Annual Appraisals – RIP

The Helens

At ComplexHR, we’ve been saying it for years. Infact, we’ve been saying it to all our clients since we started our business 5 years ago.

Annual Appraisals should be put out to pasture. Or at least be given a comfy pair of slippers and a good (long) book to read.

If there’s ever been a time to focus on how we can adapt our skills to ensure optimum performance, it’s now. And that’s what continual performance evaluation helps to achieve.

ComplexHR provide clients with a tailored Performance Evaluation Process (“PEP”) which enables them to check-in with their employees on a regular basis. These catch ups take no longer than 10 minutes and ensure objectives are on track and adjustments are made where needed.

Like anything*, it’s really quite straight forward if you have the right tools. Which our clients have.

Our PEP ensures employees are being challenged, meeting realistic targets and progressing in their career and managers are confident in the ability of their staff. Win-win.

If you’d like to find out more about our PEP, please give us a call or email us helen.manson@complexhr.co.uk

*absolutely not applicable to any form of flat pack furniture. Or baking flap jack.

Testimonials

WE Love! our clients! x

I first discovered the Helen’s through their really warm and informative socials. I was immediately attracted to their companies values and professionalism so when a complex ad hoc HR issue arose I didn’t hesitate to reach out. And I am so glad I did. Every question was answered promptly, even outside of work hours. I felt informed and supported. They were experts on the subject and I would not only use them again but highly recommend to other businesses. Thank you the Helen’s.

The Helens have been instrumental in helping to ensure our staff at RLWC21 are treated with fairness and consistency. Their advice is timely, accurate and tailored to our business. They’re also great fun to work with.

Stephen BrownChief Operating Officer, RLWC 2021

I've now worked with ComplexHR on two different occasions. When I have needed HR support, they have been really quick to help and both times it has been so helpful. They have given me so much peace of mind that I am doing everything correctly. It's a great resource to be able to tap into as a small business.

The Helens actually make HR very easy as opposed to ‘complex’. Being approachable, flexible and supportive in every way has helped our business accelerate the growth of our teams with as little disruption as possible.

The ‘Two Helens’ from ComplexHR were asked to curate and deliver a session for our Board on how to handle complaints and grievances, not just from a technical perspective, but also from a people perspective, understanding how to treat everyone with dignity and respect, even though the situation could be complex and sensitive. The session delivered was engaging, informative and whilst the topic was clearly serious, we had real elements of fun in it too. Our Board agreed unanimously that the session had improved both their knowledge and skills in dealing with people issues going forward.
