Change management

Managing change in a business can be tricky. Resentment and rumours often build and your employees can become mistrustful and unproductive. We offer an experienced pair of hands to help you through any period of change in your business. The key is to help the team see why and how the change is necessary and to understand the benefits and opportunities to presents to them. We help you understand the change curve your team is experiencing and offer practical advice and support to help them through.

Performance management

Getting the best from your team is good for your business and good for them. We can help you develop thorough and robust performance management and appraisal systems, from inductions through to exit interviews to ensure your processes are not just legally compliant but effective and developing your team too.

Managing absence

Absence issues are always a major concern for employers as they disrupt productivity and can have a negative affect on other team members. We help navigate the process of managing absence as well as training managers in using tools, such as return to work interviews to good effect. We are used to working alongside occupational health professionals to plan phased returns for those on long term sick leave.

Writing and implementing HR policies and procedures

Company policies are a necessary part of any business to communicate the rules and procedures to employees. When policies are not in place or are out of date a business is exposed to potentially high-risk legal situations. With our support you can rest assured that your policies and procedures are legally compliant and tailored to suit your specific business requirements.

We can also help you put those policies and procedures into practical application throughout your business. Ensuring they are robust and well understood as well as training Managers and Supervisors to ensure they are correctly implemented.

HR training for managers

Your Managers deal with your employees everyday and are usually the first to know about any potential HR issues that may arise. We provide training for Managers and Supervisors to ensure they all fully understand the HR policies and procedures of your business. We also provide skills based training in line management, dealing with conflict, conducting appraisals, interviewing and recruitment, supervisory skills, coaching and mentoring and team leadership.

"Judy has been a fantastic partner in the business transformation we’ve undertaken over the last nearly three years. When I took over as first time Managing Director nearly three years back, and set out the very ambitious vision of doubling the turnover of the business whilst improving profitability in a three year time frame whilst at the same time making it an exciting and great place to work, I looked to Judy for support on the HR journey. The end result is that we are well on track to hitting our three -year business vision and at the same time have developed a highly motivated work place with a great buzz!”

“Judy worked extremely closely with us to become one of our team and to understand our business for a full, hands on approach, always challenging us to look at different perspectives, and then delivering excellent advice. We would recommend Judy to any business that requires outstanding, prompt, accurate and personal HR advice, without having the overhead of employing a HR professional.”

“I worked with Judy at a difficult time for the company. We had a lot of personnel issues that had not been addressed and a major restructuring of the business was required. Judy came up with the methods and timeline to make the significant changes happen seamlessly, taking into account that everything had to be done in a legal, and moral way. The plan was executed brilliantly with Judy attending all the sessions and handling the restructuring professionally and sensitively. I would recommend any SME to have Judy available for any HR advice as she is a straight talking, honest professional who makes things happen.”

“Judy is an action-oriented, focused HR professional. She and I worked in partnership on learning and development for all the employees in the UK. She never lost sight of her customers’ needs, worked tirelessly on the details, and delivered on all projects. I would highly recommend her, and would say she is an asset to any team on which she is part!”
