She has a natural ability to build strong, genuine relationships, making collaboration effortless and enjoyable. From start to finish, Gillian maintained clear communication, met every deadline, and exceeded our expectations. The recommendations presented were top notch and resulted in meaningful change.

Internal Review

We begin with reviewing everything in place at your organization, related to the consulting area we are focusing on. To gain this holistic picture, we will review your policies, procedures and practice and also participate in internal review meetings with members of your HR and Leadership team to understand your current state. We also focus on understanding your culture, goals, and challenges, ensuring that we tailor solutions to your unique organizational needs.

Step 1

External Review

We complement our internal review with findings from external research, benchmarking industry standards and analyzing market trends relevant to the HR area. Our intent for this external review is to share an understanding of wise practices in the external environment and opportunities to inform the recommendations.

Step 2

Listening
Strategies

Where it fits your organization and the work we are doing, we implement listening strategies to understand internal perspectives and gather diverse insights. This could take the form of qualitative conversations or quantitative survey and analysis, depending on your needs and what would work for your organization. The feedback we collect from these internal voices provides critical input that shapes our recommendations, ensuring they are grounded in real organizational experiences and aligned with your culture and goals.

Step 3

Recommendations

We will compile all of the outputs from the prior steps into key themes and specific actions. The objective is to make recommendations to close any gaps identified, share insights, define what success could look like, and ultimately give you actionable solutions.
