People Strategy

Having a people strategy that is aligned to your goals will help to ensure your business grows and flourishes as your team expands.

If your business is a start-up or growing and employing more people to join your team, it is never too soon to create and develop a people strategy.

We work with business leaders to understand your business aims and goals. From there, we create a bespoke people strategy that helps you and your business achieve your goals.

How you are perceived can have a huge impact on whether you’re the obvious choice for a potential candidate.

Salary benchmarking and job evaluation

Job evaluation and salary benchmarking exercises help you gather internal and external data on roles in your company and equivalent jobs in other employers or sectors.

Salary benchmarking helps your company remain competitive when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. Job evaluation is internally focused, using a systematic approach to  rank jobs and their relative importance within an organisation. Both salary benchmarking and job evaluation help to ensure pay is both fair and competitive.

Using an established job evaluation methodology, we help businesses with implementing and undertaking job evaluations. We also undertake salary benchmarking either alongside job evaluation or as a separate process.

From defining their role as your business expands to establishing standards for the future or finding the right people to make it work, we offer specialised training and development to help your new team thrive as quickly as possible.

We understand that keeping on top of day to day HR administration such as recording holidays, sickness, updating employee information and HR documents can take up a lot of time for businesses. This is why we recommend having an HR system in place to help take the administration away whilst keeping you compliant and by giving you the HR reporting tools you need.

We have experience of implementing a range of HR systems and finding the right match for your business needs. Find out more on our HR Software section about our approach to supporting the implementation of a HR system.

What our CLIENTS think

As an already small team we needed to ensure that the resources for our business weren’t reduced by avoidable HR issues. Having an external team to assist with managing our HR needs compliantly and correctly really gave us peace of mind. Safe in the knowledge that we were protecting the rights of both employer and employee. Having a structure and procedure in place ensures that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet. I would certainly recommend Norton Loxley. The sensitivity and speed with which they respond to fast paced HR developments has been invaluable to us.

Really professional experience. We needed some managerial staff hiring on short notice and we were given a shortlist of candidates with interviews lined up within the week.

The staff member we hired came with a wealth of experience and the vetting process was obviously very thorough.

After an initial meeting to discuss the job description, expectations and availability, suitable candidates were then put forward for consideration and interviews were set up. We have now employed a full time employee who has just completed her first week. Throughout the recruitment process, contact was frequent and I was kept updated. I will be back in contact again when a new position(s) come up. Thanks for your help.
