Donna joined the Gravitate HR team in October 2024 and in this blog she talks about her vast HR experience and what she loves about working in HR.

Tell us about yourself, how did you get into HR and what brought you to Gravitate?

I am a skilled and experienced HR professional consultant and executive coach. I have worked within the HR space for over 20 years and I have dealt with everything from challenging and complex employee relations issues through to developing and implementing HR strategy that gets results. I’m passionate about people and my enthusiasm will help energise you and your teams. My moto is to ‘to keep it real’ and to have fun in life and to solve problems together.

I have a wealth of experience including (and not limited to) strategic and operational HR processes, leading site restructures, re-aligning terms and conditions, performing TUPE transfers, developing employee engagement plans and implementing organisational change projects and union management.

I’m very approachable and friendly and will offer you practical and supportive advice.

Gravitate HR aligns with my personal values, and I enjoy the fact that we offer a personal tailored approach to our clients and are such a lovely team to work with.

What is your role?

As the Lead HR Consultant my role is to support each of my clients individually to help them get the best out of their teams. No ‘one size fits all’ and it is important for me to build up business relationships to ensure I deliver results.

I love getting to know current and potential clients. You will often find me out and about networking and building collaborative partnerships with new and existing clients. If you want to chat please do get in touch.

What do love about HR?

I really enjoy the variety of work that comes with working within HR. I love to learn about the business and how they operate and review how as a consultant I can offer support to them. I also enjoy getting know the teams and looking at ways to support learning and development.

What do you do outside of work?

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking in the outdoors and love a boxset binge!
