Testimonials
Lisa made a significant contribution to the HR strategy of Highway Insurance, handling the strategic and operational people aspects of the business in a very professional manner. Her achievements included:
- Market review and recommendations of the remuneration and benefit strategy, resulting in increased benefits more suited to the workforce and an overall cost neutral outcome;
- Restructuring of 3 brokers, including harmonisation of terms and conditions, increased employee engagement, reduction in absence and turnover;
- Managing the people element of all merger and acquisition activity;
- Introducing competency frameworks to measure competency, provide clear structured career paths, and exceed the expectations of the FSA. This led to the introduction of several leadership development programmes, tailored for first line managers through to Executive Board Members.
She developed excellent relationships within the business and could be relied upon to take responsibility for any people related issues needing resolution and see them through to conclusion. Lisa is a highly competent HR professional and will be a great asset to any organisation. I would highly recommend her.
