HR for the Non-HR Manager Course

Yvonne believes that people doing great things make great businesses. We all need to be clear about what is expected of us at work, what our employers will do in return and what how we will be supported if things don’t go quite to plan. Businesses need to know how to do all this within the framework of current regulations and legislation! This is where HR comes in. Yvonne has a wealth of experience of managing people and businesses. She began her people management career at BSI as Head of Delivery where she managed a publishing, printing and warehousing division of over 50 people. Eleven years later, she went on to join what was then one of the top 500 law firms in the country firstly as their HR Director. In recognition of her contributioin to the business, in 2009 she became one of the first non-lawyer partners in the UK. She continued to provide an HR service to the law firm and also worked very closely with employment solicitors to provide an HR consultancy service to their clients. Yvonne developed a passion for supporting HR and non-HR managers to manage people in their businesses. In 2012 she decided to set up her own HR consultancy. Yvonne has a unique insight into how businesses can become successful and how HR can help. This, coupled with a great knowledge of employment law is a winning combination. She helps anyone who has responsibility for any aspect of HR in small, medium and large businesses across many different sectors.
