Specialists in conducting workplace investigations.
Supporting businesses to successfully manage employee case work and confidently resolve workplace problems.

Hello
Hi, I’m Debbie and I’ve been a HR professional for almost 25 years. I am an accredited workplace mediator, certified conflict coach and a Mental Health First Aider.
Do you deal with HR? If you manage a team of people, or work specifically within HR, are there times you’d like to ask for help?
Are you:
- Concerned about not having someone experienced you can delegate or outsource HR investigations too?
- Inundated with competing demands, trying to deal with your HR casework without negatively impacting productivity elsewhere?
- Anxious about a workplace situation or perhaps you’ve been made aware of an incident or grievance and unsure how best to approach it?
- Frustrated with difficult working relationships that aren’t improving?
- Uncertain how best to resolve workplace conflict?
- Worried about blurring your own professional boundaries?
Would you benefit from having an independent, experienced, trusted, ‘go to’ HR colleague to help you;
- deliver workplace investigations,
- provide independent workplace mediation,
- support colleagues with conflict coaching to help them react and respond differently,
- hold exploratory conversations to seek meaningful feedback,
- resolve those unusual or challenging employee relations scenarios?
Working with The HR Detective you will benefit from;
- confidence that investigations and workplace concerns will be explored and managed properly
- confidence that informal conflict resolution routes can be offered via workplace mediation, facilitated conversations and conflict coaching approaches
- credible support from an experienced, skilled HR colleague who ‘gets it’, providing pragmatic advice that always considers a situation from both a HR and business mindset
- complete impartiality and a fresh perspective
- additional capacity, enabling you to focus on other things or take on other work,
- an objective viewpoint to help you make informed business decisions
- via a trusted network of associate consultants, access to additional services including conflict resolution management training and team development
I take pride in working with you to achieve HR outcomes that are right for your situation. With no retainer, I provide a responsive and affordable ‘pay as you go’ model enabling you to react to your changing HR needs and benefit from my HR Detective skills as and when you need them!
Don’t delay! Contact me today for a proactive free, exploratory chat to discover how I can become your ‘go to’ HR Detective before you actually need me! Call 07885 370054 or email Debbie@thehrdetective.co.uk
