About

I am a senior Human Resources professional, with broad based expertise performing, directing and coaching in HR functions such as recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, industrial relations, occupational health and safety management, talent and succession management, organisation design, remuneration and benefits, change management, strategy formulation and policy and procedure development. My strengths lie in my ability to identify and implement value-adding human resource solutions which enable the achievement of organisational objectives. I relate to, and communicate effectively with, people throughout all levels of an organisation, thereby gaining an understanding and appreciation of prevailing issues from the perspective of all stakeholders, resulting in the development and delivery of more widely acceptable solutions, and the development of productive cultures which have a positive impact on the bottom line.
