Robyn Young HR

Robyn Young HR We provide down to earth & reliable HR | People | Recruitment support to businesses across NZ. Most of our clients operate businesses with 20 to 100 employees.

We work with businesses (mainly small to medium) to provide HR advice and support. Our clients work with us across a wide range of HR services - employment agreements, employee issues, policies, restructuring, recruitment, organisation and role design, remuneration, performance and health and safety. They usually have someone ‘doing payroll and contracts’ but the business can’t afford to employ a

full time HR person. These clients want to improve something about the way they manage their people their application of HR and that is where we come in. Our approach is different because we focus on coaching business owners and managers how to improve their own HR capability (much like having an HR professional working for you). After working with us you’ll be able to do more on your own. We want businesses to get the most out of their people whether we’re there with you or not. If employees are engaged and motivated, customer service levels increase, as does the bottom line. We offer some packaged services but other specialised work is based on an hourly rate. Our pricing is transparent and clients are clear about what they are getting from the outset.

❓What’s one of the most common reasons employers are challenged on during a restructure❓

PREDETERMINATION.
an employee’s view is that decisions were already made before consultation even started — the process was just a formality, a facade, a sham — it destroys trust, and FAST 🏃‍♀️

Employees are likely to call it out: “you were never going to change your mind.”

If you’re leading a restructure you’ve likely put a lot of effort into the thinking behind a proposal, however you’ve also probably not got all the answers (nor should you have to!)

Consultation should be an open discussion. Your people often have really@good ideas, suggestions and feedback.

💼 Your job is to genuinely listen, think and decide what is best for the business. Your team can tell a predetermined restructure from a mile away 👀

Here’s the painful irony of a badly handled restructure 👇

Your best people leave - because they can. They’ve got options, and you’ve given them a reason to use them.

👉 The you’re often left with the poor performers you never dealt with - the ones you actually wanted to move on.

❌ None of this makes sense to us. ✅ What does though is getting your team back on track after a restructure.

It isn’t just about productivity or thinking about work - it’s about how people FEEL about coming to work.

That’s what impacts your culture and engagement. RYHR works with employers to rebuild trust and momentum after the hard decisions are made - because what happens next matters just as much as the restructure itself.

Recently we teamed up with Manawatū Business Chamber and Alex from CR Law for a lunchtime seminar covering the latest employment law changes - from the Holidays Act through to updates to the Employment Relations Act and its amendments.

As always, it was a pleasure. There's something incredibly rewarding about getting in front of a room full of managers and business owners who are fully engaged in the discussion and genuinely care about doing right by their people and their organisation. We will do this again soon.
