Conducting Investigations

Most managers at some stage will encounter a situation where an investigation is required within their team.

This might be because of allegations of misconduct which may result in disciplinary action, or it may be because a grievance or bullying and harassment complaint is received and the allegations require investigation.

Organisational design and restructuring

Are your people structures fit for purpose?

Or are they getting in the way of delivering your business objectives?

Like most businesses, your structure has probably grown organically but perhaps you recognise the time is right to have a rethink.

Our expert team can help you take a fresh look at your people structure and realign them with your strategic aims.

This could mean reorganising roles or even reducing them.

Our expert team will navigate both legal and people challenges to achieve your business aims.

Engagement and culture change

Do your employees’ personal goals align with the vision and objectives of your business?

When your staff are engaged you will benefit from increased motivation, productivity and better retention.

Solutions for HR experts can help you identify what is going to engage your employees through innovative communication and consultation frameworks.

There are a variety of strategies incorporating areas such as wellbeing, diversity, work life balance, training and development and recognition and reward.

Leadership and talent development

For your business to grow you will need skilled and talented people who support its growth ambitions.

The question is, how do you know what you need and how do you ensure your staff have the right skills?

It’s often hard for business owners and senior leaders to identify who has the talent within their business – making growth and succession planning difficult.

Solutions for HR experts can help you identify your needs, and then spot and nurture talent using a variety of tools and techniques.

Our approach will help you identify who within your business has the ability, engagement and aspiration to grow.

With our career development plans and succession planning tools, we will work with you to develop that talent.

We can also show you where your gaps are and create a plan to recruit and fill those positions internally or externally.

Pay and grading

Do you have inconsistencies in pay structure, claims of unfairness or a limited pay progression path?

It’s probably time to review your remuneration practice to achieve a transparent and consistent pay structure to define progression points according to comparable responsibilities.

Our expert team can develop a job evaluation framework and conduct a market pricing exercise to recommend a pay and grading structure that suits your business to ensure that pay rates and benefits remain both internally equitable and externally competitive.

Employee benefits

Employee benefits help attract and retain employees and contribute towards improving employee well-being and engagement

You want to appeal to the best talent and then retain them and to do this you must be attractive in the marketplace.

It helps to have some benefits that set you apart from the rest.

Offering diverse benefits demonstrates that you are successful, stable and willing to invest in your employees. Employees who feel valued will stick around for the long haul and will perform better as they will feel respected and cared for.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing is the current hot topic and health and wellbeing activities provide a range of positive outcomes including better employee morale, a healthier and more inclusive culture and lower sickness absence.

Solutions for HR are experts in developing a holistic wellbeing strategy to help reduce absence, boost performance, improve mental health and stress and strengthen employer and employee relationships.

Focusing on employee well-being isn’t just a “nice-to-have” it’s a strategic imperative that drives success.
