HR Consultant

Jackie Slocombe

I am very proud to have recently joined SYLO Beyond HR. as part of their HR Advisory Team.   

As an Associate Member of the CIPD, I have gained many years of experience working initially within the Legal sector before moving into the Hospitality sector.   Within the Hospitality sector, I have worked both operationally and in HR roles, with the past seven years working as the HR Manager alongside Raymond Blanc and his outstanding team at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. 

My priority has always been providing the best possible working environment for our teams, ensuring that their needs are valued and met, whilst maintaining business objectives.  As an HR Generalist, I am driven by enhancing Employee Relations and Wellbeing, whilst my Legal background enthuses me with a keen interest in policy and procedure.  

Q. What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

I am always a bit apprehensive when it comes to taking risks, but sometimes I surprise myself. Once I came across a trapeze and found that I was brave enough to give it a go.  It was short-lived, I was terrible at it, but it was extremely thrilling and a great deal of fun.   

Q. Who or what makes you laugh?

My family makes me laugh every single day and Elis James and John Robins.  

What our clients are saying

  • “

    As always, SYLO delivered a thoughtful and insightful session and I enjoyed hearing their thoughts on valuing difference in the workplace. It has helped me to be able to think about how I can encourage the people I work with to consider how effective their inclusive policies and practices are.

    We have been using Breathe over the last term to track our staff holidays. This is a great system as it highlights different cohorts of staff and when is free for others to book on the calendar. This has supported our ratio requirements and helped us to track holiday entitlements.

    We like the system so much that we have extended it to using the staffing schedules to log staff attendance and hours needed to be processed for payroll. Sharon has been so helpful in helping us set up different employees work patterns and it has been really effective for our nursery needs.

    ​I found working with SYLO incredibly comfortable.  They helped me to define the real issues and then guided me through figuring out a solution. This resulted in a huge shift in the workload I was carrying to manageable levels, greater and welcomed empowerment for the talent in my team, and a manager (mine) who was fully up to speed on what was actually going on.

    SYLO Beyond HR delivered a series of seven Manager Skills sessions for our leadership team between October 2024 and early 2025, delivered through a blend of face‑to‑face and online workshops.
    The programme covered essential topics for our managers, including Being a Role Model, Communication Skills (Parts 1 & 2), Empowering Others, Basics of HR, Techniques for Handling Difficult Situations, and Giving and Receiving Feedback.
    The training was practical, engaging, and tailored to our organisation. Our managers particularly valued the real‑world examples, the safe space created for discussion, and the actionable tools they could use immediately in their roles.
    We have already seen a positive impact in how our managers communicate, set expectations, and handle challenging situations with greater confidence.
    SYLO’s facilitators were knowledgeable, supportive, and highly engaging throughout the programme. We would happily recommend SYLO Beyond HR to any organisation looking to strengthen their management capability.

    The wonderful support from SYLO Beyond HR has enabled us to ensure our foundations are in place to support growth, whilst also maintaining and driving the culture that is important for us to have in place.  They have truly worked in partnership with us and provide consistent support to help us drive priorities forward.

    It’s great to have an HR partner that feels part of our team, is available for whenever something comes up and that continues to work with us as our organisation grows.
