The people we support, supporting us

  • We are happy with the culture book and are more organised for implementing it. The WCC’s Workforce Planning tool supported us in our planning efforts and we found it valuable to have used it.
    The consultancy service received has helped our business to get organised and given us the confidence to proceed forward into the more complicated landscape of being a small employer. If we hadn’t had the support we would have been struggling to cope with the increased demands placed upon us going forward.

  • Limelite HR held a group session as part of its management development programme for a number of us from an SME, where we all work remotely.

  • We had a meeting with staff this week and they shared how much they enjoyed the training and found it incredibly beneficial. A huge thank you for delivering such a fantastic session! The learning was valuable for everyone, and despite the long day, it never felt dragged out—a true testament to how engaging and impactful it was. I’ll be sharing the training materials with the team—it’s great to have them as a reference.

  • Severn Arts asked Limelite HR for their assistance to create a Culture Book as part of their Workforce Planning support programme, funded through WCC, to assist with the onboarding process for new staff members. We sent over our current Employee Handbook, along with our Tone of Voice policy and information about the organisation, as it was a text-only document and quite laborious to read through.
    Limelite HR remodelled it into a useful document with images, photos and highlighted text to match our website, creating a more branded put-together document for us to use. We are starting to roll it out with the new starters that will join us in January.
    It’s saved us valuable time and resources and is now a live document that we can amend and update as necessary. It’s also encouraged us to review the information in the Handbook and update relevant sections for which we are now scheduling regular reviews.
