Aidan is a seasoned HR
professional, with around ten years' specialist reward experience, following
a comprehensive generalist grounding. Aidan was quoted at length in
“People Management” (25th February 2010), discussing the benefits
and drawbacks of working as an interim reward manager. The following link

Crossey quoted in People Management, 25th February 2010. Operating as Pay The Reckoning
Limited, Aidan has successfully completed projects for the following clients: NICE (the National Institute for Health
and Clinical Excellence). Here, Aidan advised
the Chief Executive and other senior managers on a significant organisational
change when NICE took over responsibility for the testing of medical devices
from the Department of Health. This included developing a terms and
conditions standardisation policy, negotiating the finer details of this with
“opposite numbers” in the Department of Health and making presentations to
the Department of Health and NICE employees on whom the change would impact. Having successfully managed this
project, Aidan was asked by NICE to assist with a more complex piece of work
in 2010/2011. Around 30
contracts, which had been let to around 25 external providers
were due for renewal. NICE had
decided to carry out the functions of around a third of these contracts
in-house and to re-let the remainder as a single external contract. Aidan worked with senior management
in NICE, with current providers and with the incoming external provider to
ensure that all aspects of the TUPE process were handled effectively. London Borough of Greenwich. Here Aidan worked with
the HR Director and the senior HR team to develop a strategy for saving in
the region of £10M through adopting a more flexible approach to managing
terms and conditions. National Offender Management Strategy
(NOMS, part of the Ministry of Justice). Here, Aidan worked with the senior HR
and finance team to carry out a review of salaries across the HR Shared
Service Centre. The client was
expecting to secure significant additional business and wished to ensure that
its reward policies remained fit for purpose in the context of the new
organisational structures which would emerge. London Borough of Barnet. Here, Aidan performed an interim Reward Manager role while Barnet
Council restructured its HR department and prepared to recruit a permanent
Reward Manager. Key achievements included reviewing the way in which senior
managers' salaries were benchmarked and subsequently managed, working with
managers in the Environment Directorate to restructure pay (reducing
ancillary/overtime payments), working with managers in the Children's Social
Care department to develop proposals for increasing salaries in light of a
very challenging labour market, reviewing the current policy on company car
provision and finalising the implementation of a flexible benefits programme. Ministry of Justice. Here, Aidan assisted with some complex business restructuring,
providing advice and assisting with the negotiations with Trade Unions and
staff. The restructuring included the proposed creation of a new Northern
Ireland Office, the creation of the Supreme Court and transfers of staff in
the Boundary Commission from the Office of National Statistics to the
Ministry of Justice. In addition, Aidan played a key role in introducing new
mileage rates across the Ministry, as well as publishing a guide for managers
on operating the Ministry's pay systems. Before “going solo”, Aidan held a
number of compensation and benefit roles, with Alfred McAlpine
Business Services (2006-2008), Edexcel Limited (2002-2005), Royal College of Nursing (2001-2002), London
Borough of Lewisham (1999-2001) and Mencap (1998-1999). The generalist element of his career was gained in the BBC (1988-1997), where he worked his way through the HR ranks, eventually
becoming Head of Personnel for BBC Education in
1995. Although Aidan's “major” has for many
years been compensation and benefits, he has continued to keep abreast of
developments in HR generally and would be interested in discussing ways in
which Pay The Reckoning Limited can work with your company to add value. June 2011 |
