“Watching my clients grow from strength to strength & knowing I have supported them through every stage of their journey is one of the most rewarding elements of my role.”

Shannon’s role is varied and involves advising on employment law queries, managing complex employee relations cases, organisational restructures, conducting HR audits, employee onboarding and benefits, recruitment and selection, and other aspects of the employee lifecycle. She also acts as the HR department for many clients where she is available as a trusted point of contact for employees on any queries/issues that may arise.

STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

“My clients expect that I will provide them with professional expert advice to ensure compliance with employment legislation and best practice. They know that they can trust me to provide reactive support for any HR need which may arise, as well as proactively helping them to plan for the future. Watching my clients grow from strength to strength and knowing I have supported them through every stage of their journey is one of the most rewarding elements of my role.”

BUILDING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS

“I am commercially focused, flexible, responsive, and truly passionate about my clients’ businesses and contributing to their success. I pride myself on building lasting relationships through delivering results and understanding the unique aspects of my clients’ business. I continually adapt my approach based on the evolving needs of my clients to ensure a bespoke service.”

DRIVING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

“It’s important to be assertive and feel comfortable to challenge our clients on the way they do things to ensure fairness and drive continuous improvement. My clients know that they can rely upon me to be honest and always provide pragmatic advice that is in the best interests of their business and their employees.”

CONNECTING LOCALLY & GLOBALLY

“I enjoy a hybrid approach to working and adopt my approach where necessary to meet the needs of my client. I am always keen to visit my local clients onsite whenever possible and this can be a great way to immerse myself in my client’s business, values and ways of working. However, many of my clients operate globally and face to face meetings aren’t always possible. Working for a technology enabled business allows me to easily connect with these clients using virtual tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and slack channels to ensure effective day to day communication.”

NO SUCH THING AS A SILLY QUESTION

“Collaboration is one of our values at AAB and is something which I think is essential within the team. We have an incredibly supportive team where everyone is happy to help and no question ever seems too silly! I know that there will always be someone in the team who has specialist knowledge on a certain topic – this ultimately benefits our clients and ensures that we provide the best guidance and advice possible.”

RELIABLE

“The greatest compliment that a client has paid me is that they value and rely upon me as they would an in-house HR Manager and that I am considered to be part of their team. It is always incredibly rewarding when a client can see the value in your work and positive contribution to their business.”
