Services for HR clients

Connect your people with your strategy

Whether you’re a CHRO of a multinational or a department of one in a small organization, I’ve got you covered.

I’ll bring powerful words, strategic storytelling and clear communications to connect your people to your strategy, drive behaviour and create change.

Whether you need to attract new talent or bring your people with you on a transformation journey, I’m here to help.

I can help you with:

  • Change communications

  • Internal communications and employee engagement

  • Employer branding

  • Onboarding documents

  • Making HR strategies come to life

  • Employee retention communications

Those are the main things, but I’m always open to other projects.

Great communications don’t cost – they save money and protect the bottom line.

What would the value to your organization be if you could…

  • Attract top candidates while minimising hefty search or recruitment fees? (usually recruiters charge between 15-20% of the candidate’s salary; that rises to 25-35% of the first years’ total reward for executives).

  • Retain key talent without having to speak to your reward team outside of the pay review cycle?

  • Bring your existing people along with you on a transformation journey and keep their valuable institutional knowledge?

  • Onboard your new hires faster so they start delivering sooner?

And these are just a few examples!

I’ve helped on the following HR projects

  • Korn Ferry-Hay Group acquisition

    A $452 million acquisition combining two global HR services firms into one entity, requiring tailored comms for staff, clients, the public, shareholders and the global business press.

  • PMI-Disciplined Agile acquisition

    An acquisition to help Project Management Institute progress their digital transformation that needed to be sensitively communicated.

  • Bowel Cancer UK Employer branding

Flexible working to suit your needs

    • You need a lot of content and/or communications producing over a minimum of three months (for example, over a merger or acquisition process);

    • You want to augment your team with flexible, expert communications support so they’re free to deliver other priorities;

    • You need someone to come in, slot into your team, come up with ideas and most importantly, implement them;

    • You want to hire a seasoned, Director level internal comms specialist and copywriter without committing to a full time role’s price tag!

  • Many HR clients, particularly if they’re leading on a transformation, M&A, or large scale change program, choose to work with me on a retainer basis.

    It means I really get embedded into how the organization ticks, understand the people who make it great and how to communicate changes in a way that’s sensitive and respectful, but still lands.

    The more I work with you, the faster I get at crafting content and communications that connect your people to your strategy and bring them with you.

  • Retainers start from £750/month, minimum commitment three months. That investment could get you:

    • 1 x monthly longform internal newsletter for a global organization

    • 1 x CEO’s letter

    • 5 x CEO’s LinkedIn storytelling posts

    These are just examples – get in touch with your requirements for a bespoke quote.

Retainers

    • You have a specific deliverable in mind but no capacity to do it internally;

    • You don’t need lots of content or copy assets producing – just a few targeted pieces;

    • You want ideas and creativity quickly distilled into deliverables;

    • You want support for a short amount of time and then you and your team will take it from there.

    • Employer branding advertorials

    • Copyediting a new HR policy into plain language

    • A suite of employee focused change comms, for example to launch a new pay strategy

    • Internal comms consultancy

  • One off projects start from £1500. That investment could get you:

    • 1 x 300 word Intranet landing page and 1 x employee newsletter pointing users to it

    • Copyediting a two page policy document
