It combines Paul McGee's proven 7C employee engagement model with the HSE Stress Management Standards, bringing employee engagement, wellbeing and performance together in one simple system.

I’ve spent my career helping organisations get the very best from their people, combining practical HR expertise with a genuine understanding of what makes businesses and teams succeed.
I founded MBHR in 2012 to offer something different: straightforward, commercially focused HR support that is tailored to the organisation rather than taken from a one-size-fits-all handbook.
