Introduction

About me

"People aren't just resources. They're the reason organisations succeed or fail."

That belief is what drew me to HR — and it's what drives everything I do. I recently completed my MSc in International Human Resource Management at the University of Portsmouth (CIPD-accredited), building a deep foundation in talent acquisition, performance management, organisational behaviour, and employment law.

But here's what sets me apart from most HR graduates: I've actually managed people. As Store Manager at RAMCO SA, I lived the concepts before studying them — designing training that raised performance scores by 15%, implementing a PM system that boosted satisfaction by 20%, and cutting turnover by 10%.

Now interning at GAOTek Inc., gaining hands-on experience in end-to-end recruitment — from sourcing and headhunting to screening, interviewing, and candidate management.

High-Performance Work Systems & Organisational Performance in UK Manufacturing SMEs: A Systematic Review (2015–2024)

Systematic Literature Review 10,000 Words 15 Reviewed Sources Submitted Mar 2025

Investigates how High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) influence organisational performance in UK manufacturing SMEs. A Systematic Literature Review of 15 studies (2015–2024) explores three themes: employee motivation, performance outcomes (innovation & resilience), and barriers to adoption.


Key finding: HPWS implemented as bundled systems significantly enhance engagement, innovation, and adaptability — with structured onboarding and continuous feedback loops correlated with up to 23% higher employee retention in multinational firms.

01
Employee Motivation
Affective commitment as strongest mediator (b = 0.617, p < 0.001) between HPWS & performance.
02
Performance Outcomes
Digital tools amplify HPWS; resilience (bounce-back & bounce-forward) as key mediating outcome.
03
Barriers to Adoption
Low budgets, weak digital literacy, and cultural resistance limit SME implementation.

Google's Approach to Ethics and Sustainability: The Strategic Role of HR in Embedding Responsible Business Practices

Business Ethics CSR Analysis HR Strategy Submitted Jan 2025

Critically evaluates Google's ethical and sustainability practices across four domains — environmental sustainability, ethical sourcing, governance, and AI ethics — drawing on Google's 2024 Environmental Report, 2023 Supplier Responsibility Report, and Statement Against Modern Slavery.


Argues that HR plays a strategic role in embedding responsible business culture through ethical leadership development, workforce training, supply chain oversight, whistleblower protections, and technology-enabled accountability — applying frameworks including Stakeholder Theory, Transformational Leadership, and Self-Determination Theory.

01
Environmental
Net-zero by 2030 ambition; gaps in Scope 3 reporting and circular economy approach.
02
Ethical Sourcing
Supplier Code of Conduct + audits; need for stronger root-cause & human rights due diligence.
03
AI Governance
AI Principles (2018); tension between public values and internal whistleblower handling.
04
HR's Role
Ethical leadership, KPI tracking, supply chain oversight & psychological safety as strategic levers.
