“GIVING HR A SEAT AT THE STRATEGIC TABLE.”

Based in our Belfast office, Louise is a specialised organisational development consultant, who leads teams to deliver highly impactful strategic initiatives, workshops, business development.

Louise believes in forming true partnerships. To do that, she first works closely with her clients to understand how their organisations currently work, what’s going well, and what are their challenges. Once she has a better understanding of their business she can advise on how to enhance their performance through their people and people initiatives. The areas she is most passionate about, and where she believes she adds most value, are in exploring how organisations can enhance their performance and effectiveness through interventions such as; team dynamics, engagement and listening, recruitment, onboarding, mentoring, performance, talent and succession planning.

BRINGING HR IN EARLY

“I think a common misconception with HR is that you’re brought in when things are going wrong, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. HR works best when brought in early, securing that seat at the table to deliver real strategic guidance and advice. We turn all the things that companies want to do, into actions, whether it’s surrounding operational effectiveness, training, understanding employee engagement, recruitment, support onboarding, mentoring, performance management, talent, and succession planning.”

ANYONE CAN GOOGLE BEST PRACTICE

“Anyone can google best practice in organisational development – but the likelihood of these findings working in practice is practically none, and that is down to each organisation is as unique as the people who work there, and whilst best practice is a great place to start, I can make it specific, actionable, measurable, real and truly workable for them.”

WITHOUT PEOPLE, THERE IS NO ORGANISATION

“It’s funny to me that Organisational Development side of HR is often seen as the ‘fluffy and woolly’ stuff even though it encapsulates how people are attracted and why they stay, how they develop and progress – without understanding this, you don’t have an organisation at all. That’s why it’s always great to work with clients who see the value in HR and don’t just view it as a tick box exercise, it’s in these moments that organisations really reap the benefits of the work we do.”

NO ONE CAN BE THE BEST ON THEIR OWN

“We want to be the best, but no one can be the best on their own. Any idea that someone can bring to the table triggers a new way of thinking and I really enjoy the element of my role that allows me to see everyone’s strengths and work with them on developing these – whether that’s in clients, or colleagues.”
