WILFRIED ADAMS FONKOU DINESSO

HR Assistant
Manchester,,United Kingdom

Summary

Friendly and dependable HR professional with over 3 years' experience in recruitment, employee relations, and training coordination across international settings. I first discovered my passion for HR while helping a new colleague feel welcomed and supported during their first month — seeing the impact of small actions on someone's confidence stayed with me. Since then, I've grown into a capable HR generalist, known for my people-first approach, adaptability, and strong communication. I'm now looking for an HR Assistant or administrative role in Manchester, where I can contribute to a team that values both efficiency and empathy.

  • Facilitated quarterly training sessions that improved employee engagement scores by 15%.
  • Collaborated with line managers to implement performance evaluation cycles and address underperformance constructively.
