Vanessa Boon, who earned the CIPD Police Forum Award for HR Excellence for Derbyshire Constabulary last year, will launch her new consultancy Energise on 23 May.
Energise will offer a range of services in the field of diversity and people development.
“I am delighted to announce the launch of this new service, which will offer HR Departments a helping hand with challenging issues in diversity and career development for staff,” said Boon.
“With growing recognition of the business benefits of diversity and a shrinking labour market, retention and development of a diverse workforce has emerged as a priority for long-term business success”.
To mark the launch of Energise, there will be a free lunchtime event for HR practitioners in the Midlands from 12-2pm on 23 May including a ‘hot topics’ input.
