"Joanne Kane acted as the Interim HR Director at Choice over the period January 2016 to July 2016. Joanne joined the organisation at relatively short notice due to a member of the senior management team opting to take voluntary severance. Choice was formed from the merger of 4 previously stand alone Housing Associations; Oaklee, Trinity, Ulidia and Open Door. During the time Joanne worked with us we were undergoing a period of significant change including a restructuring of the senior management team, a major job evaluation, a renegotiation of existing terms and conditions and a significant project in relation to the delivery of services in our Tenant and Client Services Directorate. I was extremely impressed by Joanne’s ability to hit the ground running and also the quality and depth of the experience and expertise that she brought to the role. Further to the recruitment of a permanent HR Director, we have gone on to work with Joanne’s organisation Headstogether on a number of other assignments including the introduction of a performance appraisal system and a training and development programme for middle managers."
"Headstogether are the retained HR agency for MXB shopper marketing agency. We appointed them to support us with HR advice as we went about growing our team. What we got was so much more. An invaluable extension to our team, Headstogether have worked with us to develop and implement a leadership model to nurture and instil the attitudes and behaviours we expect from our people. This has proven to be a real asset to our team as we grow together. Our senior management team are undergoing a comprehensive training programme developed and led by Headstogether, which will equip them into the future as exceptional people managers. The contribution from Headstogether into our Performance Management Programme will help us to develop all of our people into the leaders we know they can be. They are a true partner."
