About Me

PMPF Team Profile

  • Onai Muchemwa
  • Principal Consultant
  • LLM, MSc, CIPD

I am an accomplished people management professional, seasoned in complex employee relations and with special interest in people services transformation. Over the last 8 years, I worked in senior HR roles across public sector organisations and prior, I worked with one of the largest UK charity organisations in a senior service operations manager role. This unique, powerful combination not only helps me quickly understand how your respective  people matters affect your business decisions, but it also enables me to deliver  dynamic and effective solutions with empathy.

  • Employee relations
  • People services transformation
  • Process (re-) design
  • Organisation (re-) design
  • People policy
  • People strategy
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Practice delivery

I am also qualified workplace mediator (ILM accredited).

In my spare time, I enjoy reading period novels and watching period dramas, listening to smooth jazz and spending time with my godchildren. I enjoy running and when I can, I fundraise for Cancer Research UK.

I take pride in doing HR differently. Read more about me on social media:
