Kathryn Rodgers – Newcastle
Kathryn’s clients value the fact that she lives this in her business every day. Her main aim is to help small businesses to grow, to take the fear out of people management and employment law, and to provide friendly and accessible HR support with empathy and humour. She doesn’t do corporate politics or red tape. She doesn’t frighten her clients into buying with horror stories of tribunals, or make them jump through endless procedural hoops.
Kathryn brings the curiosity and expanded horizons gained during seven years as an expat in Dubai to her dealings with people in her business today. Her clients benefit from a true understanding of what makes people, well, people; and being naturally interested in what makes them tick, Kathryn will approach their problems from every perspective – legal and commercial, ethical and personal – in order to find a solution. Her client relationships don’t end on the last page of their employee handbook.
Back on home soil, in the North of England, she feels privileged to have been able to travel, work, and have fun all over the world – Malaysia, the Maldives, Hong Kong and China – but also deeply appreciative of her place in the small business community here. If you’re a growing business based in or around Newcastle and want to find out how Kathryn can help you get better people results, just click the contact button below and she’ll give you a call.

I recently appeared on the ‘Why Small Business Matters’ podcast as part of the ‘Help to grow management programme’ run by Northumbrian University, where we delved into the critical role of communication in HR. In our discussion, I highlighted the pivotal importance of effective communication strategies in fostering a positive and productive workplace culture within small businesses.
Recently, I had the pleasure of joining the ‘Business Stuff Podcast’ as a special guest. We dove deep into payroll, exchanging ideas and unearthing fresh perspectives that I believe listeners will find invaluable. If you’re curious about payroll, or looking to expand your knowledge on the common pitfalls of payroll and HR, I highly recommend giving our conversation a listen.

As a qualified mediator, Kathryn is trained to facilitate constructive communication between parties, helping them navigate conflicts and reach mutually agreeable resolutions.
