• HR/Employment Law Consultant

  • 2013 - 2017

  • I provided in house training and support for public and private sector organisations, a considerable element of which is Equality compliance focused in terms of company policies and procedures, recruitment and selection, training and diversity awareness. Some other examples include:• I provided legal advice and training to AHEAD on a range of equality and disability related matters including; Inclusive education and needs assessment, reasonable accommodations, mental health, and Employment equality.• I conducted investigations in the third level educational sector under the Disability Act 2005.• I drafted and updated employment contracts, handbooks and policy documentation for a range of private sector clients.• I had interpreted compliance obligations under the EU Working Time Directive to generate new shift rotas which were successfully implemented for a national public service provider.• I had delivered health and safety management training for emergency service personnel including air traffic controllers, Dublin Bus and Dublin Fire Brigade.• I devised & delivered training programmes on change management, team work and core managerial skills in the financial services sector. This required the design and implementation of a number of workshops for account managers in a hedge fund company where remuneration had fallen sharply against increased productivity requirements. A key achievement was to translate the revised operational constraints into efficiencies that were accepted and promoted by account managers amongst their teams.
