Case Studies and Testimonials

I have been lucky enough to work on a huge variety of projects and with some fantastic clients. Here’s just a selection of what I’ve delivered and feedback I’ve received

Manage HR data through an acquisition

I took an active part in the organisation’s project team to manage the integration of all shared service functions for Mouchel employees and systems, in particular for the transfer of HR, payroll and employee self service functions from using Connect (a SAP based system) to Business World.

Optimising Onboarding

Delivered an improved onboarding offering to support the business’ ambitious growth targets.

By their own admission Mouchel had a disjointed and ineffective induction deemed to be not fit for purpose. Voluntary turnover was c15% so there was an emphasis on quality recruitment and employee retention. Additionally there was no budget available to make any fundamental changes, I could only make improvements to what was already available.

Leading a project group at a large engineering consultancy firm to update their payroll processes and systems to ensure legally compliant holiday pay calculations for all UK employees.
