Employee Relations & Investigations
We have worked with clients in the Public, Private and Third sectors in managing their employee relations cases. Whether it’s an investigation, grievance or disciplinary hearing, mediation or an organisational review; we offer a confidential, sensitive and professional service as the independent party. We have worked with boards and committees to ensure that things are how they should be within their businesses and organisations, and in the most cost-effective approach.
Transformation
At People Matters we can project manage change and support you through difficult times, so you are not alone. Getting the right organisational design is critical to success and it needs to be fit for purpose. Change Management / Transformation comes in various forms whether it’s a new way of working, a systems implementation or company restructuring. Our approach will be flexible and bespoke working with all key stakeholders including trade unions where required and aim to make the process as sensitive and smooth as possible for everyone involved.
Health and Safety
Keeping to the right side of health and safety legislation can help minimise and manage risks. Employers are legally required to have health and safety policies in place. Failure to comply can lead to consequences like fines, business closures and even imprisonment. We can support you with the right guidance to ensure you are safe and we also have Fire Risk Assessment expertise.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI)
Organisations want to ensure that their workforces are as diverse and inclusive as possible. This does not happen by chance or overnight. It’s not just about policies and processes – it’s about your culture, leadership, your values, and many other things which are perhaps not so visible or obvious. We can support you in this transformation utilising a breath of experience via our associates.
