Compliance is the foundation of transformational People Strategy and we are BIG fans of squeaky clean compliance.

You can’t build a brilliant people strategy on shaky ground and nothing says shaky ground like a Right to Work check that wouldn’t survive a Home Office audit!

That’s why we’ve made digital Right to Work checks our standard for our retainer clients. And here’s the bit most employers don’t know:

🪪 Do it digitally - you (usually) never have to check again. One check, fully verified and takes 5 minutes.

📰 Do it on paper - best practice says you should be auditing every year. That is time, business admin and a risk your business doesn’t need.

Swapping to digital isn’t just smarter. It’s one less thing to worry about, permanently removed from your compliance to-do list, if it was there in the first place! That’s what making compliance sexy looks like.

Smart businesses don’t just do compliance. They do it brilliantly. Compliance is cool! 😎

💬 Is your Right to Work process digital, paper-based, or honestly a bit of a mystery? 🕵️

Creating succession plans can feel like a HUGE mountain to climb, but what if we told you that asking the right questions in your formal 1:1s can easily bridge the gap? 🤔

Schedule your 1:1s and discuss development goals and career aspirations with your team. Make training accessible and build key initiatives in the year that champion people’s ideas into practice.

You can then create wonderful succession touch points like mentoring, rising stars programmes, progression opportunities… The list goes on. 🥳

Unsure where you should start? That’s what we are here for! 🤩✨

The best feedback doesn’t (and shouldn’t) wait for the quarterly or annual reviews. ✨

In-the-moment feedback builds trust, fixes problems early and shows your people you’re invested in their growth and not just their output.

It’s one of the simplest culture shifts I think leaders and managers can make. And one of the most powerful - passing great feedback straight away, not sitting on it.

Better feedback. Better results. Better productivity aligned with your culture. That’s what a great people strategy delivers!

💬 Is feedback working in your business, or does it still feel uncomfortable?

What is a people strategy and why does it belong in your business plan? 🙌

It’s the part of your plan that answers who delivers the growth you’ve forecast…

Three questions I am asking clients before the end of the year or the next financial year:

1. What roles does the plan actually need — not the ones you have?
2. Who’s ready, and who needs developing?how are we unlocking progression?
3. What breaks, doesn’t work well or reduces a service if a key person leaves?

Answer those and hiring stops being a reaction. It becomes a decision. Viola!

exhilHRate is a strategic HR consultancy specialising in people strategy for SMEs that are growing fast with ambitious goals. 🤩

Is it time your business plan has a people chapter? (The answer is yes 😉).

This week on Amy’s Adventures...

📍Claire Nash Solicitors’ beautifully upgraded meeting room filled with artwork from a local dementia charity their team supports. Made by the people the charity helps. A cause close to my client’s heart and honestly, stunning work. 🎨

🎤 Then a guest talk from Tamzin on neurodiversity - 5 brilliant, practical steps to make team meetings genuinely inclusive. Simple changes, huge impact. Taking these with me.

🍸 Topped off with a lunch meeting with Jane - strategy, future plans, a birthday and a lot of laughter. (The best kind of meeting.)

Values in action. Inclusion done properly. People at the centre of it all.

This is the work I love. ❤️

What a blast at a client’s Annual Conference! My favourite quote so far is ‘Risk-taking has to be part of your agenda.’

What strikes me every time I’m in a room like this with different businesses, different sectors, different sizes: everyone is carrying the same weight. Business rates. NI contributions. Rising Living Wage. The pressure is universal.

But what made my HR heart sing today was this.
A People Rule in a family business over 100 years old: We don’t say ‘we’ve tried that before.’

In this climate, People Strategy and innovation isn’t optional and creating a culture where risk is encouraged is one of the most commercially important things a business can do.

And now I’m going to sleep and hibernate for three weeks! 😂🫠
