London
I’m Sarah Jo. Welcome to peopleknd. peopleknd. helps organisations like yours to
grow through their people. peopleknd. was born out of my passion for improving
lives and organisations by working with people in their workplace. I am an HR
and People & Culture expert who supports SMEs on people matters. I am an HR and
People & Culture lecturer who supports the next generation of people
professionals. Being a practitioner and an academic helps me to support you by
keeping my practices up to date with the latest HR and People & Culture
research, continuously learning from HR and People & Culture practice and
theory. I strongly believe that Knowledge for Action is the best way forward
rather than knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Practice without the latest
knowledge misses crucial developments in the field. I also enjoy speaking and
writing on key HR matters and, currently, I am writing the HR column of the
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry‘s Business Magazine. Here are my latest
two articles – Five ways to overcome the current skills shortage & Is the
four-day week the future of work? During the years I’ve often been asked ‘What
kind of people do you want in your organisation? The Ambitious, the
Hard-working, the Self-motivated, the Reliable, the Communicator, the
Self-starter, the Passionate, or the Committed?‘ My answer? The People kind. All
of the above and a lot more. Organisations succeed when they understand that
their people have good days – days when they are the Self-motivated, the
Ambitious and the Self-starter – but there are also days when they are the
Tired, the Stressed, or the Challenging. We, at peopleknd., acknowledge people’s
good days and bad days, understand that none of us can perform at our best every
day, celebrate successes and give support when needed. peopleknd. was born to
celebrate people and organisations. To help you nurture a happy workplace. To
support your organisation during good times and bad times. To help your
organisation transform and grow. We offer expert HR advice on key people
matters. We train. We mediate. We conduct research on key HR and People &
Culture matters. We care about your people and organisation. We strive to build
relationships and trust with you and your people, to support your efforts to
increase staff engagement, to create a working environment that nurtures
learning and development and improves performance, to help you attract and
retain talent, and to make sure your business and staff are guided by up-to-date
policies and procedures tailored for you. The world is changing at a fast pace.
Mankind is changing its way of working. ‘Mankind’ is changing. The future is
People. ‘Mankind’ becomes ‘peoplekind’. Change is inevitable, but you choose how
to react to change and get your organisation where you want it to be to
accomplish the vision you have for it. I believe in simple things. Through my
work I’ve understood one simple thing that stays at the core of organisational
transformation. Treat people like people and they will be happier. Happy people,
better organisations. I am looking forward to meeting you and your people.
