On-going Support

Smaller organisations often cannot afford or justify full-time HR internal resources. This is where STILLHR fills the gap in a cost-effective way. We are here when you need help but do not cost you when you don’t – all the benefits without the overheads.

STILLHR provides an ongoing, contract based HR Advice and Support Service to smaller organisations.

This high quality, confidential and on-tap service provides expert guidance on operational HR matters for those smaller organisations which are often without any internal HR specialist.

We take time to become familiar with the organisation: its purpose, structure, ethos, policies etc. and usually liaising directly with the Chief Executive, or designated senior manager, to become your outsourced HR function.

The extent of the services are clearly defined and agreed upon with the organisation, then provided on an annually renewable contractual basis.

Our service includes:

• advising on relevant strategic issues
• providing advice on a wide range of HR issues including recruitment and selection
• employment law
• updating contracts of employment
• absence management
• capability and grievance issues and
• other employment policies and procedures

The service is provided through telephone, email and personal visits to the client where necessary, for example to deal with complex grievance or disciplinary matters.

 

“Janine is a very experienced HR professional with significant expertise in change management, strategic and operational HR issues, restructuring and employee relations issues in the not-for-profit sector.

I engaged Janine as an external consultant to help me with an organisational restructure process and provide me with the required advice I needed so that process is compliant with our internal requirements but also that with good practices in the sector and relevant legal requirements.

Janine’s advice was extremely insightful, relevant and valuable in enabling us to manage the process effectively and achieving the right outcomes. I found Janine’s contributions to be very professional and timely. Janine has an engaging and responsive style, which made her contributions all the more helpful during a complex change management process”.

“Robert is perceptive and sensitive to the needs of the individual and the group whilst at the same time challenging us to reach the goals we set at the start of the process. 

Robert’s expertise in HR as well as mentoring and coaching has been invaluable.”

“UNISON has engaged Robert Still of STILLHR to undertake a wide range of facilitation, mentoring, consultancy, training & development initiatives over the last six years, and we could not recommend him and the quality of his work more highly. Working with managers at all levels – senior management, line managers and non executive directors – Robert has made a huge contribution to management development across the union. The evaluations of his programmes are consistently excellent and Robert is respected and trusted throughout the organisation. He is highly perceptive and personable, project manages work with speed and precision and invests time to fully understand our needs before embarking on any new commission. We intend to continue to extend our working relationship with Robert and it is therefore with some trepidation that I recommend him to others!”

Katherine Bassey, HR Development Manager, UNISON
