About Anna Jones – Harestone HR 
Anna works with leaders across organisations to build environments where people can have fun, feel valued, and achieve outstanding results.
The world of work has changed. As an experienced HR professional and occupational psychologist, she has seen first-hand that what colleagues want today is very different from ten years ago.
Flexibility, belonging, and purpose are key. That means rethinking how we work, embracing diversity in every sense, and creating cultures where everyone feels they belong — not just included. This isn’t only the right thing to do; it also increases creativity, engagement, and business success.
With experience at Board level and a career spanning start-ups, scaling businesses and established organisations, Anna brings both operational and strategic insight. She knows how to help companies grow without losing what makes their culture special. Her focus is on proactive people strategy because reactive HR is costly, time-consuming, and erodes trust.
Anna has a Master’s in Occupational and Business Psychology, hold a CMI Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership and is a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD.
Anna’s approach is clear, practical, and human. She believes HR should be easy to understand and make a real difference. From strategic planning to leadership and management development programmes, Anna designs solutions that are creative, engaging and, most importantly, effective.
