About Ruth Martey
With a background in law, business and organisational development, I bring over 10 years of experience helping organisations improve retention, build stronger cultures and develop leaders. I was recruited into the NHS specifically to tackle high staff turnover across a large trust, and that experience is the foundation of everything I do today.
Retention isn't just about keeping people. It's about creating the conditions where people choose to stay, grow and thrive.
