Laura Fox
CD Style (Considerer/Doer)
I specialise in HR compliance and employee relations, people development, and culture-driven strategies, providing tailored solutions that address the unique needs of small and growing businesses and helping them to achieve both legal security and long-term business success. My key areas of expertise include:
- HR compliance and employment law
- Simple and streamlined people processes
- People development, e.g., employee engagement, training, values-based leadership
- Complex (and non-complex!) employee relations, e.g., discipline and grievance, performance management, etc.
- Workplace training and education
My approach is both client-focused and people-driven, and I balance my expertise in HR compliance with a genuine passion for people development. I love building strong relationships with my clients and their people, and my goal is to act as an extension of their business, aligning my services with their values and goals.
I love to incorporate tools like DiSC to enhance self-awareness, improve team dynamics, and drive people development, and seeing these insights line up with and add value to my clients’ business goals.
How can I help you?
I offer practical, tailored HR support and people development solutions like DiSC training to address the unique challenges of businesses. Whether it’s ensuring compliance with employment law, streamlining processes, or supporting the development of stronger team dynamics, I provide clear, actionable guidance.
My focus is on aligning people strategies with business goals, helping leaders create engaged, high-performing teams and a culture that drives growth. I make HR approachable and effective, empowering businesses to thrive whilst working through the complexities of managing people.
How I work:
I work in a focused, analytical, and results-oriented way, reflecting my CD DiSC style, which also has a unique tendency towards action. I thrive on bringing clarity and structure to complex situations, carefully assessing details and providing solutions grounded in evidence and best practices. My natural tendency to focus on compliance and accuracy is balanced by a drive to get things done and deliver tangible outcomes.
Interesting facts about me:
• I always bring an element of humour to the way I work, which helps when managing particularly tricky or emotional situations.
• I’ve lived in both the Netherlands and South Africa at various points in my life, and would like to retire somewhere warm later on in life!
• When I’m not working, I’m usually juggling the parental admin of two very wonderful, but deeply exhausting, boys.
Laura’s advice is always straightforward, reliable, and tailored to our specific needs. She is always available to answer our questions, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us achieve our goals. I am confident that our HR is now in safe hands, and I would highly recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for external HR support.
Laura was a lifesaver when we were dealing with a difficult employee. She helped us discuss our options and make a decision that was best for everyone involved. She also made sure that the resolution was implemented fairly and effectively, and that the employee was satisfied with the outcome. We couldn’t have done it without her!
