Development Plans for 2027 feels like it should be far away... It isn’t!

If your team’s development plans haven’t been reviewed since the start of the year (or don’t exist) now is the time to get them sorted.

šŸ’­ What skills does your business need in 2027 that it doesn’t have today?Ā 
šŸ’­ Which people have the potential you haven’t invested in yet?Ā 
šŸ’­ Where are the gaps that are quietly costing you?

Development isn’t a luxury, it is an essential investment. It’s how you retain the people worth keeping, build the bench strength your business needs and stay ahead of your competitors.

It is time to review the development plans, have the conversations and commit to progression your profitability will pay you back in dividends.

šŸ’¬ When did you last review your team’s development plans? Honest answers only.

FRIDAY ROUND-UP IS HERE šŸ”„

This week has been a wild one! Mainly based from home, 34 calls, 3 Board meetings and 2 training sessions, this is our only photo from the week šŸ™ƒ we promise to better next week!

We have had some really exciting meetings this week - from clients wanting to grow, clients giving the green light for development and progression frameworks through to supporting new Values being launched. What. A. Week.

We promise to get more photos of our travels next week, but for now, here’s the two Blicks off to a client meeting earlier today!

Free coffee. Genuinely. ā˜•ļø

Book a meeting with us between 2nd and 4th September to talk about:
🪪 Digitalising your Right to Work checks
or
šŸ“‘ Upgrading your Contracts of Employment

And we will send you a coffee voucher. No catch!

Just a proper conversation about two things that quietly protect your business, and a decent flat white on us.

Why these two? šŸ¤”

Because Right to Work checks done badly carry a penalty per worker and most employers are still doing them on paper.

Because Contracts written three years ago are not built for the employment law landscape we are now in.

Because getting both right takes hours, not months and most business owners have never been shown how simple it can be.

…And because coffee is pretty amazing. 🤩

Drop us a comment or a DM and let’s get you booked in and we will send you a voucher! Offer closes Friday. ā˜•ļø

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.

šŸ“°Ā 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!Ā šŸ˜Ž

šŸ’¬ Is your Right to Work process digital, paper-based, or honestly a bit of a mystery? šŸ•µļø

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? šŸ¤”

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!

šŸ’¬ Is feedback working in your business, or does it still feel uncomfortable?
