HR & Business Support

Every business evolves, never standing still, which leads to changes in personnel, culture and working requirements.

Getting the right people, with the right behaviours and the right mindsets in place is important and should never be underestimated. We will work with you to ensure you achieve a settled workforce and a great environment where everyone is valued and contributes.

• Assessment centres

  

  'Assessing for Success' is a suite of assessment solutions designed to ensure successful recruitment and personal development takes place. We work directly with clients to design the assessment solution that is right for their specific business needs.

  Assessment options include, skills and competency based interviews, role-play exercises, written analysis exercises, group exercises, presentations and on site people interaction (assessing candidates interacting with colleagues in the workplace). The programme has an additional dimension in that it can include assessor training for managers wishing to become internal assessors.

• Attitude surveys

  

  Does what the management team think about your organisation match what others are thinking? Are people happy in work? What issues are affecting employees? What is the impact of management and leadership behaviour? What do you need to do more of? What do you need to do less of? - Why not find out?

  We create and deliver bespoke online employee attitude surveys to help businesses understand where they are today 'AS IS', clarify where they need to be tomorrow 'TO BE' then help them develop a strategy to close the gaps between the two points. Our approach includes questionnaire design, delivery, report compilation, feedback and when required the planning and implementation needed to close identified gaps.

Each questionnaire is designed to meet client's specific needs and is delivered securely and confidentially online (or paper based if required).

• Issue and conflict resolution

  

  Workplace issues and conflict between people is not healthy for any organisation. With our help you can remove or significantly reduce this disruptive factor thus improving effectiveness and organisational efficiency. Our team of expert consultants provide different options to help reduce workplace issues and conflict by working through the problems at their early stages.

  Our approach involves ensuring open lines of communication, understanding, listening and empathy are established, to promote flexible creative solutions, agreeable to the individuals and the organisation involved.

  In partnership with clients we: discuss concerns about staff member's behaviour and their personal issues, develop and share mutual understanding, discuss options to address the problems, open the communication process and facilitate the implementation of solutions.

  One Blue Chip client said "Not only has our performance as individuals improved as a result, but the performance of the team has improved beyond our wildest expectations. The scale of the change has even been noticed by our client Chevron, who where intrigued that such a noticeable improvement had been made in such a short time" Jim Hughes, Offshore Installation Manager, Bibby Line Group.

• Stress management

  

  It is well recognised that stress at work is causing massive problems. A Labour Force Survey in 2007/8 estimated that 442,000 employees in the UK believed that work-related stress was actually making them ill. Any stress can reduce employee well-being and productivity. Occupational stress poses a risk to most businesses and compensation payments for stress are increasing, therefore it is vitally important to meet the challenge and deal with excessive and long-term causes of stress. In the CIPD absence management survey 2008, just under a third of organisations surveyed reported an increase in work-related stress compared with the previous year.

  Don't let stress cause your employees and business problems. Identifying and understanding what is causing stress is critical, but what is more important is implementing the actions and behaviours needed to reduce and eliminate stressors at their source. At Reach Another Level we have the expertise, tools and approaches needed to improve workplace environments and performance, and help eliminate stress.

• Change management

  

  Reach Another Level's consultants have extensive experience working in organisations that want or need to implement change through change management approaches.

Our model for managing change sits around six key components (click on the image to view the process):

  

  We keep things simple, build a shared level of understanding, and empower employees at all levels to become engaged. One of our team achieved an 800% improvement in productivity (see the Breaking the Mould programme) through implementing a change management initiative that placed communication and underutilised employee experience at its core.
