HR and talent expert, Kevin Green, holds the key to high-performance employees. He advises organisations on the workplace culture essential for retaining industry experts, and how to improve the performance of a pre-existing team. From years of experience, Kevin understands the importance of a business' employees, as they are the backbone of its success. Due to this driving force, he is commonly booked for industry events, where he offers actionable strategies for corporate audiences wishing to hone their employee's skill set.
In 1998, Kevin owned and managed a Human Resource consultancy firm named Qtab ltd. He worked with such prestigious clients as First Choice and BAE Systems, revolutionising their workplace culture through people-focused strategies. In 2003, Kevin moved to Royal Mail, where he worked as their Human Resources Director for five years. In the role, he was credited for the company's turnover of £6.5 billion, thanks to 165,000 motivated, talented employees. Kevin negotiated pay, led teams and developed learning incentives that encouraged employees to go above and beyond. As a speaker, he invites audiences to implement the same company-defining techniques that caused the positive turnaround.
For nearly a decade, Kevin was CEO of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation. The organisation ensured the standard of recruitment in the UK, pioneering the £32.2 billion industry. Credited to Kevin's positive influence on the company, the Recruitment & Employment Confederation was presented with over 20 industry awards thanks to his work, including Trade Association of the Year and Trade Association Leader of the Year. An event featuring Kevin benefits from an award-winning insight.
During the 2010s, he enjoyed advisory roles with the World Employment Confederation, Affinity Workforce, Good Recruitment Campaign and National Skills Academy for Financial Services. In 2018, Kevin founded What's Next Consultancy, a service that focuses on people, recruitment and technology to grow their client's business.
