Interests and expertise
My research focuses on how to create good work and employment. In particular, I research:
How to create high quality employment in the adult social care sector, leading a learning lab on this within the ESRC Good Employment Learning Lab (https://www.mmu.ac.uk/business-school/research/tgell/)
How to improve work quality by improving gender equality researching for example, gender pay gaps and menopause in the workplace
How to create high quality employment in small and medium sized enterprises, having led a number of projects around this
Impact
My research is highly impactful and underpinned a REF2021 impact case study demonstrating how Welsh Government changed legislation on care worker employment as a result of our research (https://www.mmu.ac.uk/business-school/research/real-world-impact/inform…).
The gender pay gap research informed a report for the Department of Health and Social Care (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uplo…) which has, amongst other things, changed the way that Clinical Excellence Awards are made to make them fairer to those who work part-time, often women.
Our small firm research has been instrumental in the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development establishing its People Skills Hub to support small firms in their HR practice (https://peopleskillshub.cipd.co.uk/#gref).
Teaching
I teach performance management and research methods to UG and PG students.
I supervise PhD students in the areas of employment quality (particularly in small firms and adult social care) and gender and careers (particularly older workers and menopause in the workplace).
Supervision
I supervise a number of PhD students and am open to working with others who share my research interests in creating high quality employment.
Research outputs
I am well-published in high quality journals in the areas outlined above.
