Cannot recommend these guys enough. We are a start up social enterprise and they have been extremely generous with their time and patience in getting our payroll up and running. No question too stupid! So so thankful for their help. More...

I was looking for work with an immediate start in the East Midlands area and was called by Jordan Smith from Talk Staff Recruitment on the same day I applied online. He offered me temporary work within 2 days of our initial conversation and invited me to his offices in Belper to register with the company. The whole experience has been first class and Jordan has been available to speak to at all times by email and text. The company he found for me were friendly and I I have loved working for them whilst applying for full time positions. Many of my current co-workers have also worked through Jordan and everyone has spoken highly about him. If you are looking for work in Derbyshire or the surrounding areas, contact Talk Staff and ask for Jordan - excellent recruitment agent: polite, helpful and trustworthy - he genuinely wants to find you a good contract and work conditions.

They understand that people underpin future success, but unlocking your people’s potential is more challenging than ever.

A businesses culture is its personality. It’s the way that people not only behave within their roles, but it’s the way they describe the business to people outside your organisation.
It’s the answer you get from someone when you ask them “So, what is it like to work there?”
If the people in your business answer this positively then the chances are you have a good culture, and a positive workplace culture improves teamwork, morale, productivity, efficiency… basically all the key areas that everyone wants improved!
But, like most things culture can always be improved, and those improvements will directly affect your profit!

Selling your business as a best place to work is becoming as competitive, if not more competitive, as selling to your customers.
Unemployment rates are decreasing, talent pools are shrinking, and the job market is heavily favouring candidates.
The secret to attracting the right people to your business is just like attracting customers to it, differentiation.
In this case you are differentiating yourself from other businesses and showing top talent why they would want to work with you.
Our people consultants will be able to work with you to help your business stand out from the crowd and actively make people want to work with and for you.

Onboarding new employees is a high-pressure process for everyone involved.
You’ll need to roll out the welcome mat for them to ensure they feel like a valuable member of the team, while also making sure they’re prepared for their first days on the job, don’t forget to introduce them to everyone… but how will they remember everyone’s names?
The bottom line is that they’ll need to know everything about your business and how it operates, and they’ll want to know it all as quickly as possible in order to add value and become competent within their role.
You need processes in place that cover a wide range of topics and business aspects. Our people consultants are highly experienced at developing and implementing these processes to ensure that your new talent is excited about their first days within your business, not nervous.

High performing teams don’t happen by accident. They require a lot of groundwork, and If you want to create one you need to know what they require.
Common goals, values and behaviours are all key but how do you instil these within your business? Is communication open and honest both horizontally as vertically? Is there a supportive environment? Do people trust each other? Can performance be measured?
Trying to create a high performing team can leave you with more questions than answers, so it’s easy to see why they are rare.

Retaining talent within your business is critical to success, keeping your best employees helps customer and employee satisfaction, sales and ultimately it stops them going to your competitors.
Early 2019 39.7% of Brits revealed that they dislike their current job, which means that 39.7% of your workforce could be unhappy! While they may all have different reasons for this there are certainly key themes emerging that need to be addressed.
Salaries, colleagues, development opportunities, benefits and most importantly management. Afterall “People don’t leave bad jobs; they leave bad bosses”.

You need to be able to perform a full situational analysis of where you are, where you need to be and how you’re going to get there.
Our people consultants can help you every step of the way by addressing all of the key elements of a retention strategy.
