How I can help

Coaching and HR consultancy, in whatever blend you need, to enable you to manage the current Covid-19 pandemic effectively, support your employees, deliver what the business needs, and be great at your job
HR Coach, Partner & Consultant
CORONAVIRUS HR SUPPORT:
Are you overwhelmed by the volume of work to do to address the current crisis? 
 
Not sure if you need hands-on HR expertise, mentoring or coaching - or a blend of all three? My unique blend of HR coaching, an experienced mentor/thinking partner, and HR consulting means you get more bang for your buck. Whether you want to work on a tactical HR challenge together, or buy in some hands-on HR expertise across the full HR spectrum to get key projects off your plate, I can help. 
Redundancy Coaching
COACHING SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYEES:
​Do you want to support employees who have been made redundant? Or have you been made redundant yourself?
 
If so, my redundancy coaching, including a NEW innovative Group Coaching Bootcamp, may be just what you are looking for. I address the key relevant areas - emotional impact, career change or practical job search - whatever is relevant to the individual.  It's focused, bespoke to the individual's needs and designed to get results - FAST!
Webinars and Change Support
ONLINE HR SUPPORT:
​Do you want to proactively support your employees to better cope with significant change, grief or loss?
 
Would an informative webinar be a great addition to your wellbeing initiatives to support your employees, especially during the current global coronavirus pandemic? I offer a unique range of grief, change and loss wellbeing webinars, coaching and training to support employees who have experienced significant change, and want to fully recover from the impact of this. ​

Grief and Change Coaching
​& Support for Organisations

Did you know that unresolved grief is often a contributing factor to a range of mental health issues and illnesses that lead to employee absence and long-term performance issues?
 
Would you like a tried and tested alternative to EAP and counselling when an employee needs help with grief and loss? 
 
I offer programmes to educate, support and guide leaders and employees in this highly sensitive area, that left unaddressed can lead to impaired performance and productivity, stress, mental health issues and illness.

My clients say the nicest things...

“It is great to work with Gemma. 
Being an HRD can be lonely, and Gemma provides wise counsel.  Her approach is exactly what we need – the ability to apply strategic thinking to a demanding project and help the team to build influence with senior leaders.  She has a great ability to bring clarity of thought to the most complex of situations.”
“Working with Gemma is an absolute pleasure. She is flexible, insightful and cuts to the chase in lightning speed. We always cover a lot of ground in a very short space of time, which has made a real impact to me and my team. I would recommend Gemma to any senior HR leader who wants a fresh perspective and confidential support. She is a great sounding board.”

A bit about me

​People fascinate me - they always have, so it's no surprise that my career in Human Resources spans more than 20 years.  Over that time I've got the t-shirt - from working on the frontline and getting the HR basics in place, to taking a seat at the boardroom table as a strategic partner and confidante to the CEO.  

Now, as a freelance HR Coach & Consultant, I'm here to share my skills and experiences with you to help you get the most out of your people and improve your business results. 

No-one strives to be average.  If we understand our strengths, we can successfully leverage them to grow and develop, both individually and at a corporate level, to truly flourish.
