Background

About Kath Albiston

Head of Talent | Passionate about People, Culture, and Authentic Leadership As a seasoned HR leader, I bring a hands-on approach to attracting and onboarding top talent, shaping career pathways, and fostering employee growth—all while keeping a commercial edge. With experience as Head of Talent, People Development Director and an HR & Engagement Manager, I’ve led initiatives in telecoms, healthcare, and construction that blend strategic organisational redesign with a practical focus on employee engagement and satisfaction. I believe that company culture is more than just a buzzword; it’s the foundation for success. My passion lies in building cultures that empower teams, encouraging authentic conversations, and making sure people feel valued and supported. From leadership development to training and talent strategy, I thrive on seeing employees grow and succeed. With a reputation for being approachable, upbeat, and savvy, I’m not afraid to be compassionate and honest. I’m committed to an “employees-first” approach that champions honesty, transparency, and the genuine growth of each individual.
