cipd seminar hosted by tim williams

Juice attended the CIPD Bath & West Wilts seminar, hosted by Tim Williams, Managing Director HR of The Helphire Group PLC.

Helphire is an organisation, which has developed and grown rapidly over the last 16 years. Helphire began trading in April 1992 with 3 people and 5 cars and now has around 3,000 employees, with approx. 20,000 vehicles and a turnover of £290M. With a swiftly expanding business, there was a need to put structures in place to support growing numbers of staff and changing business needs. In September 2005, Tim Williams, Managing Director of HR, headed up 3 areas - HR, Recruitment and Training, each supporting 5 areas of the business. With this structure, there were weak relationships with “customers” and low morale led to a poor delivery of HR service. Helphire appointed one HR Business Partner for each area of the business. HR
Business Partners are involved with the senior management teams and are responsible for the employee life cycle. Helphire has found that this has improved the HR service because there is a “go to” person for all customers, there is strong specialist HR support in place and the structure provides clear accountabilities.

Tim highlighted 4 areas, which comprise the HR service:
• Management of organisational infrastructure
• Management of strategic HR
• Management of Employee contribution
• Management of transformation and change

By improving these processes, HR can significantly contribute to the effectiveness and competitiveness of the business.
This was a thoroughly informative and interactive session. We thank Tim for speaking so passionately about his experiences of appointing HR Business Partners.
