About

It's a People Business is a one-woman HR consultancy run by Dianne Stewart, a Chartered CIPD professional based in Aberdeen who came to HR after a stint as a Glasgow police officer. She works with startups and SMEs that need HR expertise on demand — from writing their first employment contract to managing a redundancy process.
