‘Sandra has been helping the SSAIB on a consultancy basis since 2019 when our company needed extra HR support. She has ensured that SSAIB navigates the ever-changing legislative and regulatory HR landscape as well as ensuring that relevant and new policies are put in place to support our staff. Sandra is, even though an external consultant, one of my staff who I can rely on, ever helpful and able to give advice on many complex HR issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and understands the pressures senior managers face on a day-to-day basis when dealing with staff. She was a fantastic help during the Covid pandemic to ensure that all staff were supported in that difficult time. I fully recommend Sandra to any firm needing help with their HR issues.’
Alex Carmichael, Chief ExecutiveSSAIB
‘We worked with Sandra to establish an HR function within our hospitality business. She carried out an initial audit and reported back to us where we benchmarked against both employment legislation and best practice criterion. A tailored action plan was implemented with Sandra providing support and guidance monthly, in addition to long-term coaching and mentoring to our on-site HR controller. Sandra’s knowledge of the industry as well as being an HR Specialist made her the ideal choice for us. I absolutely recommend working with Sandra – she relates to people across the business with a friendly and professional approach which is appreciated by all.’
