HR’s impact on businesses is much underestimated in ourHRpeople’s opinion. HR doesn’t just keep a business in check, it can actively help it grow.
Our team of HR consultants have all been personally responsible for ideating, researching and implementing bespoke strategies for their clients which have directly boosted profits and efficiency.
Here’s six ways in which an HR professional can help a business grow, from ourHRpeople’s Area Director for Bournemouth, Andy Hover:

Hiring the wrong people can lead to high turnover, decreased productivity, and cultural misalignment. An HR professional can help develop effective recruitment and retention strategies, including culture development, employer branding, competitive compensation and benefits packages, and employee development programs.
Developing Effective HR Processes:
HR professionals can implement streamlined HR processes, policies, and systems tailored to the company’s needs, ensuring efficiency and compliance, especially as companies scale up.
Maintaining a Positive Company Culture:
An HR professional can assess and enhance company culture, promoting values alignment, employee engagement, and a positive work environment through various methods like employee surveys and workshops.
Ensuring Compliance:
With expertise in employment laws and regulations, HR professionals can conduct audits, provide training, and implement policies to mitigate legal risks and ensure compliance as businesses grow.
Change Management:
Supporting the transition to new ways of doing things, providing training, and encouraging innovation from employees help involve and support them through any changes brought on by business growth.
Strategic HR Planning:
HR professionals provide strategic guidance on initiatives aligned with the company’s overall business objectives and growth plans, encompassing Talent Attraction and Retention, Effective HR Processes, Compliance, Positive Company Culture, and Change Management.
