NEW APPOINTMENT FOR THE SURVEY INITIATIVE
Award winning Frinton-based staff survey and employee engagement specialist, The Survey Initiative, has appointed the services of a highly experienced senior level HR strategist, to further strengthen its provision of employee consultancy.
Jacqueline Mitchell, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, and Director or Granta HR, will work with specialist teams at The Survey Initiative, to analyse staff surveys and offer a blend of insightful solutions and experience to real life issues that businesses face.
Commenting on the strengths she will bring to the role, she said: "My approach is always to ask first "what can I do to help this business thrive?" With a strong commercial drive, I always look to optimise cost versus benefit, and reduce risk, while maximising the engagement and development of people at the heart of a business."
She continued: "I am naturally very analytical, reflective and insightful, which means that I have the knack of being able to look behind the raw feedback that surveys and focus groups provide, to interpret the impact of the current culture on the business and its staff. I also provide some often 'straight down the line' advice for focusing action for change."
Gary Cattermole, Director at The Survey Initiative is delighted to have her on board: "Jacqueline is an outstanding specialist with unusually broad experience. She is an excellent strategist and analyst and will bring value added interpretive narrative to the survey analysis we provide for our clients."
Jacqueline has worked in HR since 1989, and has worked from the bottom of the career ladder to the very top, having occupied a range of roles up to Director level within successful national and international organisations, including Cambridgeshire County Council, WS Atkins Consultants Ltd and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Jacqueline also spent three years on the advisory board of the UK sector skills council for promoting skills and knowledge for careers in publishing. She will also continue to run her people management consultancy, Granta HR.
With experience across all three main sectors - public, not-for-profit and commercial - Jacqueline has an exceptional understanding of how to deliver innovative yet grounded strategic and operational solutions to enable organisational growth and development. She holds a passionate belief that organisations are more successful when they have the right practices in place to enable their staff to achieve their best and engender loyalty.
