BETSY KOLKEA
What do my clients say?
I would recommend Betsy to anyone looking for a highly professional, naturally inclusive and experienced HR professional. She was with Oxfam for a few months conducting a high level review of our HR practice across a number of teams and provided us with valuable insights and suggestions into our HR practice and work. Oxfam is a complex organisation, and Betsy was able to quickly get to the core of our HR practice working effectively and well across the teams.
Tina Proudlock, Chief Operating Officer, Oxfam
Our team are absolutely core to what we do and who we are at Jersey Road PR. We've grown extensively over the past couple of years and in doing so we realised that we needed to source external guidance and support when it came to all things HR. Working with Betsy has been an amazing journey. She not only helps us navigate the day to day issues, but she also helps us tremendously with recruitment and employee development. She has the ability to capture the essence of a problem with such clarity; her commercial and practical thinking balanced with her sensitivity and understanding is second to none. Betsy's contribution to our agency has been invaluable, she is a fantastic addition to our team.

"When appointed Interim Head of HR Operations, I needed a consultant who could work in partnership and identify how to revitalise Operations to support our global workforce in over 75 countries. After an extensive search, we appointed Betsy. Her remit was to help transform HR Operations to become more proactive and customer centric.
Betsy's impact was immediate. She challenged the status quo with fresh outside perspective and best practice. She quickly identified the challenges in HR Operations and interviewed key customers and clients to understand pain points. Betsy has brough so much value in how to use data, reporting and feedback to improve our client proposition. Betsy's knowledge of identifying 'change resistors' meant we engaged with the right people at the right time. The final product was a roadmap and implementation plan and we extended her contract to continue with us on our journey of implementing this as we transform people's experience of HR Operations."
Karen Coleman, Head of HR Operations, Plan International
"My coaching with Betsy was insightful, thought-provoking, a space to stop, think and process about where I want to go next and why. She helped me in developing a clearer understanding of my strengths based on Gallup's Clifton Strengths tool."
