REALITY HR is a finalist in the Enlightened Employer category of The Women in Business 2015 Awards.

Run by The Business magazine, the awards recognise successful women who have excelled in their specific business and profession.

The Enlightened Employer category specifically focuses on those businesses that have shown a proactive, forward-thinking and creative approach to enabling women to realise their full potential in the workplace.

Laura Davis, managing director of HR consultancy Reality HR, based at The Manor House, in Lutyens Close, at Chineham Court, Basingstoke, is delighted with the news which, in many ways, is payback for the hard work she has put into building the company over the last 11 years.

She said: “This is excellent news for Reality HR. We have always been very committed to employing the very best talent for the business and realised very early on that many of those skills were held by Mums.

“Our Flexible Working Hour’s model has worked well for the team, the business and most importantly, our clients, who often tell us how much they appreciate being able to contact consultants at flexible times.”

The Women in Business Awards will be announced on September 10 at Oakley Hall Hotel.
