Jo has first and foremost really listened to us to understand our business. All of her recommendations are proportionate to our needs, yet with an eye on the strategic steps to take to ensure we are well set for the future. Her depth of experience is very noticeable in every conversation, and it feels very assuring to have her working as our HR partner.

Jo, provides a highly professional bespoke solution for all your HR needs. From simple points of clarification to the most complex and difficult issues. I would not hesitate to recommend SME HR Consultancy for all your external HR issues that require an independently minded professional to guid you through what can sometimes seem like a maze of complexity.

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.
