Hood People Solutions is an HR and people management consultancy founded by Mike Hood who has over 20 years’ experience as an HR Director in the UK and internationally. We provide retained HR support and HR project delivery for business seeking to improve HR value and impact.

Mike has helped organizations build and implement people strategies that engage and inspire people and improve business performance across multiple sectors in the UK and internationally. Mike’s passion is helping organizations to think more strategically about HR and unlock the potential of their people to improve business performance.

Mike’s experience is that, irrespective of organizational size and sector, the fundamentals of great people management are the same for any organization. It starts with ensuring that people management priorities and practices are aligned with and enable the organization’s business strategy. The second differentiator is ensuring that people management practices complement one another in offering an engaging employee experience that will attract and retain the people that the organization needs to implement its strategy. Finally, it’s critical that people managers are equipped to and held accountable for delivering the people management practices to bring to life that employee experience for every colleague, every day.

Mike also has deep experience in managing employee relations in both unionised and non-union workplaces, helping organizations recognise and mitigate employee relations risks and both stay connected with their people and build effective relationships with recognised trade unions at local and national level.
