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.

Find out more about leadership.

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!

Purpose

Understanding their purpose in an organisation is key to a productive employee. Ask yourself: do your people clearly understand their roles and responsibilities? Are they encouraged to make a contribution and work with others?

Progress

People value being involved, listened to and encouraged to develop their skills. Regular, one-to-one meetings with line managers are a great way to systematically and objectively assess employee performance and build their competence.

Office setting and equipment

Let’s face it, not everyone can afford a slide next to the staircase or a nap pod in their office.

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.

Mark Lloyd – Founder – Precision Resource Group

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.

Jo Ascough – Head of People

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

Our staff are very important to us; we recognised that we needed to do more to show our commitment to them. In addition, we wanted to reduce the administrative burden from the HR team. Working with PES has achieved all this and more!

PES collaborated with us from the start to deliver a really good flexible benefits package, tailored to our specific needs. They continue to support our HR team and employees. It’s refreshing to have a company by your side continuing to give great personal service after launching such a big project.

Kim Allen – HR Manager

I know the employee benefits scheme is in capable hands, leaving me free to concentrate on the business while my employees get top class support from PES.

Steve Barnes – Managing Director

The transition has been seamless. The PES team have been beyond brilliant. It was quite a daunting prospect to take on our own benefits scheme having been part of a bigger organisation for so long. But our account managers have been on hand to answer every question.

PES are a breath of fresh air. What matters most of all for us with our suppliers is an open, easy relationship. That’s exactly what we have with PES. They’re like an extension of our team

Mia Samaha – HR Manager

We have worked with PES for a number of years and their helpful and pragmatic approach to some tricky situations has been invaluable. What is refreshingly different about Cathy, Lisa and Pam is that they are as far away from the fence as is needed to help a SME like Winford Ford. The value is having them sift through the flack to give us a clear solution with no fluff. In addition to the great advice to equip us to cope with the day-to-day trials and tribulations of dealing with people, they have provided fantastic line manager training to enable us to upskill our managers and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Justin Taylor – Winford Ford

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

The friendly reassuring team at PES have been providing HR support to The Solicitors’ Benevolent Association for some years. This year we have been focusing on our staff, looking at how we can better support and challenge them. The guidance and structure PES have provided has been invaluable in designing an approach will help us get the best from our team.

D’Arcy Myers – CEO

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.

Joe Nisbet – MD

PES has provided us with a great combination of expertise and flexibility. This was vital in helping us manage a TUPE transfer which was initially straightforward but took a rapid and unexpected turn into much more complex territory

Ian – Finance Director

PES provide our HR support and Pam’s excellent, no-nonsense, thorough, professional and knowledgeable approach instills confidence and peace of mind that we are doing things right for the business and for our most important asset – the team. Highly recommended.

Darren Clare – CEO

PES have been fundamental in ensuring that we make the right decisions for our business and employees. They have also delivered more general HR training and development to our Managers, resulting in them being more confident and better equipped to deal with any employee relations issues.

Stephen Towers – CEO

PES have taken time to get to know us and offer practical, relevant advice. They’ve helped us strengthen our policies & procedures and supported us through a difficult situation. It’s a real comfort to know we can rely on them.

PES’s contribution has proved invaluable, which is no mean feat given the geographical scale of our business. Service has been excellent with the resource available when we need it, at a competitive price, and delivering all the areas agreed.

Mark Thurgood – Operations Director

PES has provided Brinsea with HR support and advice for a number of years. Initially a full audit took place, but we were so impressed with the service we received that we signed up to a retainer.

Ian Pearce – Managing Director

PES have provided a seamless childcare voucher scheme to us for a number of years. Efficient, friendly, responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Shaun Briddon – Account Executive

PES was able to set up our childcare scheme exceptionally quickly and management of the process was flawless. Very straightforward for both the employer and employee.

Yvonne Goodgame – HR Officer

Cathy Monaghan provided us with excellent advice and support during a recent organisation restructuring. She was professional and very pragmatic.
