Notes

Thoughts, practical advice and useful context on the things that come up at work.

I write about the moments people often find themselves trying to make sense of on their own: job offers, starting well in a new role, negotiating, managers, performance conversations, workplace change, parental leave, difficult decisions and what HR may be looking at from the other side.

Some Notes will explain how something works. Others will be things I’m noticing, questions worth asking or perspectives from more than 15 years working inside HR.

The aim is simple: to make work a little easier to understand.

Have something you want me to write about?

If there is a work situation, HR process or question you keep hearing people ask, send it through. I can’t respond publicly to individual confidential situations, but it may become a useful topic for a future Note.

General information can be useful. Your situation may be different.
