Our HR FOR HR consulting services provide an extension to your existing HR department, whether this is short term to support a resourcing gap or for long term collaboration and project work
HR Project Management – sourcing and implementing HRIS, OD, upgrading/change programmes, performance management, engagement, culture, leadership and management development, policy and process realignment, recruitment and onboarding
Providing an external perspective – this can be general guidance and troubleshooting, supporting investigations and anything in between. Providing a different lens or an alternative perspective can be invaluable
Supply specific expertise – For smaller HR teams a need may arise in the business that the current team may not be as experienced within. We work together to develop HR/people strategies, leadership, wellbeing, culture, engagement, values and more
HR Audit – providing an overhaul of the service/function of HR, not just looking at the typical outputs such as value and risk, but also considering growth, change, culture and the ‘health’ of the HR department. A full report and feedback is provided as you would expect highlighting the areas that are red, amber, green, however, we but with realistic and achievable
Supporting standalone HR professionals - when the business is ready to grow to a level where a larger people function is required is one of our specialisms. Using a combined coaching and consulting approach we work side by side to ensure that HR is at the core of the business. Think of us as your very own cheerleader 😊
Training, coaching and mentoring HR professionals – we work collaboratively with our clients, we pass on our knowledge, tools and expertise so your HR professionals get to grow and develop in areas they may not have been exposed to, over time this removes the reliance on external consultants like us 😊.
Workplace Mediation – providing workplace mediation support to help the resolutions to workplace disputes and conflict and facilitate the rebuilding of employee relations at al levels.
We also provide HR support 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.
If a member of HR is going through a disciplinary, a grievance, are returning to work from an absence of any kind, have a performance concern, want to be promotion ready, are at risk of redundancy
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 different.
We love helping business owners that are experiencing or anticipating accelerated growth and want to get the foundations and the basics right. Business owners who know how crucial this is and have usually seen how easily these core pillars are overlooked.
We help businesses who want to transform their culture but aren’t necessarily clear on how or where to start. We calm any chaos or confusion with care and without judgement.
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.
