Consultancy Services

We offer an extensive range of consultancy services, a few of which are outlined below.

Diversity & Procurement

Equal Opportunities and Diversity Issues are becoming ever more important in organisations of all types. The public sector now has major obligations under Equalities legislation, which include the requirement to impact assess policies and procedures, and actively to promote Equality. The private sector is also coming under increasing pressure to consider Equality & Diversity, and this may be a crucial factor in winning contracts, particularly with public sector organisations. We have extensive experience of working with a variety of businesses and public sector clients to ensure they have the best understanding of Equality and Diversity, particularly in relation to procurement.

We offer a wide range of services, including:

An audit of your policies and procedures to ensure they comply with the latest legislation
Assessment of your major 'risk' areas, with advice about what changes are required to help you to avoid Discrimination claims.
Advice on monitoring Diversity
Training managers in performing Equality Impact Assessments
Support during the tendering process, including attendance at tender clarification meetings if appropriate
Helping you to promote Equality and Inclusion in your organisation, for example by training and mentoring diversity 'champions'.
'Train the trainer' packages to provide good quality, cost-effective training in Equality & Diversity

Stress, Bullying and Harassment

Nobody likes to think their organisation has a bullying problem, but these issues can arise even in the best-run business. Many managers may be unaware of the true level of these problems in their organisation. Our audit can identify problem areas and provide you with an action plan, including written policies, for reducing stress, bullying and harassment.

EU Labour Law

The main principals of Anti-Discrimination and Labour Law are the same across the 27 member states of the European Union. We can help to ensure that you comply with EU Directives, and that your managers are trained in the basics of EU Labour Law. An audit of your policies can help to provide consistency across your pan-European Human Resource operations.

Management

We provide a wide range of Management Consultancy services, tailor-made for your needs. Popular areas include:

Absence Management - establishing the true level of absence, and identifying predisposing causes. We can design and write an absence management policy for you and provide practical solutions to reduce the level and cost of both long-term and short-term, intermittent absence.
Motivation and Performance Management - small-group or one-to-one coaching of team leaders can greatly enhance management skills and effectiveness in the workplace. We can help you to set up, and run, an effective system to review and manage performance, or provide training in motivation.
