Frank has accumulated a wealth of experience with over 25 years working in the HR area. He advises companies on employment legislation, dispute resolution and on best practice in the management of people. Frank began work in this area in 2000, in his role as an IR/HR Executive with the Irish Business & Employers Federation (IBEC). There he advised companies across all business sectors on issues that they faced daily in the management of people. He continues this work to the present day; helping companies resolve workplace issues, while also representing them where cases are referred against the company to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
Frank believes that our role in supporting client businesses is to make sure that they are employment law compliant and that they have the necessary documentation and policies in place to allow them to address employment issues quickly and effectively. Also, that we are there to advise, support and guide them through those same issues.
Frank is strongly supportive of people development. He has a teaching degree from the University of Limerick, and an MSc in Training and Performance Management from Leicester University. He has delivered public courses for IBEC in HR Management and Employment Law, and has also lectured in business at Dublin City University and the National College of Ireland.
Prior to his move into the business sphere, Frank served as an Officer in the Irish Defence Forces, working at the highest levels of that organisation in Ireland, while also undertaking overseas assignments with the United Nations in Lebanon and Bosnia.
