About Unity People

I am Claudia Lee, Founder of Unity People, a consultancy dedicated to supporting UK businesses with HR, Health & Safety and wellbeing services. With over two decades of experience leading people strategy, compliance and training across healthcare and corporate sectors, I bring a rare blend of professional rigour and human-centred care to every project.

My career journey has included senior leadership roles, most notably serving as Director of HR and Health & Safety at Optimax Eye Surgery Specialists, where I guided the people strategy for nearly twenty years. Today, through Unity People, I partner with organisations to create safe, inclusive and thriving workplaces—balancing compliance with compassion and strategy with practical impact.

My work is rooted in values of accessibility, inclusivity and belonging. Whether I am designing a policy, implementing corporate strategy, delivering training or curating a wellbeing workshop, my approach reflects a deep commitment to helping individuals and organisations feel safe, supported and inspired.

Beyond consultancy, I am Co-Founder of Unity Retreats, where I curate holistic workshops and events that weave together movement, art, singing and sound. These retreats embody my belief in the power of thoughtfully designed spaces to foster calm, creativity and connection. As a Natural Voice Leader and active member of the Singing for Health Network, I integrate voice, movement and community into my wellbeing practices.

How I can help you and your business

If you’re looking for ad‑hoc HR advice, want to refresh your wellbeing strategy or need consistent HR leadership without the costs of a permanent hire, I can help.

I offer flexible support tailored to your organisation’s needs:

One‑off projects – whether it’s designing a new policy, delivering training, writing your annual H&S report, conducting your employee satisfaction surveys or tackling any other specific challenge.
Policy and process reviews – ensuring your HR and H&S practices are compliant, effective and aligned with your values.
Retainer support – providing ongoing, strategic HR, H&S and wellbeing guidance so you have a trusted partner by your side.

My approach blends compliance expertise with human‑centred care, helping you create safe, inclusive and thriving workplaces. Whether you need short‑term input or long‑term partnership, I’ll work with you to balance strategy with practical impact.

The Unity Vision

I believe that every workplace has the power to be both safe and inspiring. My vision is to create environments where compliance and care go hand in hand—where businesses not only meet their legal responsibilities but also nurture the wellbeing, growth and belonging of every individual.

I see a future where:

Health & Safety is not a tick-box exercise, but a culture of trust and protection.
HR practices are people-first, balancing fairness, inclusivity and strategic impact.
Wellbeing is woven into the fabric of daily work, supporting resilience, creativity and connection.

I founded Unity People to help organisations move beyond minimum standards, towards workplaces that feel human, supportive and sustainable. By blending professional expertise with warmth and creativity, I aim to empower leaders and teams to thrive—building communities where compliance is effortless and people feel truly valued.

I believe that meaningful change happens when we come together. My consultancy services and workshops thrive on collaboration—with professionals who share a passion for wellbeing, inclusivity and personal connection.

I welcome:

Wellbeing professionals such as Wellbeing Officers and Specialists working within corporate organisations.

Training facilitators and educators who bring fresh ideas and accessible practices.
Corporate partners who want to co-create events that inspire growth and belonging.
