A fast changing business world demands a fluid response to the
challenges it presents. Companies spend significant sums of money
working with partners to develop business strategies that analyse
their market, products and customers – and result in a communications
plan to launch them.
However, people are the key element in this process – and are very
often either ignored or glossed over. Which is a huge flaw. Because
without the team to power it, your business investment lacks effect.
At peoplehub, we believe that a successful business strategy will always
be linked to a successful people strategy – and we put people at the centre
of everything we do. Because whatever the size, complexity or life-stage
of the business we’re working with, we know that whatever needs to be
delivered, it is the people within that business that will make it happen.
And when they are equipped with the right skills to do the job, then we
call it peopleware.
The keys to peopleware are versatility and agility – having a depth of skill
and expertise along with the ability to collaborate and be empowered
across multiple disciplines.
At peoplehub, we build peopleware.
People. At the centre of everything we do.

People capability
Enhancing capability is much more than just training – it is about allowing
people to be agents for change. Empowering them, giving them purpose
- and therefore boosting their loyalty. Individual growth becomes possible,
team performance multiplies and a cycle of continual development
is created that helps both the individual and the business.
People processes
A people strategy can’t be delivered without robust ways of working.
Standard operating procedures need to be in place – and we make
sure they are.
In summary, we believe it is possible to future-proof your business, starting
with the most precious commodity you have, your people. By building
a culture that encourages versatility – essentially adding peopleware
to hardware and software – employees can quickly grow to reach
their potential, in the process helping their businesses to grow and
secure their place in the future economy.
And at peoplehub, we think that’s something that every smart
business deserves.
For today. For tomorrow. For the future.
We’re single minded about our mission to put people at the centre
of everything we do. And to ensure that every initiative delivers that,
we use a model that focuses our strategy in a very clear way.
Purpose
We understand that the core purpose for a business strategy may well
be to deliver profit. But the purpose of a people strategy is motivation.
People need to connect with their business – because what it stands
for and what it does are the real reasons they work there.
Performance culture
Without purpose, the right culture for success can exist only by chance.
Creating this successfully takes time, consultation, engagement
and careful monitoring. It relies on business leaders having a clear
understanding of people’s true motivations to succeed – and giving
them the right environment and tools to do so.
This isn’t about simple rewards – pay or promotion, for example
– for these will not deliver the required culture. People need purpose,
a degree of autonomy – and the opportunity to develop personally.
Thus giving them the will to achieve at the highest level, at what
motivates them within the business.
Building a people strategy. Our 4 P’s.

We’re focused on the priorities of businesses in a fast-changing commercial
environment – and working with them to provide bespoke solutions to meet
their needs. Our clients talk about the level of insight we generate before
designing our programmes – and the co-creation process we then employ
to develop them.
Before we deliver, we’re recognised for building emotional engagement
with people – allowing us to challenge both delegates and stakeholders
to a high level. And then focus on transferring and embedding learning,
while measuring success and ROI against what is important to our client,
not to ourselves.
Our way of working is based on gaining insight (through an audit of the 4 P’s,
employee and customer interviews, field visits and stakeholder engagement)
to drive co-creation, delivery and execution.
We provide a true partnership that places your people at the centre of your
business, allowing you to unlock the potential of the leaders who will drive
it forward and ensure its future competitiveness. Using three platforms that
will power that transformation.
The peoplehub way of working
To achieve people-centred business transformation, you need to create
the right culture in you business. And to do that, you need to truly understand
your people and their potential. What makes them tick? Our research
platform, deployed in tandem with independent, qualified research
partners, provides our clients with the qualitative and quantitative insight
to create their people strategy, providing them with the following key levels
of insight:
Level 1
Strong fundamentals
The core people elements required to achieve their business strategy.
Level 2
Here and now
Outlining what is necessary for the business to deliver on immediate
requirements.
Level 3
Future proofing
The elements of the people strategy that will allow the business to deal
with future challenges as they evolve.

To transform and future-proof your business, you need a team that
is powered by adaptable people with a depth of expertise but also
a very high degree of ability; specialising where that’s needed,
but also able to collaborate across multiple disciplines while contributing
a depth of actionable skills.
If your organization doesn’t currently have the peopleware to deliver
the transformation you need, our Source platform can provide individuals
or a team of experts to drive it. They will help to design, develop and
execute a people strategy that will deliver change, while up-skilling
your team so that project ownership can transfer to your own engaged
and capable people in a sustainable manner.
We will work with you to develop bespoke people development
programmes that create versatility in your employees – and transform
them into a sustainable competitive advantage. We identify and
prioritize key people development opportunities – building programmes
and delivering them in a structured manner, all the while engaging
with your people. And providing ongoing evaluation that demonstrates
the value of your investment as your peopleware develops.
