Fixing your people challenges moving through 2021

The pandemic continues to challenge the way we work and create people issues. Why not let us take them off your plate so you can get on with running your business?

Using her 25 years of experience in HR, much of it spent working on major transformational projects, Shané Francis-Myles has recently created a practical toolkit for business owners, ‘The changing workplace checklist’. She can also help address the following questions:

  • Have you future-proofed your business? Is your business model still relevant? Does your people strategy support this?
  • Are you working out a hybrid home and office solution? Have you aligned your benefits and policies?
  • What are your responsibilities to employees through the next few months? How do you engage your employees in this discussion? What should you have in place?
  • Have you got a Covid-19 testing plan in place? What are your legal and data protection obligations around testing and vaccination?

If you need help with any of the above, let us take the people issues off your plate so you can get on with running your business.

Shané is one of our team of 50 HR experts, helping businesses around the UK to supercharge performance.

Now is the time for disruptive leadership

The past year has been tough for many businesses, but now is the time to think about the future and ask: What are the new opportunities? What can we do with our current capabilities? Where is the white space in the market?

Disruptive leaders have ambitious goals and a vision of how to get there. Shaun has seen them transform large businesses during his time at Britvic, Tesco and Sainsbury. But he’s also seen disruptive leadership drive exceptional results for SME clients, where he’s helped address questions like:

  • What groundbreaking ways of working will realise my vision?
  • Does my executive team have the competence and desire to drive this disruption?
  • Do my managers have the capability to run the business, so I’m free to pursue new opportunities and work on the business rather than in it?
  • How do I energise and enthuse everyone with the new vision and business model?

Achieving a high-performance culture

Most businesses have been in survival mode – but as restrictions lift, now is the time to get on the front foot, focus on your value-added activities and get rid of what isn’t adding value.

The most successful companies John has worked in – large and small – are those that seek out new opportunities and diversify. So – when markets change, they don’t just survive, they thrive – even during a pandemic.

To rise to new challenges, however, it’s essential to have these fundamentals in place:

  • Clarity: Am I clear on what we are trying to achieve? Do we need to change or do anything differently?
  • Communication: Does everyone know what’s expected of them moving forward? Does information flow upwards as well as downwards? Do we measure the right KPIs?
  • Consistency: Does everyone have a proper job description and feel valued?
  • Capability: What skills do we need? Can they be developed in house or do I need to recruit?

John is one of our team of 50 HR experts, helping businesses around the UK to supercharge performance.

Vee Halliwell

Ex Head of HR for Costa Coffee China and The Times Educational Supplement

How do I take care of my employees’ wellbeing?

Before Covid, one in four people had some kind of mental health issue – and more than half of adults say their mental health has worsened since the pandemic began. The cost to business can be huge, with potentially hundreds of hours lost to sick leave and isolated employees struggling to fully engage.

A good People Director can embed a holistic company-wide strategy rather than piecemeal approach to help you reconnect with your employees, improve morale, reduce staff turnover and build a happy, healthy workforce.

As a mental health first aider trained in wellbeing and mindfulness, Vee Halliwell has helped her clients:

  • Create a listening environment where leaders model good practice
  • Provide mental health training for leaders and managers
  • Create spaces for conversations
  • Put in place practical solutions such as an employee assistant programme
  • Tailor solutions according to company culture and requirement

Vee is one of our team of 50 HR experts, helping businesses around the UK to supercharge performance.
