I am recognised as one of the most experienced employment relations practitioners in New Zealand, with over 20 years of experience in this area of specialisation. I have extensive experience in Senior HR and Employee Relations, Performance Management Systems, and Strategic Assessment/HR Audit, Diversity, and Policy from my 11 years at Westpac in Health & Safety, Employee Relations, Diversity, and Policy. I provide HR & ER consulting services for both local and national clients.
I also provide specialist independent capability to companies wanting to get to the heart of serious employment issues or to conduct fact-based investigations on serious incidents in the workplace involving employees. I am a highly skilled negotiator and represent both national and local companies in collective wage bargaining forums. Clients enjoy my ‘no-nonsense’ approach, my ability to distill complex industrial and employment issues into simple themes, and my practical solutions to resolve difficult workplace issues.
