HR is, for many companies, something that can easily be forgotten once they have it. Like insurance, many companies have a basic service hoping they will not have to use it for anything beyond the fundamentals such as policy writing or occasional recruitment. For this reason, many organisations opt for digital libraries and virtual assistance models that do not take into account your business needs, goals, culture or employees.

We know from talking with existing and potential clients, that when the digital platforms have to perform, they can become very disjointed and more importantly costly as over and above accessing the digital platforms, organisations quite probably incur extra costs for having human interactions from these providers. Often these interactions are essential to the effect time and resource management of our clients, as Company Directors and Senior Leaders they often do not have time to trawl through links connected to documentation, legislation, case law and attempting to establish advice from writing and standardised helplines. They often need a quick answer from someone who understands their organisation, its people, its history and its culture.

What we do know is that in general, organisations want to do the best thing by their staff, customers and shareholders. They want a pleasant working environment where people can be themselves, feel safe, feel treated fairly. They want to ensure that they comply with employment law, have up to date policy and process, retain and train talented and competent people, and make sure that every staff member sees their contribution to the organisations business goals.
