Retained HR Services






Back
 As your business grows, we can help free up your time to concentrate on your core business priorities by providing HR management without you committing to employing someone full time.

Whether you need help once a week, once a month or on an ad hoc basis we have the flexibility to support you.

We can also create or modify branded policies, handbooks or induction programmes that are specific to your business needs.

I now understand the real difference between an HR Partner and someone who advises. It feels like Cath is part of the team. She's understands issues that small businesses face, whatever sector you might be in - people are people as she would say! In the short time she's been with us, she's made a huge difference; given the management team confidence to act more decisively on thorny HR issues, a programme of leadership training for our mid management plus speedy responses to queries by email and telephone. I can't recommend her highly enough.

 Independent investigations

Back
Free up your invaluable management time and allow us to independently investigate grievances, disciplinaries and Dignity at Work cases.

As well as having many years of hands-on, practical experience we are ACAS trained in investigations and will remain impartial, seek to understand all sides of the issue and speak truth to power where necessary.  Investigations will be robust but also compassionate and fair.

Management reports will be provided along with recommendations that are compatible with your policies and the law.

Insights Discovery™ & Clarity 4D training

Back
 We are also licensed practitioners and distributors for Insights Discovery ™ and Clarity 4D -  popular, simple tools which help people understand themselves, understand others and make the most of relationships that affect them in the workplace.  At the end of the workshop your team members receive a personality profile which outlines the strengths they bring to the team and which they can use as an action plan for development areas.

"Cath facilitated an introduction to Insights Discovery workshop for our HR Team.  It was interactive and fun.  There were plenty of light-bulb moments and actions to take back to the workplace to improve working relationships. We are looking forward to working with her again."


Bespoke training



Back
Whether it’s a specific development need identified by our clients or a solution agreed in partnership, we offer training to suit.  We will build flexible, bespoke workshops or courses to address your business requirements.  We specialise in a practical ‘how to’ approach alongside recognised theoretical models.  Recent workshops delivered to clients have been ‘coaching in the workplace’, ‘HR skills for line managers’, ‘how to lead people to improve performance’, ‘performance management’ and ‘managing absence’.

"Cath has delivered a number of workshops for us specialising in Principles of People management.  Delegate feedback has been consistently positive and as a result she is now delivering Coaching & Mentoring workshops for us."

Health & Safety support


Back
Both Cath and Gill are NEBOSH qualified and have a wealth of experience in different industries and environments.

Key to our approach is helping businesses work with their employees to introduce systems that people will follow, will keep people safe and are fit for purpose.  We will not recommend overly cumbersome solutions that appear to tick boxes but which in reality are resented by the workforce.

"Gill has really helped us understand that Health & Safety is not something to be feared and that the processes do not need to be complicated.  We can now focus on keeping people safe which is what it's all about."
