Our Services


Workforce Strategy

In the current economic climate organisations need to rethink their approach to workforce issues to ensure they are sustainable in the long term.  At the same time, the generational shift in the workforce presents both challenges and opportunities. 

See our mini-guide to workforce planning which is aimed at social care organisations but which has a more general application. 

We can assist you by carrying out an employee survey, an audit of your current systems and practices or by gathering statistical data on your current workforce and the local labour market. 

Workforce development

We work with a number of local workforce development partnerships to coordinate access to funding and support

Employee Relations support

Every organisation will at some point have to address a difficult employee relations problem.  This is not only stressful for those concerned, it can also become a legal minefield if the problem escalates out of control.  

Having access to a specialist with experience and expertise is invaluable, especially if this is a new situation. 

We would strongly advise having external support for the most complex cases such as persistent sickness absence, bullying or harassment, breach of professional boundaries, discrimination, undermining or potential criminal behaviour.  

Time is often critical in such cases and we will advise you immediately of the potential pitfalls you might face, what we can do to help, and an estimate of the time and cost.  

External HR services

You can buy in HR advice services in much the same way that they buy in services from an accountant or solicitor. 

You benefit from having access to HR advice and resources as and when you need it.

Online tools

As well as employee surveys, we offer a cost-effective set of online tools: 

  • Equal opportunities monitoring
  • Probationary assessment online
  • "Exit" survey to capture leaver information.
