Pay

For most people, pay is an obvious reward. Pay should be dependent on skills and experience, but deciding what your employees are worth is no walk in the park. It takes careful consideration to come up with a financial package that’s fair and motivates people to deliver.

Values

Employers who are committed to creating a positive employee experience will ensure that their underlying values put people at the heart of what they do.

Find out more about values.

Leadership

There are many styles of leadership including transformational, values-based, spiritual and transactional. Leaders have to be able to adapt their style to suit the person they manage.

One thing’s for sure – disengaged and unhappy staff can be a very contagious issue. This is why positive leadership is so important.

Culture

Organisational culture is made up of values, beliefs, assumptions and behaviours. Each organisation has its own mix of these, making it unique.

Internal communications

A great benefits scheme deserves to be shouted about. That’s why we include employee communications in your happypeople package.

Research shows that the main reason why most employers offer benefits is to attract and engage talent. Yet a staggering 70% of employers struggle to communicate their benefits packages effectively. Quite a paradox!

Our Customers

PES has gone above and beyond in providing an employee benefits solution that really matches our needs. happypeople helps us to stand out as an employer of choice. The fact that they could help in so many other areas has been a real bonus. It’s unusual to find a supplier who can cater so well for the needs of a business like ours.

The PES team have taken full responsibility for managing our data. For example, we recently switched to a new outsourced payroll provider and PES were integral to making that work. Their project management support has been second to none.

PES have provided us with a number of excellent outplacement workshops for our colleagues as they were going through a difficult time with us. Sessions were very well received and Lisa Trent who delivered the workshops was professional and pragmatic in her approach, tailoring each session to the differing needs of the individuals and groups.

Ruth Ovens – People Director

We needed a system that provides competitive core and voluntary benefits now, and will grow with us as our reward strategy evolves. happypeople absolutely fits the bill, offering a strong range of benefits, including the all-important shopping perks, and the flexibility to add many more. It’s also very engaging and easy to use. The fact that online shopping is included in the price is a real bonus.

Richard Roberts – Director

PES really listened to us. They are personable, approachable and creative. They don’t have a fixed way of doing things – they adjusted their suggestions as they learned more about our needs, rather than trying to sell us an off-the-shelf solution.

I cannot recommend the services of PES highly enough. Over the last couple of years PES, and in particular, Pam, have supported the Taunton Heritage Trust through an organisational restructure and a couple of extremely challenging HR issues. The outcome has always been a positive one and the clear, concise advice received has been invaluable and very much appreciated.

Karen White – Chief Officer

As the CEO of The UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres I am delighted to recommend PES. We have been working with them since 2009 and they have been great support across the years, at the end of the phone just when we need them. We only need HR periodically, for example helping with employment contracts and occasional advice, and colleagues at PES have been excellent and available to help. We pay a monthly retainer which keeps the costs down for our charity. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Dr Penny Fidler – CEO

PES, Cathy Monaghan in particular, has provided me with outstanding support and service. She has been instrumental in giving me the confidence to drive the HR strategy for my organisation whilst providing me with invaluable coaching and mentoring. PES is extremely professional, with a high level of expertise and able to quickly understand the issues their clients face. I really cannot recommend the PES team highly enough and can’t thank them enough for the help and support they have given me personally.

Heather Magee – HR Director

On the end of the phone’ advice from PES has been an invaluable sounding-board for Jongor, assisting us on a wide variety of day-to-day HR issues. This is all underpinned by their more structured involvement in our wider HR and business strategy. I would recommend them to any SME that wanted to outsource their HR function.
