HR Consultancy
As an experienced HR practitioner I’ve worked in small start-ups, and large unionised organisations. I qualified with the CIPD in 2014 and have continued to take on opportunities to develop my knowledge, skills and practice. I’m a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD and enjoy mentoring new starters in HR.
I am not a traditional HR person. I know that in HR terms one size doesn’t fit all, and the best HR solutions deliver business results and engagement. My services tends to fall into two categories;
- Retained service; providing senior support and strategic guidance to new or growing teams and businesses. I’ve got particular experience within values-based organisations, charities, Universities and Bcorps. I really enjoy putting people and values at the heart of HR practices and designing and embedding sustainable and effective HR solutions and functions.
- One-off projects. Whether it’s supporting a leader to turn a team around, or designing and delivering a solution to a particular business issue, I’m happy to discuss what might work for you. Recent examples of work include introducing a new approach to performance management, designing target operating models and supporting teams through organisational change.
“”I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with Tamsin, both on very complex issues and in new major initiatives. She is most impressive in being able to see the wider high-level context, issues and opportunities in any project while also addressing detailed matters and draw out points which others have missed. She is able to reach out to all around her in a most impressive way to understand them, and then engender trust and positivity. Her contributions in many aspects of the organisation were great and I recommend her to you most warmly.”
“Tamsin is the consummate HR and people management professional. From everyday operational issues, such as a contract of employment, absence management and appraisals, to strategic people and leadership development, Tamsin brings a down-to-earth, pragmatic and insightful approach to all things people management. She provides an objective sounding board whilst also giving sound direction and guidance: to our team she is simply invaluable!”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tamsin in various capacities over the last 10 years, building a relationship grounded in shared values and a belief that business can and should be a force for good. Most recently, we collaborated on a project for a client to design, build and deliver a People Function from the ground up. The client, a small yet successful company with a rich heritage, had never had never had dedicated HR support. Navigating the change process brought its fair share of challenges. Tamsin’s extensive experience and technical prowess in HR provided the gravitas needed to earn the respect and trust of the leadership team, ultimately driving the project to success. Tamsin is that rare ‘full stack’ HR expert who excels in understanding the strategic context while delivering on the practical execution required to bring a business’s vision to life. She is equally at ease coaching senior executives as she is facilitating workshops with frontline staff. If you’re look to establish an HR function, elevate your existing one or tackle the most sensitive HR challenges, I can think of no one better than Tamsin.”
“Tamsin has been invaluable in helping our company focus on people and culture in a strategic and comprehensive way. She was able to understand our unique culture and tailor her approach and solutions to the specifics of our mission and values. She provided practical support, through a number of phases, that will provide a solid and sustained approach to performance management, engagement and succession. Tamsin brings expertise, experience and an insight into people and processes that has been remarkable.”
