Jenna Engmann, founder of Labyrinth HR
10years at Arcadis

I know construction from the inside

My HR career began at Arcadis (formerly EC Harris LLP), the global built asset consultancy. Over ten years there I built the foundations of everything I do today: partnering senior leaders through growth and restructuring, handling complex employee relations and leading delivery of the firm's engagement plans.

20years in partner-led firms

I understand how owners run their businesses

From built asset consultancy to law and Big Four professional services, I've spent most of my career inside partner-led firms. I know how owners make decisions, how to earn their trust and that HR works best when it is aligned to business priorities. Whether you run a partnership or a growing start-up, you get senior expertise when you need it, scaled to the work in hand.

9+years in lead roles

I get things done

From Head of HR to Lead HRBP and Transformation Delivery Lead, I lead people projects from inception to implementation, with risk carefully managed and budgets kept firmly under control.
