Haylie has an incredible breadth of skills and experience and they aren’t just lip-service, she has actually done this stuff and knows how to make it work.

She actually likes to operate at the strategic level, planning level and get her hands dirty doing the doing, and is super-capable of all three.

At Canopius, whatever topic came up she had the expertise to cover it. She doesn’t feel the need to stamp her expertise on things or try to impress people, her ego doesn’t get in the way of her being effective.

She is a deliverer, super-pragmatic and practical and tends to get things right pretty much first time. In front of senior executives she was warm, calm, professional and measured, and comes across with huge credibility.

Haylie is the most credible and knowledgeable Talent Manager I have worked with, she effortlessly combines the theoretical talent process with the ability to understand an organisations strategy and ambition to develop and execute a bespoke Talent and Engagement strategy. Haylie has experience in Talent, Engagement, L&D and Resourcing and this enables her to work collaboratively across our CoE group as well as closely supporting the Generalist team.

Haylie is a genuine champion of people, she has provided career coaching to employees which has supported them to make both horizontal and promotional moves and together we are driving an initiative to provide more internal opportunities for our CUK colleagues. I thoroughly enjoy working with Haylie, in addition to all of the above she is a great character, brings humour, fun and creativity to our team - Thank you.

Haylie is a true SME. She has deep knowledge of engagement, research and data trends and analytics. She uses this to grapple with complex data sets to draw out clear insights and conclusions and then presents them to the business with eloquence. She has a skill in taking complex data into understandable and actionable insights that unlock business continuous improvement.

Haylie builds fantastic relationships with her peers and stakeholders. She's down-to-earth, approachable, flexible and you can trust her to deliver above and beyond. Haylie played a huge role in Currys EVP project, leading on our colleague listening all-colleague survey. She's highly skilled in survey builds, insights, analysis, reporting and providing recommendations. But, what sets Haylie apart is her personal skills.

She made me feel really welcome at Currys in my first few weeks and months, always making time to help me navigate the complex. I'd highly recommend her for any future employers and I'm sad to see her go.

I worked with Haylie between April 2016 and April 2018, whilst working with her in the Carlsberg HR department. I found Haylie to be really supportive in my role as HR Business Partner to the Brewery, providing knowledge and experience to supplement my own working knowledge in the areas of employee engagement. I found that Haylie is willing to challenge the status quo, when she sees opportunities for improvement and can easily put the employee at the centre of her intentions.

I found the new initiatives and programmes that Haylie introduced easy to implement and provided a great framework for engagement within a challenging manufacturing environment.

I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Haylie again!

I’ve worked alongside Haylie on both our cultural and employee engagement programs at Carlsberg UK. She has a natural flair for communications and is able to expertly put together strategies to improve engagement levels through them. She is both strategist and educator and through her warm charisma and ability to speak to people in a language that suits them, is able to see projects from conception to completion.
