About

This is the blog of Kate Russell - The HR Headmistress.

Kate’s unusual combination of legal training, line management background, and hands-on HR experience has resulted in her being an accomplished advisor and trainer in UK employment law. She is a charismatic speaker, and her brisk no-nonsense style has earned her the nickname of ‘The HR Headmistress’ (which she refers to as strategic use of spectacles and smile). It’s demonstrated by her robust, down-to-earth application of employment law, balanced against the reality of working life.

Kate is the Managing Director of the successful company Russell HR Consulting, specialists in outsourced HR Support and employment law training.
