🦋 It goes without saying that change is a constant in business 🦋 However, if you’re a business owner or manager, you’ll know there are times when change is less welcome - or expected, than usual 😬 An extreme version of this - and one where I know professional HR services can MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, is when leaders are forced to make tough decisions, such as... Downsizing 📉 A common example here is when costs have spiralled and a client calls upon my services to help them quickly scale back so they can remain sustainable. Understandably, it’s a complex situation; alongside the sensitive employee conversations there are legal implications if things aren’t dealt with correctly. All of which 🟰 more than reputations are at stake. However, if this is a situation you’re currently facing, please don’t panic. Professional HR outsourcing can help you ensure practicalities and legal compliance issues are fully managed, and your people empathically supported through transitions. All of which means... 💫 Minimal stress upon business owners, managers and other employees 💫 Streamlined processes and a ‘back to basics’ return to core values and services 💫 Costs back under control 💫 Reputations AND a business saved! So whether you’re a leader in this position or worried you might become one, ACT NOW. HR Leadership Coaching gives you the space to: ✅ Gain perspective ✅ Make practical, informed decisions ✅ Align teams with your organisational goals ✅ Ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness ✅ STAY ON TOP OF THINGS AND STAY SAFE Ready to MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE to your organisational processes?

📢 Get ready for Positive Solutions HR’s... 📚 Book tip of the month! Dealing With People You Can’t Stand by Rick Kirschner (Yes, it’s a real book title and yes, we all need it!) Workplace relationships aren’t always perfect. We’ve all had that one annoying colleague who makes our blood pressure rise just a little 😬 However, here’s the secret... Mastering how to handle tricky personalities can make your life easier, streamline your role, create a productive, value-driven and (yes!) more enjoyable workplace, AND, is doable! 🥳 Take this great quote from the book as an example... “The best way to disarm a difficult person is to listen to them. Once they feel heard, they’re more likely to stop resisting and start cooperating.” It’s a brilliant reminder that by understanding and addressing the real issue (people not feeling heard), you improve the relationship whilst potentially boosting your entire team’s efficiency and morale too. Are you dealing with challenging personalities in the workplace? Would you love to discover the practical strategies you can put in place to get things back under control? Then please do drop me an email or head over to my website, I’d love to help👇 [email protected] https://lnkd.in/eaRzXGFb😊 #HRsolutions #HRLeadership #PostiveSolutionsHR #LeadWithConfidence #MakeLifeABeach

So you think you’re a good leader? Let’s find out! 🚗👜 This summer, I had the pleasure of going on an unforgettable road trip through Spain with my husband in our trusty off-roader. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and - most importantly, we knew we were headed in the right direction. However, it wasn’t just the stunning views or the perfect weather that made the trip a success. It was the confidence we felt thanks to great... wait for it... LEADERSHIP 👏 Our tour guide understood us, anticipated the challenges we could handle and gave us the freedom to push beyond our comfort zone. All whilst keeping us safely on track 🚚 And I couldn't help but think about how this relates so vitally to leadership in the workplace. Why? Because as leaders we’re not just responsible for making sure we're going in the right direction; we have to set our teams up to take bold steps, trust their abilities AND help them feel secure when facing new challenges. So, with all this in mind, I thought I'd set you a quick... 🔍 Leadership road trip quiz! Ready? then here goes... Do you... 1. Regularly check in with your team to understand their strengths and weaknesses? 2. Encourage people to step outside their comfort zone? 3. Ensure your team members feel safe to voice concerns or ideas with you? 4. Feel comfortable adapting your leadership style based on individual team needs? ⚡If you’re ticking all the boxes, well done! You’re already leading with empathy and foresight!👏 ⚡If you’re finding room for improvement, however, please don’t worry! Just like our little road trip, leadership is a journey. Simply acknowledging this is therefore a great first step towards building on your ability to listen and adjust and lead with PURPOSE 🎆 And, if that’s exactly the road trip you’re looking for, please do get in contact today to find out more about my People Leadership Coaching Services - I'd love to help!👇 [email protected] https://lnkd.in/eaRzXGFb #LeadershipCoaching #HRBestPractice #LeadershipTips

Want to have your say about the proposed IOM employment law changes❓ Here's your opportunity to join our teams event to put your views forward. Sign up via the eventbrite link below.

🥳 Get ready to celebrate because... Positive Solutions HR is 8 today, and I really want to take this opportunity to thank all my amazing clients who have supported me on this incredible journey. As always, a milestone is a brilliant time for self-reflection and re-evaluation. Over the years I’ve helped troubleshoot hiccups such as compliance and policy issues and guided many an organisation through complex restructuring. Learning and development, consultancy, PARTNERSHIP, I’ve always been a people person who loves solving problems and seeing others excel. For me, being an HR professional is therefore both a privileged and a rewarding role - I love every bit of it! If I were to be asked, however, if any particular aspect of HR really stood out for me, I would have to say leadership. Why? Because, to quote Michelle Obama, “People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.” It’s good to be reminded isn’t it? Great leadership really is the difference between an organisation that thrives and one that dives. To celebrate Positive Solutions HR’s 8th birthday, (alongside a nice glass of wine!), I’ve therefore decided to focus my next few posts on tips and reminders on leadership coaching and why it matters. However, if you’re in a leadership role and are looking for friendly, professional and knowledgeable support right now, click below to find out more about my People Leadership Coaching - I’d love to help 😊👇 [email protected] https://lnkd.in/eaRzXGFb #PositiveHR #HRtips #LeadershipCoaching

I saw this and it really resonated with me. So many Managers are not taking responsibility for performance management, but it's not their fault 😟 They haven't been trained in how to have the right (sometimes difficult) conversations or in how to implement the tools which are available to them. Performance Management is a positive thing although we normally view it as a negative, so change the mindsets🥸 Give your Managers the confidence to develop their people and create high performing teams by investing in their training and development.

🔍 People are fascinating, aren’t they? Complex, unpredictable, diverse! Being an HR consultant means I specialise in people - in particular, people management, which means I get to see management processes in action everyday - the good, the bad - and the ugly! One thing that really interests me, is values: Firstly, how easily they’re overlooked!😱 Secondly, how crucial it is to both give them some thought, AND, to make sure they’re clearly communicated to, and UNDERSTOOD by your people. Thirdly, that when values aren’t considered, for example, organisations are dishonest, problems inevitably arise - especially for any HR consultant caught in the middle 🫣 On top of all this, the Isle of Man is small, people talk and reputations damage quickly 😬 I therefore thought I’d put together a list of values that I believe all organisations should be implementing. What else would you love to add? 🌟 Integrity and honesty: ensuring all interactions are genuine and trustworthy. 🌟 Transparency and authenticity: fostering a culture of clear communication. 🌟 Professionalism and sensitivity: creating an environment where employees feel valued and heard. 🌟 Confidentiality: maintaining trust and discretion in all interactions. Maintaining values isn’t just about preventing issues - it’s about building a culture where people feel respected, engaged and empowered. If you’d love to know more on the subject, Dale Carnegie’s book ‘How to win friends and influence people,’ is one of my favourite resources.

📸 This is a quick post to give a huge shout out to the incredible Amoré D. for a brilliant, unforgettable photo shoot, and to branding consultant, Jacqueline Morrey Grace for pushing me to give it a go! Anyone who knows me will know I’m not so comfortable with having my photo taken 🫣 However, Jackie convinced me that Amore would capture - and help communicate, what matters most to me in my role as an HR consultant: 💫 Authenticity 💫 Professionalism 💫 Approachability And I couldn’t be happier with the results 😊 The shoot also got me thinking about the importance of clear communication systems when it comes to HR and your people. Because clear communication isn’t just ‘nice to have;’ it’s essential for building a workplace where everyone feels connected and valued. And what could be more important than having a team that understands and embraces your company’s vision? If you’re looking to strengthen your organisation by taking your communication and culture to the next level, please get in contact - I’d love to chat! ⬇️ [email protected] https://lnkd.in/eaRzXGFb And!

‼️ Attention all business owners! Have you ever thought about what happens when ↩️ ...your organisation’s HR processes are overlooked? 😬 Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend about the importance of social media analytics when it comes to measuring success 📈 Crucially, we chatted about how keeping an eye on the metrics helps you stay focused on the bigger picture: ✅ Ensuring clear brand communication and a healthy professional profile. And all this got me thinking about how often HR functions are taken for granted, particularly in smaller companies - and what this means for YOUR bigger picture... For example, 💪 Are you on top of your organisational culture? Are you monitoring and adapting to complaints or other employee feedback? 💪 How’s your record keeping? Is your payroll system well-oiled and are you keeping track of absences and staff turnover? 💪 Do you have processes in place to ensure costs don’t spiral out of control or that you’re not accidentally engaging in discrimination? Or... Are you at risk of taking all the above for granted then having to call in an HR professional when it all goes wrong? 📉 Because unfortunately, all too often that’s what I see. However, just as regularly reviewing your social media messaging helps you stay true to where you want to be, so too can HR ‘analytics’ provide vital data on your organisation’s health. And what all this means is: Please don’t wait for a crisis - instead, check out my People Partnership Packages ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e2vqezeC And learn how you can keep your organisation happy, high-performing and HEALTHY 😊 [email protected] https://lnkd.in/eaRzXGFb #healthyHR #HRtips
