Employee Relations, Workplace Culture & Employee Experience Consultancy

Practical HR support for employers navigating difficult people issues, developing confident managers and building better workplaces.

Managing people isn't always straightforward.

One minute you're dealing with everyday business pressures, the next you're facing an employee grievance, a difficult conversation, a reasonable adjustment request or concerns about how your team is working together.

And when you don't have the right support in place, those situations can quickly become more complicated.

I'm Melisa Cunningham, a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD with over 20 years' experience in HR, employee relations, inclusion and employee experience.

Through Culture & Employee Experience, I help organisations understand what's happening, work through their options and find fair, practical solutions that work for both the business and its people.

Whether you need specialist support with a difficult situation or want to strengthen your workplace culture, you don't have to work it out alone.

The impact of working with me

My work helps organisations move from reactive people management to more confident, inclusive and proactive workplace practice.

This can support stronger leadership capability, improved employee relations, greater trust, better engagement, reduced risk and a more positive employee experience.

The result is a workplace culture that not only supports people, but also strengthens organisational performance.
