If you’re setting up an operation, or taking on your first members of staff, Lesley can provide expert guidance on all aspects of employment law, advise on organisation structure, and work with you to develop practices which reflect your ambitions.
From SME to PLC, from the assembly line to the bottom line, Lesley has you covered. Whatever the size or sector of your organisation, whether you need general ad hoc advice or independent support on complex people issues, Lesley is your first port of call, delivering a flexible and practical service that brings objectivity and perspective to any piece of work.
SMEs
If you don’t have your own in-house HR specialist, Lesley’s friendly, straightforward and cost-effective service is ideal to help you identify what’s required by law and what’s simply best practice, ensuring that your legal obligations are met, and problems prevented.
Transformation and change
No organisation ever stands still and restructures, transfers, takeovers, and mergers are commonplace. Alongside adhering to legal requirements surrounding significant change, ensuring staff buy-in and engagement is critical to its ongoing success. Lesley provides support on strategic and operational change management including due diligence, consultations, selection in-to and out-of the organisation, alignment of terms and conditions – all with an eye on employee wellbeing throughout the process.
C-suite support
It can be lonely at the top, and many senior executives find drawing on an external resource a huge benefit in making or testing challenging decisions. Lesley’s experience as a non-executive director/trustee for a number of organisations, as well as providing exec and board level support on strategic business change, puts her in a unique place to act as a sounding board and independent “trusted advisor” for plans and ideas. In addition, she is often called on to act as an intermediary in exiting senior staff, achieving mutually beneficial outcomes and minimising reputational risk for both parties.
Working with you
There are several ways we can work together to help you achieve the best for your organisation:
Pay as you go – this option gives you access to support as and when you need it and is charged at an hourly rate (with a minimum charge of 30 mins).
Retainer – if your requirement is for longer-term or regular support, we can agree a fixed monthly fee based on an agreed number of days per week/month.
Projects – if you need support for a standalone piece of work, then we can agree a set fee for that project.
Three values lie at the heart of my business:
- AUTHENTICITY: People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
(Maya Angelou)
- COLLABORATION: None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things with great love. And together we can do something wonderful.
(Mother Teresa)
- INTEGRITY: Doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
(CS Lewis)
