The people we support, supporting us

  • Limelite HR & Learning provided exactly the support our senior leadership team needed during a period of significant organisational change. They quickly understood our structure and our challenges. The tailored workforce planning session was practical, engaging, and relevant to our real scenarios.

    The tools and templates they created for us have already strengthened our planning and helped us think more strategically about capability, succession, and risk. We left the session more confident, better equipped, and far clearer on the HR actions needed to move the business forward.

    I would highly recommend Limelite HR & Learning to any organisation looking to build stronger leadership and a more resilient workforce.

  • We are very grateful for support received from Limelite HR in dealing with a recent grievance investigation. As a small charity, it would have been challenging for us to deal with the volume of material in this case and to appoint an impartial investigator internally, so having a consultant to manage the investigation was very helpful.

    Laura dealt with the complexities of the case very well, and conducted a thorough and detailed investigation – including looking into related areas which were not specifically raised within the grievance, to ensure all relevant information was properly considered before reaching her conclusion. Her findings were well delivered and have given us clarity and confidence to move forward.

  • At YMCA Worcestershire, we have been through a period of substantial change and development. As part of this we refreshed our vision, mission and values. We also did some solid work in creating a strategic framework with top line objectives. While we had done some preliminaries on further development of this into measurables, a challenge of capacity issues with a need for more operational focus was emerging. We were keen to get through this bottleneck because we knew the strategic planning and implementation would help to ease the operational challenges.

    We were very grateful to get Workforce Planning support for this through consultancy work with Limelite HR who reviewed what we’d done so far, liaised with key staff members and helped us to harness this into a more complete and workable format. This is now enabling us to have a clearer road map in our efforts and a means by which to monitor progress and will, in this respect, enhance our impact for those we serve in our charitable and transformative work. We very much appreciated the timely help with this – thank you to Workforce Planning and Limelite HR!

  • Helen really grasped and understood what we wanted to achieve with our culture handbook, making it clear, simple and easy to understand. As with many other activities like this, the real value is in the process and it extremely useful to focus on what we want to stand for as a business and solidify this in writing. Helen’s input with her HR experience and knowledge was invaluable in creating a document that is in line with current legislation and brings us up to standard with industry peers.
