“With employee wellbeing at the forefront, it’s no longer about the role or salary,” she tells us. “But more about how you treat people, how you work, what you stand for and the benefits that you have to offer. Counter offers and ghosting are very real challenges we now face.” With the dawn of remote working, Sam herself is very flexible. Not only does she provide a 24/7 service, but visits face-to-face with her clients regularly too, wherever they are located. And although she is still just a one-man-band right now, this is all set to change very soon. “I’m happy to go where they need me to and work with them in the way they need. Currently, it’s just me right now but I’m about to take on my first employee and I’m already planning on how to absorb them into all things McGin-Lee HR! I’m excited to bring someone in and excited to create the kind of culture I enjoy working in – friendly, ethical, loyal, customer centric and transparent.” Recently, McGin-Lee HR gained recognition in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 and was bestowed with the prestigious title of Best Nationwide HR Consultancy 2022. And, whilst it is still very early days for Sam, she has a lot coming up with regards to future developments – including attending exhibitor events, delivering seminars, networking, and collaborating and forming partnerships. “At the start of this year I promised myself that I’d be open to every opportunity – and it’s brilliant. Things I never would have said yes to even a year ago, I’m trying and I’m getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. When I started McGin-Lee HR, I just knew it was going to be a success. And this is me now!” Contact: Sam Lee Company: McGin-Lee HR Ltd Web Address: www.mcgin-leehr.co.uk Having only been established earlier in 2022, McGin-Lee HR is a young company. However, tenacious and enthusiastic Founder and Owner, Samantha Lee, is well on her way to success. We speak to her and find out more about her exciting HR journey in the wake of the firm being recognised in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2022. Seasoned HR professional, Sam Lee, has more than 20 years’ experience of working in the human resources industry. As a Chartered Member of the CIPD, she has seen, supported, or been involved in all areas of HR activities and scenarios. Now, as a consultant running her own practice, Sam prides herself in offering a no-nonsense commercial approach that is realistic and to the point. “You can trust me to know stuff, to have the answers and to come up with solutions so that you can focus on you, and both running and growing your business,” explains Sam. “I put the ‘human’ back into Human Resources. I’m the secret HR weapon that most businesses didn’t realise they needed.” Sam and her clients have one thing in common and that is that they employ people. With a range of support services available, from retainers, to packages, and from interim support to projects, her mission and values are client-centric and dedicated to helping others to succeed. “I try to bring my personality into everything I do,” she elaborates. “I have many unique experiences and skills, developed over 20+ years of working in corporate HR, in several different industries, such as hospitality and retail, regulated, manufacturing, FMCG, food industry, and charity and service. I’ve always been an HR generalist, I’m MCIPD qualified, and I have worked as a standalone, in a team, leading and developing a team, and in growing and shrinking companies to boot.” Currently, Sam is seeing a lot of new trends developing. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a lot more hybrid-working taking place within the UK, and this is something which Sam believes is very much here to stay. She has also seen an increase in recruitment, with a very candidate-driven market. Best Nationwide HR Consultancy 2022 Jul22455
