Joanne Hadwin, HR Consultant

I had been working in HR for 20 years when I made the decision to setup Resolve Human Resources Ltd.

In many ways it was an easy decision to take.

In my life outside work I’d often be asked to help friends (or friends-of-friends!) with tricky workplace HR issues. I found it really rewarding to see how my HR experience and employment law qualifications could help them resolve the people challenges they faced as small business owners.

Over time I realised that I was gaining more satisfaction from these projects than from my day-job. I could also see the immediate impact that could be achieve by working with business owners on a one:one basis.

After 20 years in full-time employment, I set up Resolve Human Resources.

I help clients tackle those tricky HR issues that they have put off for too long - either due to lack of time, expertise or confidence, allowing them to focus on growing their business. My main aim is to provide clients with peace-of-mind, knowing that their people issues are in safe hands.

I’m motivated by working with small businesses, building long-term relationships and helping them succeed.

Testimonials
Radiator Digital

Joanne helped us resolve a potentially challenging HR issue and we found her easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable - whilst being able to provide hands-on support, not just advice from a distance From our initial meeting Joanne clearly outlined the steps, actions and timescales required to get to a resolution; having used other professional services in the past I found her approach a breath of fresh air and exactly what a business owner requires in terms of a clear, practical solution based on the business need. I would thoroughly recommend Joanne as a safe pair of hands and look forward to working with her again.

Executive Director, Industrial Services business

Joanne is the real deal. She is calm under pressure, is a trusted source of advice and deals with prickly issues in a no nonsense unfussy way. A consummate, hard working senior professional

HR Director, global industrial services business

Joanne is resilient, commercially astute, results orientated and a great team player. I would not hesitate to recommend her to SMEs for project work, as she is someone who delivers on her commitments.

Employment Law partner

I have worked with Joanne for a number of years. Most recently she supported me with the preparation of the Company's successful defence of a complex discrimination claim. Joanne's employment law knowledge, strategic input and attention to detail were exceptional and in my experience much beyond what I would expect of a HR professional at her level. This was noted also by our Counsel at the hearing. I would recommend her without hesitation; a pleasure to work with.

Opthalmic Director

Joanne has now helped my business on several occasions, and I am thankful to have found Resolve. She finds simple solutions to what seems like difficult situations in my business, using her vast experience in HR. She responds to my queries in a calm efficient manner, nothing is too much hassle nor a concern. I feel confident in all my HR decisions knowing Joanne has guided me.
