When you’ve got a HR question, who do you go to? 🧐Google? 🤨ACAS? 🤔A business network? Although there’s nothing wrong with using the resources you have, sometimes having a HR partner, a subject matter expert to chat your questions through can reassure you that you are doing the right thing. As well as being a strategic partner, we also love the business as usual HR ‘stuff’ too, which are probably the bits a business owner loves a little less. So, if there’s something strange in your neighbourhood (or workplace 😀) who you gonna call ? —— The People Park provide affordable HR support for Charities and Small Businesses. In need of a HR support power hour? We have 5 to give away in September for Charities, SMEs (less than 10 employees) and spouse or veteran run organisations… drop us a DM to find out more

It’s one thing to establish values. It’s another thing to define values. But it’s a whole other thing trying to understand what those values mean not only to your company/organization but to your end users. This workshop was such a pleasure to lead, especially with companies like Charity People and OXygen that are truly committed to living their values. #workshopfacilitation #valuedrivencompanies #brandstrategy #strategicmessaging

We've empowered organisations to travel the world together through our movement programmes over the past 4 years. It has allowed us to create 'real' employee engagement within organisations whilst reducing MSK & absenteeism costs. Today is another special day for the Total Active Hub team; having signed up a truly global organisation: > present in over 180 countries > supporting over 100,000 customers > with over 24,000 employees Over the coming months, we'll be deploying our market leading movement programme which focuses on activity and every level of fitness - our strategy is simple: > We want employees to simply Move More If you're wanting to create an Active Engaged Community, here's the strategy we use: 1. Start with movement first, don't worry about leaderboards 2. Celebrate every type of movement 3. Bring people together into teams 4. Bring users to life Once you're up and running, move onto connecting your community: 1. Link in your charities 2. Donate money when employees move each week Finally, don't STOP! > the benefits of movement don't stay with you, so keep everyone moving ---- P.S. never underestimate the power of physical movement, it's not called the 'miracle cure' for nothing. Looking to reduce absenteeism or drive greater employee engagement, then drop a meeting into my diary and I'll run through the secret further: https://lnkd.in/eDzJvzep

As a charity, Child Action Northwest require the majority of employees to deliver the necessary support and services to those who need it, so their back office needs to be as efficient, low cost, and lean as possible. Prior to using Access PeopleHR, the team were spending 6-7 working days per month purely processing timesheets across the business, which was draining resource unnecessarily.

Getting through life's ups and downs at work isn't easy, and even harder when attempting to do it alone... Managing work and life successfully means getting support to tackle the curveballs life throws our way… If a member of your team were to approach you with a similar issue, you would without a shadow of a doubt: 👉 Encourage them to have an open and honest conversation about their personal challenges, 👉 Create a safe space for them to talk - whether all they need is a listening ear or whether they need help to find a solution. 👉 Actively listen to understand how you can support them. As a people manager, you are not alone in supporting the people that you work with. And what applies to your team, also applies to you. There is a lot of internal support available, whether it is from your HR team or your employee assistance programme. Working with a coach can also help your team members or you during these times. And there are also lots of great charities and resources out there that can help you no matter what life event you are experiencing. Don’t go through it alone, reach out for help 🤝 #ManagerSupport #LifeEvents #WorkplaceWellbeing

🌟 Why Support a Non-Profit? 🌟 Hello LinkedIn friends, Marc here from Take2Minutes. Today, I want to share some powerful reasons why supporting a non-profit can be incredibly beneficial, not just for the community but for your business too. Here are five key benefits: 1) Enhanced Corporate Image - Aligning with a non-profit enhances your brand’s reputation and demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility, attracting positive attention from consumers and stakeholders. 2) Employee Engagement - Collaborating with non-profits can significantly boost employee morale and engagement. It provides your team with meaningful opportunities to contribute to the community, aligning their personal values with corporate goals. 3) Tax Benefits - Supporting a non-profit isn't just good for the soul; it’s also good for your finances. Contributions are often tax-deductible, providing financial incentives alongside altruistic benefits. 4) Positive Community Impact - By supporting non-profits, your business can play a crucial role in making a tangible impact on societal challenges, improving the quality of life in communities where your employees live and work. 5) Networking Opportunities - Engaging with non-profits opens up new networking avenues with other donors, businesses, and community leaders, expanding your professional network and opening up new business opportunities. Supporting a non-profit like Take2Minutes not only helps advance our mission to enhance mental wellness but also brings numerous benefits to your business. Let’s make a difference together! https://lnkd.in/gV7Cd5aC./page_sponsors.html #CorporateSocialResponsibility #NonProfitSupport #CommunityImpact #EmployeeWellness #Networking #Take2Minutes
