That is why you need HR. We are professionals who can help you manage all of your people assets and your people liabilities, so you just focus on business success.
Employment Law

You can’t escape from it no matter how hard you try, and it continues to apply throughout the employment lifecycle from recruitment to exit. You need to be legally compliant and we can help to ensure you are. Don’t be frightened of it ..just trust us to help you understand it.

Barney
Head of Bone Burying & Barking
Olyvetree HR was founded in 2014 by Yvonne Devereux… that’s me… on the left (or just above depending on what device you are viewing this page) and just below is my trusted little furry friend Barney who joined us in 2016 as Head of Bone Burying and Barking.
I have worked in HR for over 25 years starting as an HR Administrator based in London for a very well known (well it was then ..) IT company and progressing to senior HR roles in well known, trusted corporate organisations (you can see them on my Linkedin profile).
I know that managing people is not easy (I have done it). I know that interpreting employment law is also very challenging (I know, I studied it and now spend a great deal of my time helping clients interpret it and play fairly and legally). People are unpredictable and every single situation I have dealt with over the years has been different.
That is why I love what I do … no two days are ever the same.
Change is inevitable in everything that we do, our lives, our jobs, our relationships, our family … everything. Plans change too and we just have to learn to adapt, just like businesses do when markets change or circumstances change.
Working with you as your Trusted HR Professional, you will get someone who you can share ideas with and who understands the risks that certain decisions could create. Somebody who can also suggest positive options that help to enhance the working environment, provide development opportunities, engage employees and prevent unnecessary attrition or just somebody who can work with you through good and difficult times and genuinely help and guide you through the minefield of employment legislation so you are able to feel confident to make the decisions you need to for your business.
