Jannine Smith - Senior Consulting Manager

Jannine Smith's Profile Picture

I am a highly experienced Reward and HR professional who helps organisations solve complex reward challenges and unlock business performance. With over 30 years' combined experience—including 10+ years leading Reward, Benefits, Wellness, and Recognition—my strength is in partnering with businesses to design solutions that drive engagement, retention, and measurable results.

My style is about partnering and enabling, whether with start-ups or large corporates, in the UK, EMEA and globally, particularly in tech, education, retail, and hospitality, I have a proven track record of navigating fast-paced change, diagnosing root causes, and delivering practical, high-impact reward solutions aligned to business goals.

I use data, insight, and commercial understanding to simplify complex reward challenges—creating tailored, cost-effective strategies that motivate employees and deliver real value. Whether improving attraction, addressing retention risks, enhancing employee experience, or aligning reward to performance, I focus on solutions that work in the real world.

I am also a subject matter expert in Benefits and I have worked with many organisations to bring commercial resolutions to strategic and operational benefit challenges.

Passionate about making a difference, I help organisations build reward and engagement approaches that not only attract and retain talent but also create a more performance driven, engaged workforce.
