About

I started BDHR to make good HR simple

After 20 years in senior HR, advising CEOs, managing complex employee relations and leading people strategy, I know what people problems cost. Time, money, focus and sleep. 

With experience in financial services, insurance, retail and charity sectors, I have worked in established businesses and founder led growing businesses, with employees from 300 to 5000.  I've undertaken restructures, TUPE, mass recruitment campaigns, improving people metrics, complex employee relations, improving engagement and embedding values.  

As an HR consultant I work with founders and business owners who have built great businesses and want to get the people side right.  My approach is commercial, practical and straightforward.  No jargon, no unnecessary complexity, the right foundations put in place.

Because when your people are supported and clear on what's expected, it shows, in your culture, your customer experience and your bottom line.

Psychology BSc, Human Resource Management MSc, coaching qualification and 20+ years experience.

Services

HR Audit

If you're not sure whether your HR foundations are where they need to be, this is where we start.

I'll review what you currently have in place, contracts, policies and new starter processes.  Then give a clear picture of what the gaps are and what you need to put in place.

Straightforward advice you can act on.

HR Conversations

Have you got a people issue and you're not sure how to handle it?  Sometimes you just need to talk it through with someone who knows their stuff.

A one off session where we work through your specific issues together.  Whether it is a performance issue, absence or a difficult conversation.  You'll walk away with clarity and a clear next step.

HR Retainer & Fractional HR

Hr support, built around your business.

Whether you need ongoing HR support or senior strategic HR leadership, i work with you on a retained basis, on a scale that makes sense for where your business is at right now.

For some clients that is regular practical HR support and for growing business something more strategic.  

We'll have a conversation to build something that works for you.

"Bev has been a calm and reassuring presence during the hectic, early stages of a fast paced and complex start-up. I am pleased to say nothing has phased her. Not only is her advice and support, actionable and effective, it is also delivered quickly and efficiently. Best of all with empathy and a practical understanding of the realities of the situation.  She is a pleasure to work with, just don't tell anyone else about her."
Tim Robinson, Co-founder Murmur
