A Responsible Approach to HR Management
[Updated 15/02/24]
Have you stood near a causeway and seen drivers ignore the incoming tide and take a chance at getting across? I have witnessed similar behaviour in hr managers – watching the consequences when an earlier intervention would have prevented issues and taken account of the current and future context.
As a general manager, frankly, I found hr managers to be of little help because,
“when considering issues and options a customer and commercial focus were barely present; employment law was used as an excuse to put off tackling issues.”

I decided to move into hr management, not as an idealist, but to demonstrate that effective hr advice should be on:
the real issues;
the current and future context of your organisation;
minimising risks;
not using employment law as an excuse to avoid tackling key issues.
Senior roles in general management and HR management had exposed me to difficult and complex issues in several sectors. Those experiences were enhanced by my professional qualifications, degree in law and specialist training in employee relations and exposure to live issues. Clients and collegues tell me that I have a different, welcome way of advising on hr management issues and managing people from different disciplines which included: technical, medical, logistics, hospitality, manufacturing and in hr management and organisational consultancy.
