Strategic School HR Services
As Academies grow and schools join, there is a need to take a strategic approach to school HR, streamlining processes, developing consistency of policies and practices, training business leads, developing management, effective workforce planning and building the suite of specific HR documentation. Strategic HR outsourcing can help institutions navigate these complexities efficiently.
Our strategic school HR services comes with everything in the Full HR Advisory and Consultancy service but also includes working closely with the central leadership team to look at the overarching strategy of the people and trust. Embedding your people strategy is crucial to the success of any organisation, from attracting and retaining top talent to development, growth and improved outcomes. We can support the development, assessment, implementation and monitoring. Our HR Consultancy can help you achieve your people strategy and support your growth and success.
When schools from different areas join, support staff often come with varying pay grades and different localised benefits. Our strategic HR service can provide project management and expert advice on the consistency of pay grades and creating pay structures to fit the academy’s trust needs, including consulting with trade unions, preparing proposals, and ensuring equality of pay across the trust.
