𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱.
We recently supported an organisation where a long-standing employee’s performance and presence within the team had changed. Their manager knew something wasn’t right.

The employee was caring for an elderly parent but had found it difficult to talk about it at work. By the time they did, they were questioning whether they could stay in their job.

Many people combine work with unpaid care without necessarily thinking of themselves as ‘carers’. Those responsibilities aren’t always visible to the people around them.

Once both sides understood what was happening, they agreed temporary changes to working hours, some remote working and flexibility around appointments.

They didn’t need a permanent answer straight away. Clear expectations and regular reviews gave the employee some breathing space and helped the organisation understand what was workable.

Policies matter. So does making room for an honest conversation about what the employee, the organisation and the wider team need.

If someone who has always performed well starts struggling, a useful first question might be: what’s changed?

At You Consultancy, we help organisations work through these conversations and find a practical way forward 💚

𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.
A disciplinary handled inconsistently. A grievance allowed to drift. Recommended actions that never quite get progressed. A senior appointment that does not work out as hoped.

These situations rarely start as expensive problems. But when they are left unresolved, the costs can spread well beyond the original issue.

From an HR perspective, inconsistency and delay increase risk, pressure and cost, while the options available become more limited. From an organisational development perspective, they can drain confidence, energy and trust in the organisation’s ability to act.

The most significant costs are often not legal. They are operational and human.

Leadership and management time is diverted into firefighting. Capable people disengage. Focus is lost while issues are revisited and untangled.

When decisions are handled early, they tend to stay contained. Messages are clearer, relationships are protected and performance is less disrupted.

This is not about adding process for its own sake. It is about applying sound judgement at the right moment, with both risk and organisational health in mind.

The benefit for leaders is space. Fewer distractions, better decisions and more time spent leading rather than repairing.

If a situation feels manageable now but uncomfortable, that is often the right moment to talk. Early support protects both people and organisational performance.

When you work with a consultancy, you’re putting a fair amount of trust in the person sitting across the table.

They need to understand your organisation, know the people involved and have enough context to give you useful advice.

But you probably don’t want everything to depend on one person either.

That’s an important part of how we work at You.

Our consultants get to know their clients and handle their work directly. But we also case review as a team.

If someone has dealt with something similar before, we share that experience. If someone sees something differently, we talk it through. And if a situation needs expertise from elsewhere in the team, we bring it in.

So while you have someone who knows you and your organisation, you also have the benefit of the wider team when you need it.

That matters when the work can range from a difficult employee situation one day to leadership coaching, organisational change, engagement or wellbeing the next.

It also means we can all work part-time as part of our four-day working week, while providing our clients with a five-day service.

Behind the scenes, there are plenty of conversations, shared ideas and different points of view.

For our clients, the important bit is much simpler.

You know who you’re working with. But you’re never relying on just one person.

💚 🎉 Happy 5 Year Workaversary, Jen! 🎉 💚
Today we're celebrating a very special milestone.

Five years ago, Jen joined You Consultancy and we've been incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our journey ever since.

At You Consultancy we call our work anniversaries Workaversaries, and some traditions stay the same because they work! One of our favourites is spinning our Employee Recognition Wheel of Fortune, and this year Jen won Retail Voucher 🎡🎁

Over the past five years we've seen Jen grow from an amazing Consultant into an exceptional Senior HR & OD Consultant. Her unique blend of HR expertise, OD insight, practical problem-solving and genuine care for people helps our clients navigate some of their most complex challenges with confidence.

But those who know Jen know there's so much more to her than her professional achievements.

She's our star baker 🍰, our wondermaker ✨, a creator of new ideas, an inspiring product developer, a trusted friend and colleague, and someone who always goes the extra mile for our clients and team.

We're incredibly proud of everything she has achieved and grateful for the contribution she makes every single day.

Please join us in wishing Jen a very Happy 5 Year Workaversary! 💚

Because at You Consultancy, it really is all about the people.

💚🌱

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. 𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁.

“We’ve always handled it informally.”
“They’ve only been here a few months.”
“It was only banter.”
“Everyone knows how things work around here.”

In our HR and OD work, we often see organisational risks beginning with assumptions like these. Rarely because of bad intent, but because a way of thinking or working has gone unchallenged.

From an HR perspective, that can create legal and compliance risk. From an OD perspective, it can quietly shape culture, behaviour and trust.

And the two are increasingly difficult to separate.

Leaders who challenge assumptions early make better, more consistent decisions. They reduce risk, but they also create workplaces where people understand what is expected, feel respected and have greater confidence in the decisions being made around them.

Helping leaders develop that judgement before problems harden is at the heart of our HR and OD work.

If you want to sense-check some of the assumptions shaping your people decisions, we can help you look at both the legal and cultural impact, early and constructively.

𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 💚

We have more clients, more work and more we want to do. So, we’re looking for another good person to join us.

Organisations increasingly want more than traditional HR support. They need trusted partners who can help them navigate change, develop their people and address the root causes of organisational challenges, not just the symptoms.

Bringing HR and OD together has always been central to how we work. We’re now looking for an HR & OD Consultant to join our team.

No two days will be the same. One might involve helping a manager handle a difficult employee relations issue. Another could include coaching a leader, facilitating a workshop or supporting a wider organisational change programme.

We’re looking for someone who can work confidently and independently, while also valuing the support and shared thinking of a collaborative team. Someone who enjoys solving complex problems, building trusted client relationships and helping people and organisations move forward.

The role is full-time and based in Wallingford, with flexibility to work from home for part of the week.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺?

Long before the business existed, our founder Jonna’s Nan, Lillian, would sit and read You magazine every Sunday. It is a simple memory, but one that stayed with her.

Lil believed in treating people with respect, helping those who needed it and doing the right thing without seeking recognition. Those values shaped Jonna’s outlook and, years later, the business she created.

The name You felt right because the business was never meant to be about one person. It was about the people we work with, the organisations we support and the individuals we help to grow.

A great deal has changed since You Consultancy began. Our business has grown, our services have evolved, but the belief at our heart remains the same: people should feel supported, developed and confident enough to handle difficult situations rather than avoid them.

That is why our strapline has always been: It’s All About The People. 💚

Not because it sounds good, but because it is what we believe.

P.S. That’s Jonna in the kitchen sink!

When you've worked alongside a business for a number of years, you stop reacting to issues as they arise. You understand the people, the culture and where the business is heading, which means the support becomes more proactive and far more valuable.

That's exactly how our relationship with Relay Global has developed.

Over the years we've worked together on everything from leadership development and organisational change to employee engagement, manager support and day-to-day HR advice, adapting our support as the business has evolved.

Michael Taylor, MD of Relay Global, summed it up better than we ever could:
"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘦'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘏𝘙 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭."

Thank you to Michael and the whole Relay Global team for your continued trust. Long-term partnerships like this are exactly why we do what we do.

If you're looking for a trusted partner rather than just another HR provider, we'd love to have a conversation 💚
