Karen Woodbridge
Karen is a Chartered Member of the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) and has a Masters level Employment Law qualification, ACEL.
She has worked in City-based multi-national corporations for over 15 years, where she specialised in "people issues".
On a voluntary basis, she has provided advice to Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB) employment advisers. She also provides career mentoring at a local school.
Karen strongly believes that HR and employment law need not be complicated, time consuming or costly. Awareness is always the first step and then implementing a few basic policies and procedures can provide
an immense return on investment for SME's.
