What we do

You will get a dedicated HR Consultant who will work directly within your business to develop and  support you and your people.

Your In-House People & Culture Manager

We provide a tailored HR solution where we position ourselves within your business for designated hours every week.  This setup provides your team with direct, on-site access to expert guidance and assistance regarding all aspects of people and culture.

By being physically present on-site, we can proactively address issues, offer strategic insights, and facilitate effective communication, ultimately contributing to a more cohesive and productive work environment.

People & Culture Strategy

In the initial phase of our collaboration, we carry out a client discovery session. This allows us to gather essential insights into the current HR dynamics and understand your priorities. The outcomes from these discovery phases allows us to craft a bespoke HR strategy that aligns with your business goals and prioritise key focus areas.

Our partnership approach ensures the HR strategy we develop addresses both the immediate and long-term needs of your business.

Remuneration & Benefits

We collaborate with you to refine your remuneration and benefits approach, ensuring they're competitive and reflect your company's mission. By leveraging market insights, we craft strategies that attract and retain talent while maintaining financial viability.

Our role extends to effectively communicating these benefits to your people, emphasising their value in supporting both professional and personal growth. This approach boosts employee satisfaction and positions your company as a preferred employer.

Engagement / Culture Surveys

Our employee engagement survey process starts with a custom-designed survey to gather meaningful feedback from your staff.  We then analyse this data to identify the levels of engagement and satisfaction, leading to a strategic action plan developed in collaborative workshops with your key stakeholders. This plan is focused on addressing the insights gained and creating an action plan based on areas of priority from your survey.

In the second phase, we support the design and implementation of HR initiatives identified in the action plan to enhance engagement further. Continuous feedback is gained through ongoing Pulse Surveys, allowing us to monitor engagement metrics closely and make timely adjustments.

Organisational Design

We partner with our clients to identify key talent needs and develop strategies to attract, retain, and develop the right people. Our approach includes performance management, leadership development, and succession planning, all tailored to enhance your team's capabilities and readiness for future challenges.

Our support extends beyond strategy development; we also provide practical tools and guidance for implementing effective talent management practices. This includes creating engaging employee development programs and establishing clear career paths that motivate and retain high performers.

Wellbeing Initiatives

We assist in crafting and implementing comprehensive wellbeing initiatives that address the physical, mental, and emotional health of your workforce. By conducting thorough needs assessments, we identify specific areas where support is most needed, creating tailored programs that promote a healthy work-life balance, stress management, and overall employee wellness.

Our services range from developing wellness workshops and fitness challenges to offering resources for mental health support. We aim to foster a supportive environment where your people feel valued and have access to the tools they need to maintain their wellbeing.

Recruitment Support

Our recruitment support services are designed to streamline the hiring process for you, ensuring you are positioned to attract and retain the best talent for your business.

We offer a comprehensive suite of services, including job description development, writing & placing job adverts, screening candidates, conducting initial interviews, and facilitating the final hiring steps.  We then support your onboarding process to integrate your new employee into your business.
