CLIENTS AND PARTNERS
From ad hoc special projects to retainer arrangements, OPEN HR is proud to be working with a variety of amazing organisations in our capacity as consultants, business partners and associates.
COLLABORATORS
I come with a bag of expertise, knowledge and professionalism. While I'm mostly a one-woman unit, behind this efficient little set-up is a formidable network I've gathered along the way: Freelancers, consultants, providers, change-makers and other HR professionals.
Together, in our marketplace and knowledge space, we tap into each other's strengths and use our collective expertise to solve issues that we alone may not be able to, so if you hear me say "we" it's because I have an amazing network of collaborators and colleagues with us. #futureofwork

ESTHER KWAKU
Hi there! I'm all about igniting transformation through joy and purpose in the workplace. #joyfulwork. I'm a dynamic facilitator and coach, bringing the kind of electric energy that helps you - leaders and teams - connect with what truly matters. My approach, whether in boardrooms or away days, uses Liberating Structures and human-centered methods to unlock collective wisdom and breakthrough thinking. I've been in the nonprofit sector (UK and International) for 25 years, all of it rooted in social impact and human-centredness. I love to design and structure conversations where people can authentically flourish, so you remember why you do what you do. 🫶🏾

Hello. I’m Lucy Maxwell Scott, a Reward specialist and OD and HR consultant, with 30 years of independent consultancy experience primarily in the charity and not-for-profit sectors. My background includes designing job evaluation systems and global reward strategies and frameworks, managing organisational development projects, performance management frameworks, and leadership and team coach-mentoring. My practice is driven by the desire to find the right creative solution for the client and a particular focus on ensuring internal capacity building, and that diversity, equality, and inclusion are bedded into the way projects are designed and delivered.
We don't mind the rumble.
There is no issue we haven't come across and nothing puts us off. That said, there's nothing worse than the nagging feeling that you don't know what you don't know. We can alleviate that pressure of being worried that mistakes might get made or that something is missing. Leading people is a huge responsibility, so we can guide on how ALL staff can feel supported, felt, heard and respected.
Whatever the situation, we are happy to walk you through.
In totally safe settings, of course.
