We’re Official! People & Culture is Now PSPLA-Certified

What we do

We can easily adapt to your environment and coach you every step of the way, either on your site, off-site, on the phone or online. You will get a dedicated Consultant to support you with all your people and culture requirements.

Processes & Guidelines

We will tailor your HR processes and policies to perfectly fit your company's unique needs and goals. We conduct a thorough evaluation of your current HR documents, policies & frameworks to identify gaps & improvement areas.

We will then work with you to create bespoke documentation, templates, guides, policies and toolkits that suit your internal culture. We also work with our employment lawyer to ensure your documents comply with current legislation so that your HR department has the fundamentals in place to operate smoothly (without going overboard with paperwork)!

People & Culture Strategy

In the initial phase of our collaboration, we engage with clients through either an employee engagement survey or a client discovery session. This step allows us to gather essential insights into the current HR dynamics and employee perspectives. The outcomes from these discovery phases allows us to craft a bespoke HR strategy that aligns with business goals and prioritise key focus areas.

Our partnership approach ensures the HR strategy we develop addresses both the immediate and long-term needs of the organisation.

Remuneration & benefits

We collaborate with you to refine your remuneration and benefits approach, ensuring they're competitive and reflect your company's mission. By leveraging market insights, we craft strategies that attract and retain talent while maintaining financial viability.

Our role extends to effectively communicating these benefits to your employees, emphasising their value in supporting both professional and personal growth. This approach boosts employee satisfaction and positions your company as a preferred employer.

Talent management and planning

We help you align your talent strategy with your business goals, identifying skill needs and talent gaps to ensure your workforce is future-ready. Our services include succession planning and talent development, aimed at creating a flexible and growth-oriented organisation.

Our proactive talent management approach focuses on nurturing high-potential employees and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. This keeps your team competitive and engaged, preparing your company for both current and future success with enhanced employee retention.

Organisational design

We partner with our clients to identify key talent needs and develop strategies to attract, retain, and develop the right people. Our approach includes performance management, leadership development, and succession planning, all tailored to enhance your team's capabilities and readiness for future challenges.

Our support extends beyond strategy development; we also provide practical tools and guidance for implementing effective talent management practices. This includes creating engaging employee development programs and establishing clear career paths that motivate and retain high performers.

Diversity and Inclusion

We collaborate with you to develop strategies that foster an inclusive workplace, where diversity is not just recognised but celebrated. Through targeted training programs, policy development, and awareness campaigns, we help create an environment that encourages open dialogue, mutual respect, and equal opportunities for all employees.

Our goal is to ensure that every team member feels valued and empowered to contribute their best, driving innovation and enhancing company performance.

Wellbeing initiatives

We assist our clients in crafting and implementing comprehensive wellbeing initiatives that address the physical, mental, and emotional health of their workforce. By conducting thorough needs assessments, we identify specific areas where support is most needed, creating tailored programs that promote a healthy work-life balance, stress management, and overall employee wellness.

Our services range from developing wellness workshops and fitness challenges to offering resources for mental health support. We aim to foster a supportive environment where employees feel valued and have access to the tools they need to maintain their wellbeing.

Recruitment support

Our recruitment support services are designed to streamline the hiring process for our clients, ensuring they attract and retain the best talent for their needs. We offer a comprehensive suite of services, including job description development, writing & placing job adverts, screening candidates, conducting initial interviews, and facilitating the final hiring steps and onboarding.
