People
Christine Pratt. Managing Director & Founder of HR&DM

Christine is the MD and founder of HR & Diversity Management and has worked both within the private and the public sector in middle management and in senior HR management roles.  For the past five years Christine has worked extensively on employment law issues, particularly Employment Tribunal matters and the application and implementation of Employment Legislation in the Diversity arena.  Christine has a solid HR background combined with a flair for `organisational methodology' and a realistic understanding of both the practical aspects of Employment Law and the urgency behind the drive for legal compliance and best practice.   More recently, Christine has become well known for her insight and investigative skills in relation to anti-bullying and anti-harassment issues.  In this respect, she has supported the NHS, various Trusts, a high-street Charity, three County Policy Constabularies, two Area Health Authorities and a number of blue chips.  She has additionally written a number of articles on the subject (for People Management and Personnel Today) on the importance of management training and development and she has spoken on Television, Radio and at employment networking seminars on Diversity and Equality issues.   Christine is a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD.

David Pratt. Development & Operations Director.

David has a strong background in Training and Development in the Sales and Marketing arena.  He has ability to lead teams, whatever their skill-set, to meet clearly defined goals and objectives.  He has strong Leadership skills and has both designed and implemented a series of Personnel Development courses across Hampshire and Wiltshire.  Recently, David designed a series of Bullying and Harassment courses which he delivered to Supervisors and Managers across Hampshire and Berkshire; this involved an in-house, tailor-made course for DERA – part of the Home Office.  David is currently developing a series of training programs, on Diversity issues, which are aimed at teaching line-managers about the more practical aspects of managing people; ie: what to look for, how to react, how to work with the Companies policies and procedures and how to generally take more responsibility when employees make formal complaints.  The objective of these courses is to enable managers to broaden their skill-set whilst, at the same time, providing a transparent process that affords individuals both dignity and respect when addressing workplace disputes.  This pro-active element to management development compliments the investigative work Christine carries out.
