Our People

About InvolveHR

Integrated HR Solutions

Our beliefs translate into a requirement for tailored HR solutions in the following critical areas:

Human Capital Strategy - an integrated approach to finding, managing, developing and rewarding staff, based on the specific needs and objectives of the business

Role Clarity - the optimal design of the organisation's structure, role families and roles to assure the achievement of business objectives and clarity as to individual responsibilities and performance expectations

Strategic Alignment - the achievement of strategic results by aligning organisational strategies to individual performance objectives

Capability - the assignment of people to roles which best match their knowledge, skills

and competencies

Rewards - the allocation of rewards to teams and individuals based on their performance and contribution to business results

Our Beliefs

We believe that business success is fundamentally dependent on the quality and effectiveness

of an organisation's Human Capital. Indeed, today there exists strong independent research

which confirms the direct links between satisfied and engaged employees, high productivity,

satisfied and loyal customers and ultimately, superior financial and operating performance.

We also believe that staff expect and are entitled to good management. We know from

independent research that among the most important drivers of satisfaction and engagement

are the employees' positive perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the company's HR

programmes, particularly in relation to:

Performance Management - the extent to which employees understand what is expected of them (role clarity, accompanied by clear and measurable objectives) and believe that their performance is assessed in a fair, objective and consistent way

Capability Development - employees' perceptions of the support and opportunities provided by the company to enable them to develop the knowledge, skills and competencies needed for success
