Helen Dallimore

I feel privileged to be part of a team whose mission is to build kinder, fairer workplaces which realises everyone’s potential – an aspiration I am passionate about. As a Director, Head of Training, as well as delivering sessions myself, I lead a team of expert facilitators who deliver a range of workplace training sessions.

I spent 18 years working as an Employment Lawyer in private practice, including in Magic circle and international firms, as well as time on secondment to a global bank. During this time, I saw first-hand how many, potentially avoidable, people issues arose and how much resource it took to manage them. Often with no real winners but plenty of battle scars at the end. I also saw patterns of behaviour that, if addressed sooner, could have resulted in more positive outcomes for all concerned.

Experience of managing and being managed in high pressured, regulated environments also means I can empathise with the reality for clients and their people. Having worked in international organisations and lived and worked in Japan I can also appreciate how cultural differences can create nuanced challenges for businesses managing staff globally.

I have led the team’s approach on addressing class bias and have drafted and featured in a number of press articles on this. I have also worked with high profile clients on developing whistleblowing and speak up training and featured on the BBC world services programme People fixing the world,

I feel fortunate to be able to use my professional and personal experience to help clients build positive cultural changes in their workplaces and create environments where everyone feels valued and can thrive.
