In contrast, career planning focuses on the employee, aiming to understand their career aspirations and creating a tailored roadmap to help them achieve their goals.

Employment Relations / Performance

Employers often face time-consuming and distracting challenges when dealing with employee performance or behaviour issues. These complexities can be risky and difficult to resolve independently. We offer experienced guidance and on-the-ground support to help navigate these situations efficiently.

Onboarding

Onboarding encompasses the process of welcoming and integrating a new employee into a company. It involves familiarising them with the organisation's culture, values, and policies, providing necessary training and resources, and introducing them to colleagues and key stakeholders. By guiding new hires through this process, companies aim to set them up for success, enabling them to quickly adapt, contribute effectively, and thrive within the team and broader organisational environment.

Case Study

Transforming Workforce Management at a Pre-cast Concrete Company

Kristen, an experienced HR consultant, collaborated with a mid-sized pre-cast concrete company seeking to revamp their workforce management strategy. The company, struggling with inconsistencies in wage determination and skill assessment, recognised the need for a thorough review and overhaul of their existing practices.

Challenges

Ad-hoc wage decisions

The company's approach to setting starting rates and determining pay increases lacked consistency, resulting in anomalies where junior employees sometimes earned comparably to senior staff.

Lack of transparency

Employees were unsure about their earning potential and the criteria for career progression, leading to dissatisfaction and uncertainty within the workforce.

Skill misalignment

There was a need to align employee skills with wage levels to ensure fair compensation and incentivise skill development and career advancement.

Solution & Results

Comprehensive analysis

Kristen conducted a thorough review of the company's workforce, analysing skill levels and associated wages across all roles. This included reviewing average hours worked over a three-month period and benchmarking against market trends.

Creation of wage bands

Based on the data analysis and market trends, Kristen established transparent wage bands for different roles within the company. These bands provided clear guidelines for starting rates, pay increases, and career progression. The establishment of wage bands ensured fair and consistent compensation across all roles, eliminating disparities and promoting equity within the workforce.

Competency matrix development

In collaboration with department heads, Kristen developed competency matrices aligned with the wage bands. These matrices outlined the specific skills and qualifications required for employees to progress within their roles and earn higher wages.

Enhanced transparency

The implementation of the wage and competency matrix provided employees with a clear understanding of their earning potential and the pathways for career advancement. This transparency fostered trust and motivation among the workforce.

Managerial insights and development plans

The matrices not only empowered employees but also provided managers with valuable insights into their teams' skill levels and development needs. This facilitated the creation of tailored training and development plans to nurture employee growth and enhance performance.

Conclusion

Through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, Kristen successfully transformed the company's workforce management practices, creating a transparent and equitable system for wage determination and career progression. The implementation of wage bands and competency matrices not only empowered employees but also provided managers with valuable insights to drive talent development and organisational growth. This case study highlights the importance of data-driven decision-making and transparency in fostering a motivated and skilled workforce.
