Strategic Human Resource Professional Committed to Enhancing Organisational Effectiveness and Driving Talent Strategy in Agile and Complex Business Environments.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Human Resource Management (MSc in HRM) at the University of London, which has provided me with a strong academic foundation in contemporary human resource practices and the theoretical frameworks that underpin effective HR strategies.

Previously, as an HR Officer at LSOP London, I managed diverse HR operations, compliance issues, and initiatives to enhance employee engagement. Notably, I implemented an employee retention programme that resulted in a 25% increase in retention rates and improved productivity and team collaboration by 15% and 20%, respectively. These achievements exemplify my understanding of workplace dynamics and the critical factors influencing employee morale.

My approach to human resource management is grounded in a neo-pragmatic perspective, merging practical outcomes with theoretical insights. This methodology has enabled me to develop actionable HR strategies that align with organisational objectives. For instance, by establishing employee feedback mechanisms at LSOP London, I significantly elevated morale and engagement levels, demonstrating my ability to apply theory in practice.

I communicate complex HR concepts clearly, fostering informed dialogue among stakeholders and enhancing collaborative decision-making processes. This skill has been effective in identifying opportunities for improvement and driving initiatives that positively impact organisational performance.

I am keen to apply my skills in a progressive organisation that values innovation and strategic development, prioritising employee engagement and cultivating a positive workplace culture aligned with organisational goals.

Thoughts on Well-being

Lately, I have been reflecting on well-being in the workplace for my studies.
