Consulting
We provide bespoke consulting support, working with organisations, HR teams and senior leaders navigating people challenges, change and complexity, enabling them to achieve their people strategies and business objectives with care.
HR Support Consultancy
We provide dedicated HR Support Consultancy for the HR department, because it can be really tricky to navigate parts of the employee lifecycle when you are part of HR and of course an employee too. This is one of the reasons why HR FOR HR was created.
We answer the questions we hear far too often which is ‘who looks after HR?’.
We look after HR, we provide HR with the same support and care that we in HR provide to others. This may be supporting a member of HR who is going through a disciplinary, a grievance, who are returning to work from an absence of any kind, have a performance concern, want to be promotion ready, or perhaps are at risk of redundancy themselves while managing the process for the business.
We understand the realities of HR and business because we have lived it.
We know HR is often the first function to be blamed and the last to be supported, particularly during periods of change, pressure or uncertainty.
Business Consulting
Our business consulting services are tailored to each one of our clients, no two businesses, leadership teams, business owners, teams, the purpose and values of a business are the same.
We help businesses who want to transform their culture, what to understand the impact of change, or prepare for change but aren’t necessarily clear on how or where to start. We calm any chaos or confusion with care and without judgement.
We are not here to impose solutions or deliver generic answers.
We work in partnership with you as a critical friend - offering calm challenge, clarity and perspective when decisions matter.
We support organisations through change, growth and transition, ensuring people remain at the heart of decision-making, and that change is implemented with care rather than speed alone.
Over the years we have found that our clients have some common beliefs and desires…
Genuinely get that the people in the business are the business
Understand the need to have a whole human approach – think humans not resources
Know that tick boxes and papering over cracks do not work when it comes to people, culture and engagement
That a commitment must be created and demonstrated from the top
That believe that change takes courage, vulnerability and transparent communication
Want to create a business with purpose, with impact and with values that are truly lived every day
Are really ready for change and are open to creating new possibilities
Really willing to put their money where their mouth is – investing in long term sustainability for everyone, not just profit and bottom line focussed
We specialise in the excavation of your aspirations, the ideas, nuggets and thoughts that are usually swirling around in your head. That might sound a bit painful but with our down to earth approach we ensure this process is exciting and we use your strengths to get the best results for you.
We use the outputs of these deep dive exercises to uncover the pathway that will allow realistic and authentic changes to be made for your employees and business to thrive, have continuing success and to have the toolkit to navigate the natural bumps in the road.
We use our 4 part process – Reflect, Reset, Reignite and Relaunch as a roadmap, imagine us providing you and your business with bowling alley bumpers, keeping you on track, but giving flexibility and spaciousness while you gain momentum, and the bumpers are removed 😊
Our person centered approach is at the heart of everything we do, it is filled with honesty, passion and care and because of this, provides genuine results.
We discover what makes a ‘well being’ in your business, considering physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wealth – nope it’s not a typo 😊
We reflect, reset and reignite the candidate experience right through to the employee journey
We explore how your business can encourage, develop and implement personal as well as the typical professional development
We focus on the lifestyle contract not just the contract of employment
We know the power of personalisation and intimacy – these provide joy and are typically the missing links in many teams, relationships and business
We embed respect, standards and expectation management ensuring relationships, regardless of any hierarchy, are healthy
We ensure that feedback, follow up and after care are
We believe in blending rather than balancing, because balancing suggests opposition, one side going up, the other going down. When (if!) ‘balance’ is achieved it requires an abundance of stamina and energy to maintain its stability – which isn’t realistic when it comes to people and business.
Blending creates the space for authenticity and fulfilment on a continuous basis, it allows for different elements to be added or take away without being knocked off balance.
We also believe in courageous, meaningful conversations not difficult ones – if a conversation is labelled as difficult before its even started, guess what?.... It will be difficult. Our language and how we use it is very powerful and can be the springboard for success.
