HR Consultancy

Our consultancy focus is on organisational design, development and HR related aspects of business. We bring a holistic approach that is business orientated with a people focus, whilst ensuring legislative compliance.

We can provide HR advice and guidance to support to on an ongoing basis or provide one off support for specific projects.

The choice of consultancy support will depend upon your needs, the context and the situation. We work with you to resolve your challenges at a level of intervention decided by you, from being ‘hands off’ (providing guidance and direction as issues emerge), to ‘hands on’ (developing HR processes and building HR expertise in your people).

Taking a holistic approach enables us to consider not only the specific issues at hand, but enables us to identify the wider implications of any action. This makes sure that any interventions are aligned with other policies and business processes which is vital if the project is to be successful and contribute to your organisational goals. 

Change is a key element of the HR Department and we can bring our knowledge of business change and our experience of practical implementation to your change process. We can help you in applying effective techniques and best practice to meet the challenges of successfully implementing and embedding sustainable change.

At every stage of your project, on-going dialogue and planned progress reviews ensure you are kept up to date and the delivery continues with your complete approval.

Our HR consultancy experience includes:

• Organisation Design and Structure
  We take a planned and holistic approach to any organisational design projects, considering the outputs required, governance and processes before building the structure and job requirements. We remember that the journey is as much emotional as the practical side. We include the customer in our considerations in working with you to develop a scalable, functional structure that meets the needs of everyone.
     
  
• Organisation Cultural change
  Change is a key aspect of the HR Department and we can bring our knowledge of business change and our experience of practical implementation to your change programme. We can help you in applying effective techniques and best practice to meet the challenges of successfully implementing and embedding sustainable change.
  
  
• Audit and development of Policy and Procedures
  Mistakes that breach employment rights can be costly for employers. We can help you by reviewing, amending or introducing policies and procedures that to help your meet your legal obligations through our HR Audit service. In addition to the legal aspect, auditing will  ensures that the functions are in balance and contributing collectively to the objectives of the HR department. An external perspective can help identify areas of tension and adapt best practice where it will improve the HR performance.
  
  
• Performance Management (including Disciplinary and Grievance)
  Every organisation needs to have an effective performance management system that is clearly understood and applied evenly across the business. Problems mostly arise when the performance cycle breaks down, there is an inconsistent approach between business areas and underperformance remains unchecked. We can help you review your system, achieve consistency and strengthen your progressive performance approach. We can also help in the procedures to follow when dealing with aspects of Discipline and Grievances.

• Redundancy
  This is a difficult time in any organisation, with a complex set of rules and legal requirements that we can help you with understanding and applying. We can support you with the interviews and meetings, guiding you with the words to use, the documentation needed and the processes to follow .

• Job Analysis and Evaluation
  Jobs require evaluation when they are newly introduced or significantly change from their original purpose. Two of the key challenges for managers are to recognise if they have become ‘superman’ jobs that can only be completed by the person currently filling the role and when conducting the analysis to separate the job from the person.
  
  
• Recruitment and Selection
  Getting the right people with the right skills and fit into the company is a significant factor in the strategic success of every organisation. We can help with any aspect of the process and support you through effective interviews and selection techniques.
  

• Training and Development
  Training and development supports your people and their contribution to your strategic competitive advantage. It is a key platform to build succession planning, talent management and staff engagement and importantly, achievement of your performance goals. Our experience can help you ensure your L&D activity is aligned with other internal activities and functions, and is delivered effectively within a Learning Organisation framework.
  
  
• Absence Management
  Managing absence can be a straight forward affair if the procedure is clear to all. It becomes more complex when aspects of disability and equality have to be considered. Our support provides an external objective perspective that can help you navigate to an acceptable and pragmatic conclusion.
