I reached out to Jo as I needed to reduce the number of working hours of an employee and didn't know where to start. I knew that my action would have emotional consequences which made the decision making process that much harder. Jo spent time with me to understand what I needed to do, how to gently communicate with the employee whilst getting the result I needed for my business. Her guidance, knowledge and support has been invaluable to me and made a difficult situation become something manageable and able to overcome. I would highly recommend Jo. She makes HR simple to understand which is refreshing and as a small business owner exactly what I need. Thank you Jo for your support.

Jo is a pragmatic and commercially focused HR professional. She’s able to find commercial HR solutions to challenging people issues, and not afraid to take issues on first hand, or just support the line manager in the resolution. She’s easy to work with, whilst also able to offer challenge where it’s needed. Moreover, Jo is also an accredited GC Index practitioner meaning she will be able to provide her clients with energy and impact data - at an individual, team and organisational level. I highly recommend you reach out to Jo to find out how she can bring a positive impact to your organisation.
