Our Approach

It's pretty simple: an engaged workforce will deliver your plans. Unless they are engaged and upskilled then however good the business plan and stragegy is, it will not be delivered.

We fundamentally believe that the best way to drive Business Improvement and good business management is through enabling the workforce to deliver outstanding performance. We therefore focus on the people within the organisation - your most powerful resource.

The FD of a recent Peirce Parry client commented

"I used to think take £100k off the cost line and you get £100k improved profit. How wrong was I! The real result is that you lose good people and create a negative impact on motivation, quality of service, repeat business and reduced profit. In our recent work we have proved that an 80k investment in people has delivered a motivated workforce and an improved profit of £1.5 million."

The same FD also revealed

"We had lost our skills base and culture. If you walked through the organisation in 2006 the corridor speak was expressed in terms of 'they' and 'them', referring of course to the management team. The feedback that I now get tells me that the culture of this organisation is now one where we have confident, competent people who love working here. Corridor speak is expressed in terms of 'I', 'We' and 'Us'. People are engaged with the Vision and Values and understand the importance they play in the success of the company."

By developing the talent potential within an organisation, an organisation will achieve its goals. Without sufficient focus on engagement and development of staff you risk losing momentum and optimum results. Don't just take our word for it; research by Gallup, World Economic Forum, Corporate Leadership Council and IPD consistently reveals that the primary reason why employees leave an organisation are:

• Lack of accountability / responsibility = 24%
• Lack of opportunity for challenge, learning & growth = 20%
• Lack of recognition = 19%

Focusing on people produces the following results:

• Empowerment/Motivation - productivity increased by over 36%
• Competency levels increased
• Improved staff retention (costs per head for staff turnover = £8k - £36k per person)
• Talent pool increased whilst succession gaps reduced
• Quicker & greater realisation of corporate goals and project benefits
• Increased return on investment from training
• Reduced costs associated with unsuccessful or extended probation periods
