A passion for listening

I love to help people connect with each other and businesses. Listening and measuring impact are important for driving improvement.

Change without the chaos

HR and Internal Communications working as one

When scale-ups and SMEs face rapid growth, restructures, mergers, or major transformations, they often hire HR and internal communications separately. This can lead to misaligned messages, confused employees, and change that stalls.

Karen Dolan (Karen HRM) and I have partnered since 2024 to offer something different: integrated HR and communications support for change and engagement.

Why it works:

HR strategy and employee engagement working to the same plan
One team who understand both the people implications and how to communicate them
Clear accountability and coordinated delivery

How we work:

We offer flexible arrangements to suit your needs - from full programmes to specific elements like surveys, restructure communications, or engagement initiatives. Available on a project basis, as a fixed package, or through a retained arrangement.

Karen and I recently guided a restructure and engagement programme at an insurance company. Working to a joint plan we managed the internal communications strategy, the messaging, the formats, ran employee surveys and employee focus groups. This meant that the restructure was well implemented and received, with continued staff engagement throughout the process.

Research example

Survey for the Highways Sector Council of UK highways employees to inform a strategic recruitment campaign and improvements to help make the industry a career of choice.

Employee engagement

At a tech scale-up, I set up and managed and employee resource group, managed their employee survey, updated the company values with employee involvement and introduced an annual award.

IC measurement

Whether you're starting from scratch or need an overhaul of your current methods and how you present data, I can help. My approach is outcome-focused and insight-led, with a strong emphasis on employee voice and behavioural change.
