Human resources consulting

Studies and consultations on human resources and workforce planning, and on raising performance by diagnosing the technical, psychological and behavioural problems employees face in their jobs.

About this service

Most performance problems are treated as people problems when they are really planning, role or process problems, and the reverse happens just as often. We study the work as it is actually done, identify what is getting in the way, and say plainly what will fix it.

Every study ends in something you can act on: a report, clear advice, a professional or administrative programme designed for your team, or a set of proposed training courses aimed at the specific problem we found.

Questions we often help with

  • Do we have the right number of people, with the right skills, in the right roles?
  • Why has performance dropped in this team, and what is really causing it?
  • Is the problem technical, psychological or behavioural, and who needs to act on it?
  • Which training will actually change results, and which is just activity?

What this service covers

  • Workforce and manpower planning studies
  • Workforce performance studies and improvement plans
  • Diagnosis of technical, psychological and behavioural job problems
  • Reports, professional advice and counsel
  • Design of professional and administrative programmes
  • Proposed training courses for the problems identified

Please note:We do not supply manpower, sponsor labour, or employ workers on behalf of clients.

How the work runs

  1. 1Discovery

    Interviews, documents and data. We establish what is actually happening before we propose anything.

  2. 2Diagnosis

    Findings measured against regulation, market practice and your objectives, then ranked: urgent, important, and what can wait.

  3. 3Design

    Plans, policies, programmes and materials built for your organisation, not adapted from a template.

  4. 4Implementation

    Rollout planning, briefings and training. We stay with you through the change, not just the report.

  5. 5Review & handover

    We refine what we built based on real use, then hand it over so your team can run it without us.
