ISSUE SPOTLIGHT: RECRUITMENT & HR PEOPLE MUST BE FOCUS OF HR
Your People Matter(s), a HR consultancy based in Mawsley, celebrates two years in business in January. The company is run by Mary
Dovey (pictured) who has more than 20 years of experience in HR roles and specialises in change management, helping businesses manage the more complex HR issues such as re-structures, redundancies and TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment). She is also a qualified workplace mediator and can be drafted in to help with conflicts amongst team members or boards that need resolving. Mary set up Your People
Matter(s) after her brother had a double transplant and needed support before and after his operation, as did her parents. Mary wanted to spend more time with her family and started her own business. This meant she could use her skills to help businesses with their HR and change management
needs as well as spend more time with those closest to her. Mary said: “HR is all about people
and whilst you do have to think practically and legally when it comes to managing change and risk, you can’t forget that you’re dealing with people with thoughts and emotions and family at home. “Each person reacts
to change in a different way and wants to be treated with respect. It sounds simple, but many businesses are so involved in
whatever the change is, they
can forget that. Having an outside person come in who ‘gets’ both sides and can help manage the change from the start allows for a smoother transition, reduces impact on productivity and avoids HR problems afterwards.” Mary is offering Chamber
members a free 30-minute review of their HR needs.

IT’S CRUCIAL TO GET THE BALANCE RIGHT
HR and Recruitment – the conflict of internal versus external, how can they be resolved so everyone wins? According to recruitment experts
Johnson Underwood the question of, ‘do I recruit from within or use external resources?’ is one that crops up repeatedly. Managing director Carol Johnson
said: “Recruiting from within is often seen as a money saving exercise. Companies strongly believe they can find the right candidates and it will cost them very little in time and resource. Job boards seem a saviour at first, until the recruitment process starts. Sometimes they get lucky. “Unfortunately, what can happen
is new candidates leave not long after being appointed mainly because the recruitment process was rushed or not robust enough due to time issues and internal operational factors, the role has been over or undersold and the new recruit is left feeling frustrated, with nowhere to go. “What is the answer that sees
both internal and external working together successfully? Our advice is to use a recruitment agency you can talk to, that you trust, who believes in retention not a quick fee fix and that offers preferred terms
TALENT POOL TOOL IS MAKING A SPLASH
SK Energy has taken advantage of EasyWeb’s latest offer exclusively for Chamber members – a free Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for 12 months. SK Energy will be able to make full use of
EasyWeb’s mobile friendly careers site, which can fully integrate with Indeed, The Job Centre and all their social media accounts. Using the ATS, they are able to build a talent pool (while ticking the GDPR box) and deliver a great candidate experience. Currently in the implementation
on rates that are affordable for your organisation. “A great recruitment agency are
experts in their field, dealing with people day in and day out they can very quickly ascertain what sorts of personalities and skill sets will fit specific roles. “Recruitment agencies have
access to vast pools of candidates. Where Johnson Underwood are different, is that we meet both employers and employees in order to gain all legal compliance documents and to be as certain as possible that a good working match and retention will ensue.”

phase, managing consultant Reemesh Patel explains: “The implementation of EasyWeb ATS is going well, we are pleased with the results so far and we are looking forward to getting started. The team are quick to respond and happy to make any tweaks that we need. When we were first shown the system it was easy to make a decision instantly.

It’s a system that can ensure a great candidate experience for SMEs looking to grow in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.
