Instructor Bio

Polly Rathbone

With 19 years’ experience in HR, I love to help businesses with any aspect of employment and people management. One of the things I enjoy the most is helping businesses when they take on staff for the first time. This can be a daunting time and there is a lot to consider. Helping organisations have all the right practices in place is satisfying as it enables the business and its people to thrive and grow.

Testimonials

“Polly is absolutely brilliant. Listens to the clients needs and provides solutions tailored to them. I had no idea where to start with employing people and Polly was incredibly patient and took me through everything so that I had a complete understanding. 100% recommend. ”

Lizzie Bayley, MD

“We asked Polly to create a set of HR policies and procedures for a new company that had just started to hire employees and contractors. She came back to us very quickly with a comprehensive set of policies that helped us to fulfil our statutory responsibilities. More importantly, she helped us to think about the relationship we wanted to have with our staff and how to make sure that we treated people fairly right from the start. It was a pleasure to work with Polly and I'm very grateful for her thoughtful comments and quick response times.”

Sarah Laville, Finance Director

“Happy to recommend Polly as a professional, thorough and supportive HR resource. Clearly explains all the various options and allows you to see the “wood for the trees” for your best options. Would not hesitate to recommend and to use again”

Leslie Redwood, CEO
