We help with three core areas to support your organisation, People, Skills and Growth
Based in York, GPC is an innovative people-consulting company delivering impact for businesses across the UK and internationally. We focus on the ‘people’ aspects of growth; helping companies to identify the most effective approaches to attract, recruit, develop and retain talent and the skills needed for growth.
Our highly effective diagnostic tool, the Talent Development Maturity Index™ (TDMI) helps organisations to take a look inside themselves and enables us to work together to implement solutions to problems, not just symptoms.
People
Work with us to explore your approach to recruitment and let us show you that there is a better way.
Most organisations are looking for the Impossible Candidate; that person with the experience, the qualifications, but who is also cheap to hire. The issue here is that these people simply do not exist. The consequence is that vacancies can stay open for a long time meaning that growth is restricted; or recruitment budgets can be blown on the salary of the ‘right’ person.
But there is another way; by understanding the skills needs of the business and implementing a strategic approach to recruitment and internal progression, businesses can take their first step to what we call Sustainable Employment – where the investment in recruiting and developing the right people pays dividends in performance, retention, reduced recruitment costs and alignment of culture.
Skills
Work with us to explore the development opportunities that will unlock individual potential and accelerate growth.
Most organisations tell us that having the right skills in the business is critical to their ability to deliver for customers and to grow. Skills can be brought into the business in many ways, and it need not always be through formal training or by recruiting skilled people in.
Training is, however, frequently reactive and compliance-based which reduces the team’s ability to adapt to new challenges, solve problems for themselves and to grow into new opportunities. By understanding the current and future skills needs of the business, GPC can help you to develop and progress existing staff.
These people may not have exactly the skills you need right now, but they know your business, they know your products and services and they know your customers; so invest in their skills to get the best people you can – the ones who are already there! When the time is right, and you need to expand, we can also support by showing you how to create innovative and effective recruitment strategies to access the people that fit with your business.
Growth
Work with us to unlock growth through effective development of management capability and processes.
Growth is not just about expanding your organisation in terms of scale and volume but utilising strategies to develop your people, effective resource planning and placement through efficient structures and processes to achieve cohesive results. GPC can help develop strategic analysis and planning to help convert ambitions to actions.
Time and again we see companies grow in headcount, with individuals promoted to manage teams – frequently without the right skills or experience to manage those people.
Effective management is the key to productivity, resource allocation, operational effectiveness, personal development of team members and, crucially, quality. Ineffective management can lead to mediocrity being built in to processes and performance – we can help prevent this.
