Redundancy and company restructuring involves a series of legislative hurdles and minefields and as well as impacting directly upon individuals, it can affect the performance of the employees who you are depending upon to move the organisation forward. We’ll help you steer through both the legislation and people issues connected with change and we’ll ensure that this difficult procedure is carried out legally with the best decisions being made for the long interests of the organisation.

Many executives fear that in situations such as this, mistakes may ultimately lead to an employment tribunal. We’ll provide you with the best possible advice to help avoid this risk and resolve any difficult issues in the most successful way possible.

We also understand the importance of coping with the emotions of employees leaving the business and the insecurity of those who remain. Unless change and job loss is managed in the best possible way there is the risk that the performance of the “surviving employees” will plummet and cause you ongoing problems.

Our wealth of experience in dealing with redundancy allows us to help you plan and cope with any problems that might arise. We will help you identify the most effective strategy and plan that will meet your needs. Our training packages will provide your team with the necessary skills so that your managers and professionals can action your plans and resolve issues in the most effective and advantageous way possible. We are also always available throughout the process with help and advice.

To support our strategic management advice, our redundancy training courses are available to both managers and employee representatives. These are typically a full or half day and costing £750 and £450 respectively. We also offer a service to employee representatives in which we will support them through the whole process providing training and advice on request.

Many sensitive or difficult issues often require an independent investigation. These can be either disciplinary allegations or grievances within the workplace. An independent view is usually required when the organisation does not have the resources, or perhaps managers are themselves mentioned in the allegations and are thus unable to carry out the investigation. In some cases it may be that the allegation is of such a serious nature it requires external advice.

We always ensure that any investigation is conducted in an independent and impartial manner, and importantly that it is completed quickly, efficiently and in accordance with legislation. This ensures that there is the minimal disruption to the organisation, that the individuals involved are dealt with in a reasonable and equitable way, and importantly that good practice can help protect you from any employment legal consequences.

Our investigation report will in addition to our findings recommend what actions, if any, you should take.

We also offer training for your Investigation Officers and Managers. The training will be developed to meet your exact needs and typically includes detail on the legal rights of the organisation and individuals, the forensic skills of investigation interviewing, and how to draw conclusions from any evidence that is collected. Our training programmes draw heavily on our extensive personal experience of carrying out investigations and gives trainees a realistic and honest understanding of the skills required.

Training is typically 1 to 2 days and costs approximately £750 per day.

A successful organisation employs great people and we want to help you ensure you do recruit the right people that will help you grow and succeed.

Recruitment is a costly exercise and interviews are notoriously unreliable. Using our knowledge of testing and assessment, you can improve the reliability of your recruitment process by 200-300%. This will increase your success rate, reduce costs and the longer term pain of having to deal with poor performance.

We are licensed users of a range of world class ability and personality tests and have significant experience of developing and running assessment centres that will meet your recruitment needs.

We have helped many organisations reduce the risks when recruiting senior staff, middle managers, team leaders and graduate trainees.

Our extensive experience of working with a wide range of organisations means we have a greater understanding of the pressures and constraints that exist. Therefore we can provide you with the most appropriate and cost effective people selection service.

The costs of testing start from as little as £50.00 per individual depending upon what is needed. Assessment centres for up to 8 candidates can cost as little as £1200.00 including some testing.

Company councils offer an alternative to Trades Unions. A company council is a representative body where management and employees can discuss and debate matters that impact upon employment within the organisation. Representatives are also often called upon to help and advise individual employees.

We have worked with many organisations, helping them to set up and operate effective consultative systems. We know that every council, forum, or representative body is different so we work with you to help develop a process and constitution that meets your specific needs.
We’ll help you train managers and representatives to run the forum. A well run and administered company council will benefit the company as a whole, providing a voice for employees and creating a positive and open working atmosphere.

Our company council training courses are available to both managers and employee representatives. These are typically a full or half day and will cost £750 and £450 respectively.

We also offer a service to employee representatives through which we support them across all of their activities. This can include advice on employment legal issues affecting individual employees, help and support on significant change affecting employment and strategic advice where the council has responsibility for negotiating terms and conditions.

It is a well known statistic that managers will spend around 80% of their time dealing with 20% of employees whose performance is not acceptable. Many managers find it difficult to deal with poor performers. We specialise in either helping managers deal with these poor performers or if they prefer, we can do it for them.
We can help you introduce and operate well proven methods that will deal with this difficult problem.

High levels of absenteeism is a significant performance issue and one of the greatest frustrations of managers and team members alike. It affects productivity; it loses opportunity and destroys teamwork and motivation.

With our help the application of straightforward, firm but compassionate systems will reduce absence and go on to control it within acceptable limits.

Our standard one day highly participative course is designed to give your managers and supervisors the skills and knowledge that will help reduce absence levels within your organisation. We use real case studies and group learning strategies to show how to do it.

Directors, managers and supervisors with responsibility for people issues and organisational performance will find this course invaluable.

If you have particular needs we would be delighted to work with you to design an activity that will reduce your costs and management time.

Poor performance is probably one of the biggest threats to your business. If people performance issues aren’t resolved other employees get sucked in and overall standards drop. It is essential that poor performance is tackled quickly with the objective of helping the employee improve. If individuals are unwilling or unable to meet reasonable standards then dismissal is often the final stage.
