Olga started her HR career back in 2002 at Administrator level and worked her way up to Human Resources Manager responsible for managing the entire HR life-cycle in a fast-paced tech environment. Olga has presented at many tech events and has conducted TV and radio interviews as well as producing internal and external promotional videos to promote the employer brand.
After leaving the software sector Olga worked in the public sector in an interim Employee Relations position before moving to Phoenix Natural Gas as Human Resources Manager responsible for both HR and payroll. Here Olga digitised the recruitment process and created a health and wellbeing strategy among other things.
Still within the utilities sector, Olga moved to firmus energy as HR Manager in August 2019 where she focuses on employee engagement through an array of engagement interventions.
Olga has a BA Hons in Sociology and a Post Graduate level Diploma in Human Resource Management. She also holds a NEBOSH certificate in Health & Safety Management and is a member of the CIPD.
Olga strives to add value to any organisation she works in with the genuine belief that employers have a duty to create an environment where people want to come to work every day and contribute to the success of the organisation; just like the janitor in NASA!
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed a well-deserved break. I started writing Legal Island articles back in October of 2016 with a post on Managing Difficult Employees.
I’m very grateful to the wonderful Legal Island team for allowing me the opportunity to write about all things HR-related over the years, and for their lovely feedback and words of encouragement. I am also extremely thankful to anyone who took the time to read my ramblings and I hope that I was able to help someone who needed a steer at some point.
I have decided to take a step back from my side-line to allow me to focus on other commitments in 2024 but if you want to read any of my articles you can check them out below.
