We provide consultancy around People Management, Work-life Balance / Flexible Working, Stress Management, Learning and Development, Wellbeing Initiatives and Coaching.

Under UK law, employers have a legal duty of care to ensure their employees are not harmed by work-related stress. They also have a duty to assess the risks arising from hazards at work, including stress. To help organisations meet these duties, the Health and Safety Executive introduced Management Standards and guidelines on work-related stress. We run a variety of Stress Management programmes for both managers and staff, which focus not only on the causes, signs and symptoms of stress, but also cover a range of practical coping strategies.

The personal and business impact of not achieving a good work-life balance is very real - people who are under an immense burden, just don’t perform to their best. Research has shown that organizational performance suffers where people are struggling to maintain the balance between work and their home life. The common factor in all work-life balance solutions is that they recognize the different needs of different people.

Finding and keeping the right people can be a real challenge for many organizations. The performance of all staff is maximized by the creation of a progressive, high performance and innovative environment, developing talent and capability, identifying and fulfilling potential, championing a climate of self-development.
Through a robust and effective Performance Development process, performance and business objectives are focused to develop the personal skills of staff in line with the future needs of the business.
Progressive organizations are keen to promote flexible working and other wellbeing initiatives, recognizing the value and benefits this brings to the business, in terms of staff loyalty, reduction in sickness and attrition and higher productivity.

There are substantial business benefits that result in cultivating an environment where staff feel valued, are recognized for outstanding performance and are developed as individuals. We recently enabled a major high street bank to reduce sickness and attrition significantly below industry standards, whilst achieving external recognition for the innovative strategies we implemented:

 

  • European Call Centre of the Year

“Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one’s better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.”


“Get a good idea and stay with it. Do it, and work at it until it’s done right”.
