Workplace Risk Interpreter | Mediator | Author
See what others miss.Make better people decisions.
I help small businesses identify what is really happening in difficult employee situations, understand the risks and decide what to do next.
How I help
Two ways to work with me.
Both are for the moment a people decision has become difficult, and getting it wrong would be expensive.
-
Workplace Blind Spot Review
For owners and managers who know something is wrong with an employee situation but are not yet clear about the real problem or the right response.
I review the situation independently, separate the facts from the assumptions, identify the workplace and people risks, and give you practical next steps.
- An independent assessment of the situation
- The key risks and blind spots identified
- Clarity about what requires action
- Practical, prioritised next steps
- Greater confidence before making a people decision
Priced for the situation Scope and fee agreed in writing before any work starts.
Discuss your situation -
Independent Hearing Chair
For organisations that need an impartial person to chair a disciplinary, grievance or appeal hearing.
A fair, independent hearing and a clear, reasoned outcome you can act on with confidence.
- An independent chair
- Review of the relevant documents
- A properly structured hearing
- Impartial consideration of the evidence
- A clear written outcome letter
- Completion within the agreed timeframe
£1,950 per hearing Fixed fee for a single hearing about one employee, including the written outcome letter. More than one employee, more than one hearing day, or allegations of discrimination or whistleblowing are quoted separately. Either way, the fee is confirmed in writing before I accept.
