Profile Of Joy Craddock - MCIPD

My career started in banking with the Barclays Group in 1974. However, I discovered that Human Resources was far more exciting and switched functions becoming an HR Manager within the bank.

Throughout my career I have managed a number of teams, some included a mixture of external consultants, suppliers and company employees. I also successfully led the HR department of the innovative financial services company Skandia Life through a period of rapid growth.

I have worked throughout the UK including 10 years in the City. Since setting up my consultancy I have helped a variety of companies with employment issues.

I am used to working in partnership with all levels.

My expertise and passion for employee relations and employment law developed in the varying roles I held.

My experience is extensive in:

Absence and long term sickness
Coaching
Competencie Frameworks
Complex employee relations issues
Disciplinary and Grievances
Diversity
Employee Communications
Employment law, HR Strategy and Visioning
Job evaluation
Performance Management
Policies and Procedures
Project Management

During my career I have handled the majority of ‘sticky' and sensitive situations managers face. I believe that nothing an employee or manager may or may not do will shock me now. I will handle it delicately, in an unbiased and professional manner.

I have excellent project management skills gained through working on various large and small business change projects such as, strategy and vision setting, development of a behavioural competencies framework, pay and communications to launch performance management. Some booklets I have written won a European/Africa Region Gold Quill Award in the International Association of Business Communicators Awards.

I am an experienced job evaluation analyst and this experience includes developing and implementing a job evaluation framework for Skandia Life and other medium size companies.
