HR Support
Managing people and teams is not easy. But neither does it have to be overcomplicated. Most of the time, given the tools and skills, you and your managers can manage most situations.
True, you’ll need to understand the basics – and armed with our core policies and procedures, your managers will be able to deal with most day to day HR issues competently and confidently.
Helping you put robust working practices in place, training your managers to take most HR issues in their stride with the tools and knowledge they need to create a great place to work. And should you find that you’re dealing with extraordinary circumstances, you can rely on Your Potential for advice and support to deliver the results you need.
HR Project Management
So, you’ve got your day to day HR working practices under control, and then the unexpected happens. Perhaps you’re restructuring, downsizing, or acquiring new business. Maybe it’s managing an unpredictable or a difficult project. Whatever it is, it’s outside of your ‘business as usual’.
Managing these situations can sometimes require a level of skill and knowledge that you don’t have and wouldn’t normally expect to need in house.
Typically all you’ll need are an extra pairs of hands – someone with the skills and expertise to simply step into your organisation and take control of a short term project. Someone who can shoulder the burden and can integrate quickly into your team.
Whatever the issue, you need the capability, the reassurance and advice that the fully qualified and experienced Your Potential team can bring to help you successfully manage the project and achieve your business goals.
Conflict Resolution
From time to time, even in the most professional and organised of workplaces, disputes can arise – two employees at odds, personality clashes or serious grievances. Whatever the issue, unresolved friction in the workplace can be destructive. At best, it taints the working atmosphere. At worst, it impacts on productivity and morale.
We manage internal disciplinary and grievances matters by carrying out impartial investigations. Our impartial mediation service is also on hand to resolve more complex disputes effectively and sensitively.
Whether it’s an independent investigator or a fully trained workplace mediator you need; the team at Your Potential has the skill, sensitivity and experience to untangle even the most difficult situations, following structured tried and tested procedures.
Team Dynamics
Sometimes, great teams just happen. Each team member gets to have their input, common goals are agreed, tasks allocated, credit is given where it’s due and great things are achieved. Morale is high.
But when they don’t… Personality clashes, misunderstandings, poor communication and lack of awareness of differences get in the way of the needs of the business. Skills are under-utilised, tensions erupt and resentment can build.
It’s not good for individuals. And it’s disastrous for business.
At Your Potential, we focus on getting the most from each team and every individual. Recognising that each has their part to play, the individual strengths can contribute to the overall cohesion and success of the team.
Business Development
You hear from the Dragons Den to the accountant’s office the importance of knowing your numbers – but this is about your operations and not your accounts! We work with husband and wife teams to multi million pound businesses on a national scale to help make good businesses better. We do this by putting you, and your business on track – whether that’s a one off bit of help or a long term working relationship.
We can support your business by strengthening your KPI monitoring; developing customers feedback systems; building business plans for acquisition or growth; or just being a sounding board for you to discuss ideas and be challenged in a positive a supportive way.
