HRM Hot Topics Series: Alison Abu

Kingston Business School proudly presents the HRM Hot Topics Series, an opportunity for practitioners in Human Resource Management (HRM), alumni, students and academics to come together to discuss current thinking and share experiences of applying HRM strategy in practice.

In this series, you will meet leading HRM specialists, from different sectors, from aviation, health, technology, financial services, etc. They will discuss their background (many of whom started their HRM journey at Kingston University), and their own perspective of applying HRM strategy in practice, including sector trends, key topics and challenges.

The sessions are interactive, including audience Q&A, followed by refreshments and networking.

This session we welcome Alison Abu, Panel Chair for the Judicial Appointments Commission. After graduating from Kingston with a Masters in Human Resource Management, Alison started her career as a Graduate Trainee in Insurance and Banking in the City of London, before moving into an HR consultancy with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). While working at PwC, she led corporate projects transforming recruitment, performance management, policy development, and reward structures.

In more recent roles, she assisted the Royal Families, government ministers and governments in the Middle East to set up the HR infrastructure in newly established organisations to establish and enhance HR policies, procedures, and people in a number of organisations in Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.

As well as working as a panel chair with the Judicial Appointments Commission, she works for the Mayor Office for Policing and Crime as a panel member and leads charity missions to Africa and Asia supporting rural communities.

The session is entitled International Human Resource Management: Preparing Expatriates for International Assignments.
