Our people culture expertise

Employee engagement

  • Effective communication and engagement with employees will allow them to feel involved with the business and to take greater responsibility and accountability for what they do and how they do it. Actively seeking employees’ ideas and acting on their feedback ensures appropriate channels for employee voice. HR Plus can help with this including supporting you to design and deliver confidential staff surveys.
  • Engaging and involving employees in the business planning process and goal setting will support improved performance.
  • Promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion throughout the workplace from initial recruitment to day-to-day activities will keep your business relevant in today’s world.
  • Introducing processes to deal with all forms of Harassment and Bullying, making clear that such behaviour will not be tolerated and setting out the consequences of breaking your business behaviour code will help to maintain a great culture.

Rewarding employees

  • Creating appropriate and relevant remuneration and benefits packages will be key to attracting and retaining employees. HR Plus can help support this by identifying what’s best for your business.
  • Reward gets to the heart of the matter, including what your employees care about, such as being valued and their career progression, as well as the usual pay and benefits.
  • The appropriate benefits will depend upon the sector you work in, the size of your business and what your competitors do. It might include having a relevant Health and Wellbeing package, access to Occupational Health and EAP as well as good holiday arrangements and the ability to give employees agility and flexibility by operating a healthy Flexible Working policy as well as being supportive of Maternity and Paternity leave.

  • Over the next few years remaining or becoming multidisciplined will be necessary for most employees. That’s where Learning and Development will support you to keep employees fulfilled in their employment and help retain them in your business. HR Plus can support your business to identify and deliver the most appropriate Learning and Development packages and work with you to identify methods to develop and retain Talent.
  • Promoting and encouraging involvement with CSR activities will be welcomed by many employees, and give you good PR opportunities.
