Strategy & Policy FAQs

Understanding long-term workforce planning and development.

What is a workforce planning gap analysis?

It's a strategic review where we analyse your current staff's skills and capacity against your future business goals. We then identify the 'gaps' and create a plan to bridge them through hiring or training.

Can you help develop a unique company culture strategy?

Yes. We work with you to define your core values and then weave those values into your HR policies, performance management, and employee engagement initiatives to create a cohesive culture.

How often should HR policies be reviewed?

We recommend a full review at least once a year. However, we also provide immediate updates whenever there are significant changes to UK employment legislation that affect your business.

Who it's for

SMEs, GP practices, private healthcare and childcare providers that need HR policies, procedures or a staff handbook created from scratch, brought up to date, or checked against current employment law.

Workforce planning

Workforce planning makes sure your staffing, now and in the future, matches your service and business plans. We look at your current workforce, including vacancies and staff turnover, the developments you have planned over the next three to five years, and the skills, qualifications and experience you will need. We then help you set priorities and timescales and review the plan each year.

Common questions

Do you write staff handbooks?

Yes. We can write a new staff handbook or review and update the one you already have.

How often should HR policies be reviewed?

It is good practice to review them regularly and whenever employment law changes. Our annual retainer clients can ask us at any time.

Can you train our managers on the policies?

Yes. We offer training for managers and staff on people management and the employment law behind your policies.

Typical cost: from £80 an hour, with most projects around £700 plus VAT. See all prices.
