Emma works within our HR team and is dedicated to attracting, developing and retaining top talent at JCP. Emma graduated from Cardiff University with a degree in Criminology and Sociology, where her passion for working with people first began. Joining the business in 2007, Emma worked within the Residential Property team and progressed to a Business Development role. After a decade of honing her skills, she made the strategic decision to move to the HR team to pursue a rewarding career in managing and developing people.
Today, Emma is a key member of the HR team, focusing on talent management and bringing the best people into the business and then supporting their growth and development. Emma’s responsibilities extend beyond recruitment and development as she handles a range of generalist HR responsibilities including running payroll, training and development, administering benefit schemes, assisting with employee relations and health and safety. Enhancing employee experience is important to Emma and she chairs the #TeamJCP Community Group, ensuring the employee voice is heard. Emma is also a Mental Health Champion and Mental Health First Aider at JCP and is deeply committed to ending the stigma around mental health in the workplace and supporting colleagues.
Emma also has strong links with educational institutions across Wales, delivering workshops and presentations to schools, colleges and universities, inspiring future generations to reach their career goals and ensuring they are making informed choices.
In her spare time, you can find Emma spending time with her family, unwinding doing yoga on the beach or training in her local gym.
