Description

Hi, I'm Kate - a CIPD Level 7-qualified Employee Relations specialist with experience supporting a range of public and private organisations across the UK, EMEA, and America.

I have a strong track record of supporting complex, sensitive HR matters with tailored, solutions-focused advice, alongside being comfortable delivering change projects, designing and implementing HR frameworks, such as policies, contracts, handbooks alongside creating thorough, robust documentation with risk mitigation in mind, ensuring this meets the needs of a business, and future-proofs it.

I'm adept at using HR analytics to drive efficiency and identify future projects and comfortable identifying new ways to capture meaningful data to support strategy.

I enjoy building genuine rapport with stakeholders at all levels and am passionate about delivering solutions that can support business goals whilst fostering positive, inclusive employee experiences.
