At CG Pro-Active HR, I specialise in working with large organisations as an extension of their HR team to deliver #HRwishlist and value-add projects.
About Me
My name is Catherine Glover and I set up CG Pro-Active HR in early 2018 after over 20 years working in HR, many of these years in fixed term, temporary or project roles.
It is safe to say that I’m not your average HR person….having originally come to HR from payroll and finance work, I understand numbers and data. I can also ‘speak IT’ and accounts which helps in delivering multi-disciplinary project work. Oh, and I love football (watching only these days)!
My HR background covers a variety of organisations, large and small, voluntary sector, NHS and private sector. My time working in small organisations is where I’ve picked up a better understanding of all parts of a business from IT to operational challenges and budgets.
I have taken something from most of my previous job roles, from the challenges of a call centre to large multi site operations with centralised HR teams. Along the way, I have learnt that I am too commercial for the public sector and that I love to get things done (mix of Belbin Completer Finisher and Coordinator styles).
All of this has led to my focus on delivering projects, working with HR Leaders to move their function from simply being an overhead / central cost to making a positive impact in their organisation. And with having just me in the business, I have the flexibility and agility to deliver a bespoke service to each and every client.
My vision is to provide clients with a safe pair of hands to tick those projects off their HR wish list, giving them more time and team resources to deliver quality HR, and, even, to leave them feeling a little smug!
My values in life and in business are:
Authenticity
Honesty, integrity and professionalism
Fairness, inclusion and respect
Working smarter, exceeding expectations
I have also reached a time in my career where I wanted to use my HR skills and experience for something other than just profits. So, along side delivering projects that add value to organisations, HR teams and employees generally, I also spend time volunteering my skills with Suited for Success (more details on Case Studies) and the Cranfield Trust.
To get a broader view of my knowledge and approach to HR and life in general, check out some of my blog and/or newsletter content for an insight.
