Our Services
Human Resources Management
Human Resources is an important enabling function within any organisation. It provides managers with the frameworks, policies and structures that allow people to thrive. By organising, leading and inspiring people in a coherent and effective manner, everyone is better-equipped to ultimately achieve the organisation’s objectives.
MartinJenkins is sought-after as a valuable adviser and resource to assist organisations with a range of HR functions. Our scope of expertise is wide-ranging – from top-level HR strategy and change management to standard operational procedures. Our clients benefit from our cross-disciplinary knowledge of management, business, employment law and public policy; as well as our knowledge of the corporate, public and quasi-public sectors.
The MartinJenkins team works with Boards, CEOs and senior management to develop and implement HR strategies that align with the organisation’s overall strategy and direction.
Some key questions:
- Does your organisation have an HR strategy which is aligned with your overall strategic goals?
- Do you require an independent team to assist with developing your people, managing change, top-level recruiting or reviewing performance?
- Do you ever need to call upon experts in employment law, employee relations and collective bargaining?
How we can assist
MartinJenkins offers a full range of Human Resources services:
HR Strategy
We will work with you to develop your HR strategic framework, and to ensure it aligns with your overall strategic goals. We can also deliver formal documentation to support this – including HR strategic plans and work programmes.
Evaluations and Reviews
As with any other part of the organisation, it is important to review and evaluate your HR function to ensure it is meeting objectives. Using proven methodologies and processes, we can conduct reviews and audits of your HR strategic and policy framework, as well evaluating any HR initiatives, services and programmes you may deliver.
Transition and Issues Management
There may be times when you require the services of a senior HR professional - for a fixed period to bridge a gap or vacancy, to manage a specific project, or to resolve a particularly complex or sensitive issue. Our consultants are all experienced senior managers who can fulfil these roles on a short-term basis.
Change Management
We have extensive experience in change management – including reorganisation, reviews, staff transfers, mergers and acquisitions. If your organisation is embarking on change, you will be required to navigate detailed processes prescribed by legislation and common practice. We can guide you through this process in a way that minimises your risks, and keeps staff on board as you implement changes. We can also help you implement cultural changes and organisational development after the change.
Employment Relations
Our consultants have many years experience in employment relations and bargaining, within both public and private sectors. We have an intimate knowledge of employment law – and were key advisers on the drafting of various laws, including the State Sector Act, Employment Contracts Act, and the current Employment Relations Act.
We can assist with any issues requiring consultation and negotiation with employees and their representatives; as well as collective negotiations with staff and unions including MECAs and MUCAs.
Organisational Development
To ensure you have the programmes in place to develop your people, we can advise you on a wide range of organisational development initiatives. These include: competency models and frameworks, talent management and management development, organisational climate and engagement surveys, performance management and career counselling.
Senior Executive Performance Management
Senior management requires a sophisticated approach to performance and reward matters. We have considerable expertise working with Boards, Trusts and CEOs who require an independent review of the performance of top management. We can provide discreet advice and support in our assessment of Tier 1 and 2 roles.
Operational HR Management
Implementing the ‘nuts and bolts’ of HR management will have a significant impact on the efficient running of an organisation. MartinJenkins provides advice and support on standard operational HR matters – including employment investigations, appointment reviews, preparation of documents (job descriptions, performance plans, employment agreements etc); as well as drafting HR policies and procedures.
Recruitment, Selection and Assessment
We specialise in the recruitment and assessment of high-level appointments and Tier 1 or 2 positions. We regularly work with organisations as a valued partner in the recruitment process, participating on interview panels and in appointment processes. MartinJenkins is licensed to use the internationally-recognised Saville and Holdsworth (SHL) tests and assessment materials.
