Helping to build strategies for success

Growth and Change

When it comes to starting, running, and growing a successful business we know how important your working team is to that success, as they must develop, adapt, and grow with you. As an employer, the responsibility of leading, hiring, growing, and managing your employees lies with you. Whilst this can be rewarding at times, we know that it’s you that feels the pressure when your team starts falling short or when changes are necessary. Dealing with change can be tricky in any circumstance and particularly in business, with most of us being resistant to or afraid of shaking things up, especially if it costs you time and money to support your team to adjust. This can be particularly challenging when there is a negative impact, such as a temporary period of lay off due to reduced work, or worse still a potential redundancy situation.

Change is inevitable in business. Failing to plan can mean planning to fail.

The cost of complacency

Too often, we meet stressed out employers who have business rushing in but a handful of employees leaving, or simply not enough staff to cope with the demand. This can leave you having to turn down business opportunities, or even damage relationships with existing clients when you can’t deliver as promised. The direct cost alone of getting recruitment wrong can be substantial, and when considering the disruption, training time, and demotivation it can also bring, it’s an eye watering prospect. Likewise, a downturn in work can leave you desperate to keep a loyal workforce in employment, and looking at alternative measures to keep the scales balanced.

As an employer, you could find yourself:

Lacking employee engagement, leading to staff members leaving
Perplexed on how to recruit ‘hidden gem’ employees that will contribute to the business
Fighting to meet client demands caused by a reduced team
Unsure how best to retain your shining star employees
Concerned at how and where to reduce overheads, struggling to get employees on board with change
Unsure how to keep up

Our business-focused approach

Finding those hidden gems to join your team isn’t easy to start with. Attracting the talent can be half the battle, especially in those niche jobs where people with the skill set you require are hard to come by. At Triangle HR, we can help you in the recruitment process to attract and find those hidden gems, so you don’t have to spend your time wading through piles of CVs or creating/re-using job descriptions that don’t seem to bring forward the applicants that your business needs. Outside of recruitment, many businesses become out of touch with salary expectations and market trends and may not be familiar with the increasing array of wider benefits available for their team. Sometimes, there is no better way to find out how well you are doing or what more you can do, than getting it straight from the horse’s mouth! We can help you to create and deliver employee satisfaction surveys and HR reports that can guide you on decisions to shape your team for success.

It’s unlikely that recruiting good people will solve all your problems, when you find them, it makes sense for you to keep hold of them! Perhaps you have acquired or sold an element of the business leading to internal changes, or developed a new product or service line? If so, you may want to introduce, or amend the benefits on offer, or it may be a good idea to accommodate that lucrative new contract with different working hours or processes. Even in less turbulent times, it’s important to look at the road ahead and you may be inclined to develop plans for promotion and succession, or other business changes that secure an upward journey and future success. At Triangle HR, we can support you in protecting and driving your business forward, whether that’s managing necessary changes across the organisation, striving to be an employer of choice through enhanced rewards and benefits, or strategic planning for a secure future.
