We are certain that when you were dreaming about running your own business, those dreams didn’t include handling difficult people issues, which inevitably can be an actual nightmare. Despite this your people are your biggest asset, and, if you can keep them engaged and motivated, they will have a significant positive impact on your success.
It is important to ensure your HR practices are up to date and you and your leaders have the know-how to manage employee relations and communication confidently. This, in turn will improve connectivity with your people and ensure they are invested in helping you achieve your goals.
People Connections is an independent Human Resource consultancy that helps SME’s to introduce and manage people practices effectively. Specialising in ‘first time’ HR for businesses who are going through growth and/or transformational change. Our priority is to work with business owners to lighten their workload by introducing HR practices to the business, and supporting with the HR administration.

Covid 19
The world is currently trying to recover from a pandemic, and we have had to take action,
both personally, and in business, which is completely alien to most of us. This has resulted in businesses having to rethink ways of working across the globe.
It is likely to affect working practices for a long time to come. Flexible resourcing will continue to be needed, to maintain essential services. If your staff are already able to work remotely, then you may be wondering whether to make the current arrangements more permanent, to keep people safe and to reduce your overhead costs. You may also be having to consider how to restructure or reduce your operations to safeguard your business.
With extensive experience in restructuring, we can help you assess your current working terms and implement any temporary or permanent changes you may be considering.
