Lynsey Willis

I am part of our HR Advisory team and have been involved with SYLO | Beyond HR. since 2018.

With Chartered Member CIPD status, I have over 22 years’ experience working in all aspects of generalist HR support, HR Business Partnering and Talent/Performance Management, in the UK and globally for both large corporates and smaller organisations which include Telefonica/O2, BAT, HSBC and Fujitsu Services. I partner and engage with my clients and their businesses to effectively design and implement people projects and solutions. I am recognised for my responsiveness, pragmatism and logical approach.

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

A. In 2006 I climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I’m sure I was very safe but had to overcome my fear of heights!

Q. Who or what makes you laugh?

A. My energetic and noisy 5-year old son who I think it’s fair to say is living his ‘best life’!

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.

  • Sarah allows our business to concentrate on the jobs we set out to do, and not have to worry about the HR input, with a highly professional service that she provides.

  • Thanks to Jilli Broadhurst from SYLO | Beyond HR for visiting the Richardsons’ office last week for a CPD session with the team.

    She led the Richardsons team in a session that covered adapting their communications approach to have the best possible interactions with colleagues, peers and clients.

    The session also covered other key skills such as tactics for providing constructive feedback and effectively delegating.

    Here at Richardsons, we’re proud to be an experienced training firm – and an important part of that commitment is offering our team these kinds of opportunities to learn the skills they need to grow their careers and better support our clients.

    Thanks again to Jilli and SYLO HR!

    Jemima King, Partner, Richardsons
