Growing a business or transitioning to a new HR system is great but without the right data and operational structure, things can get messy quickly. I work with UK businesses and software implementation consultants who need practical, risk-aware HR expertise. I specialise strictly in two high-stakes areas: HRIS System Document Migrations and Complex Employee Relations (managing disciplinaries, grievances, and workplace disputes). By bringing data discipline and UK employment law together, I ensure your new HR software is populated flawlessly, your historical files remain GDPR-compliant, and your staff issue documentation is completely bulletproof. โ CORE SPECIALISM 1: PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC HRIS DOCUMENT MIGRATION When transitioning to a new HRIS, internal teams get caught out manually moving thousands of loose legacy files. I act as an expert data-cleansing and migration gatekeeper. Because our file-structuring protocol is executed securely outside your live software environment, we support migrations into or out of any HR platform on the market. We handle the messy legacy extraction and deliver a "Bulk Import-Ready" package tailored to your destination software's exact import specifications, saving your team hundreds of manual hours. My services include: โข Pre-migration file pool audits and diagnostic folder mapping. โข Algorithmic filename string sanitisation (removing trailing spaces and illegal characters). โข Unique ID reconciliation to completely eliminate record misallocation. โข Compliant "Catch-All" taxonomy routing for obscure legacy documents. โข Complete cross-platform compatibility (Workday, HiBob, Rippling, Deel, Personio, BambooHR, CIPHR, IRIS, Moorepay, SharePoint, and Google Drive). โข Accredited Ecosystems: Breathe HR (Certified Partner) & Employment Hero. โ CORE SPECIALISM 2: EMPLOYEE RELATIONS & STAFF DISPUTES I provide highly structured, objective support for England-based employers facing sensitive workplace challenges: โข Managing formal disciplinary and grievance processes from start to finish. โข Drafting workplace dispute, absence management, and hearing documentation. โข Creating compliance-safe contracts of employment and employee handbooks. โข Strategic risk-aware decision support aligned strictly with ACAS guidelines. โ WHY CORPORATE PARTNERS WORK WITH ME โข Flat-Fee, Value-Based Pricing: No unpredictable hourly billing or scope creep. โข Strict Data Security: I do not require live system login credentials for bulk cleansing. โข Dual Expertise: I understand both the IT data matrix and the legal compliance behind the record. I work best with fast-growing SMEs, startups, and independent HR software implementation consultants who need a trusted backend delivery partner to keep projects on schedule. If you have an upcoming software rollout or a pressing staff issue to resolve, click "Invite to Job" and let's schedule a brief introductory call.

15+ years inside HR gives you a perspective most consultants simply don't have. I've built the compliance frameworks that protect businesses from costly legal exposure, and reviewed the resumes that actually get people hired. That dual vantage point is what makes the difference for my clients! If you're a business owner, I know what keeps you protected. If you're a professional, I know exactly what a hiring manager is looking for before your resume even reaches their desk. ๐ข HR Compliance & Policy One outdated policy can cost more than you'd expect, financially and reputationally. I help businesses get ahead of that risk. โธ Employee Handbooks: Legally sound, industry-specific policy manuals built to protect your business. โธ POSH Compliance: Policies, committee setup, and training programs that meet legal standards. โธ Employment Documentation: Contracts, offer letters, and HR documentation built for clarity and enforceability. โธ Labor Law Compliance: Across local, state, and federal requirements, proactively managed. โธ Performance Management: Systems that reduce disputes, support fair processes, and protect against liability. โธ Modern Workforce Policies: Remote work, leave management, and policies for today's hybrid teams. ๐ Resume Writing & Career Strategy These resumes are written by someone who has sat on the other side of the table: reviewing applications, shortlisting candidates, and making hiring decisions. I know what gets attention and what gets skipped. โธ ATS-Optimised Resumes: Strategic keyword placement with measurable, role-specific impact statements. โธ Executive Resumes: C-suite and senior leadership transitions, built for board-level credibility. โธ Cover Letters & LinkedIn: Profiles optimised for recruiter search visibility and connection conversion. โธ Career Transition Support: Resumes that reframe transferable skills with confidence and clarity. โธ Job Search Strategy: Application guidance, interview preparation, and career planning support. Recent Projects โ Built a complete HR compliance framework for a 150-employee tech company, preventing a potential $180K POSH violation. โ Developed remote work policies for international teams spanning 12 countries. โ Created performance management systems that reduced client turnover by 40%. โ Clients report 60% fewer HR disputes after policy implementation. Founders scaling a team, HR managers closing compliance gaps, or professionals ready for their next move, I work with clients who are serious about getting it right. If that sounds like you, let's connect.
