“More effective, legally compliant, completely up to date and tailored specifically to your business!” If that’s the vision you have for your Human Resources strategy, there is a new company ready to help you make that a reality.
Engaged People is a new company launched just last month that is unique in that it was created out of the single minded desire of its founders to provide businesses of any size with the resources to maximise employee effectiveness and efficiency.
Engagement at the heart of business, beginning with the corporate goals, mission and vision, and being instrumental in translating those key drivers into a workable and deliverable strategy, which it then provides the resources to deliver.
An HR resource delivering the outcomes required by corporate clients will need to have a working knowledge of employment law; Engaged People, in the consultancy services it provides, is backed by one of the region’s leading employment law firms, ensuring that clients get the best of both worlds.
Its name recognises the importance of having a workforce that is engaged and informed. When employees throughout a company understand and relate their work to its aims and its goals, the company achieves far better outcomes.
Engaged People offers a complete range of services from strategic advice aligned to corporate goals, to supporting existing HR resources in the delivery of bespoke projects. In addition, it can provide support with all aspects of the employee lifecycle from onboarding and performance enhancement to exit.
Making up Engaged People’s team of specialists, headed up by CEO Robert Davidson are, Jeanne Irons, Gillian Rutherford and Helen Anthony. The team, individually and collectively, have an unrivalled reputation for delivering outstanding levels of service to business. Engaged People holds the view that effective HR management must be capable of providing support at a strategic as well as operational level. Each client receives a bespoke service, and will have access to Engaged People as regularly as they need.
The team is highly experienced and can offer a ‘cradle-to-grave’ service including psychometric testing, assessments, role evaluation, performance management, and mentoring/coaching.
With employment law changing all the time, and the penalties for not adhering to good HR practice potentially devastating to a business, it makes sense for every company, even down to the smallest SME, to know that its HR strategy is working to the full benefit of the company and its employees.
“What we have found is that there is a lot of confusion about what falls under the heading of employment law and what is a human resources issue,” said Robert Davidson. “If you’re an SME of, say, fewer than 25 employees, chances are you’re not going to have the resources for a full time HR director, but Engaged People believes that you should still have access to the highest quality of HR support. In addition, companies still need to know that contracts are in place, procedures are being followed and your HR infrastructure works for you and your employees. Total support can be achieved through Engaged People for a fraction of the normal cost.”
Jeanne Irons, Human Resources Specialist, said: “Once Engaged People are confident that clients are legally compliant, we become a regular point of contact for the client, on the client’s terms, maybe one day a week or a couple of days a month, as and when needed.”
She added: “Clients, in turn, can rest assured that they have a strategy devised by a competent HR professional who is on hand to guide the client forward, and also that this strategy has the back up of a professional employment law firm. In addition, as long as the client remains with Engaged People, all the documents and procedures that have been drawn up or put in place by Engaged People, will be kept up to date at no extra cost.”
“In very simple terms, every employee in a company needs to know whether they are doing a good job and what is expected of them,” said Gillian Rutherford. “They need to understand what their role is and how it impacts on the business if they don’t deliver. If that is in place and they are engaged in the business, then they will be a valuable asset.”
