About Foster Your People HR
My mission is to give you access to a great HR business partner for your small or growing business, when you need it.
People are crucial to an organisation’s success, so I’m dedicated to enhancing their work lives and helping them achieve better results. HR solutions aren’t one-size-fits-all, I use my experience to provide practical, customised solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Background
My name is Jennie Griffiths and I have 15 years experience in HR, across a wide range of industries, from engineering and consultancies to call centres and education.
I set up Foster Your People in 2024, a time of proposed major changes to employment rights in the UK. I became an independent consultant to share my knowledge, skills and passion for good HR and people management with both established SME organisations and Start-ups (particularly within our local area of Dumfries and Galloway) that don’t have full time in-house HR professionals.
I’m here to help if you want advice on anything to do with people, or if you’re looking for more practical support with selecting, managing, developing and retaining staff.
My approach is to understand what is important for your business, then I can give you pragmatic straightforward advice, helping you to stay legally compliant and navigate whatever people challenges you are facing, in the best way for your organisation.
I’m a fully qualified and Chartered Member of the CIPD, with a BSc Hons in Business Administration from the University of Bath and a Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management from Oxford Brookes University. I’m also a British Psychological Society Accredited Test User for Ability Testing and Occupational Personality Testing, qualified to use psychometric tests and the MBTI assessment which can be a powerful tool for team building, individual development, change management and communication.
Values
As a CIPD member, I adhere to strict professional and ethical principles, as well as putting my own strong personal values at the heart of my practice. When working with me, you will find that I uphold and value:
Respect and humanity
Collaboration
Transparency
Professionalism and integrity
“extremely helpful and easy to talk to regarding all areas of HR. She always has time for any queries big or small and her approach to discussing employment laws/regulations takes away the jargon and monotony that can often come with HR meetings ”
