I can help you!
Tell me what people issues you are dealing with today.
This can be a one-off piece of work or we could have an ongoing HR working relationship. I can make sure you have the basics in place such as handbooks and contracts, with a HR process that works for you to support your managers with their employee case load to ensure it is dealt with efficiently and fairly to achieve the best possible outcome.
So, why work with me when there are lots of HR professionals out there?
I have a strong, knowledgeable, and up to date HR background specialising in Employment Law. My background career as an employee has given me insights into the Leisure and Tourism sectors, Education, Retail, Mail Order, Distribution and On-line industries.
I now run my own business and work with SMEs in my local area. I appreciate how important speed of response, trust and confidence, fairness and transparency is, whilst considering the cost, commercial, financial and legal implications for the business.
I am passionate about HR and I care about people. I will always be fair and equitable, I will ask questions, I will want to understand you and your approach to your people. I want to work with you and I want your business to succeed with a happy and motivated workforce.
I am not afraid of having difficult conversations or tackling things. I will always tell you if I think your approach carries a risk and will encourage your business to become an employer of choice. I like to build sustained relationships and will encourage your team to aim for harmonious working relationships which in turn lead to a happier workforce, which in turn improves productivity and results in a successful business.
I can advise you and your managers on employee relations in line with Employment Law guidelines. I can set up your HR function, I can dip in and out and offer support/advice when you need it. I have flexible working options that can fit with you to support your business.
I am highly skilled in all aspects of HR I have maintained my own learning, development, training and knowledge throughout my whole career demonstrating my commitment to Continuous Professional Development (CPD). I can help you and your teams navigate your way through these difficult times. If you are having to look at restructuring within your teams, I can help support you and your people find solutions and ways forward.
I have excellent interpersonal skills and am at my best when supporting people to engender good Employee Relations.
I have a wealth of knowledge and ability to work with ill-health issues and welfare challenges.
I have a strong business, professional background with a Graduate Diploma in Personnel Management focused in Employment Law from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN).
My aim is to support you to have a harmonious working relationship with your staff. I care deeply about people, their lives, our communities and believe we work better pulling together, not pulling apart.
If you would like me to help you, your team and ultimately your business, please contact me on 07836 650500 or info@debbiebullockhr.com I look forward to hearing from you.
