Get the right support to improve what matters to you.

EPIC offer a range of tailored support interventions for individuals, teams and organisations. For you, your team, and your organisation this could include:

HR support – one-off projects through to fully outsourced services – EPIC has the skills you need to fill any gaps. Examples of the types of support available include, but are not limited to:

  • Professional supervision for your frontline HR staff – helping them to process and deal with the difficult issues they face on a regular basis by offering a sounding board for ideas and a way of effectively processing the emotion of the cases they deal with
  • A workplace investigation needs someone independent and external to the organisation
  • Negotiation of settlement agreements
  • Workplace Mediation and dispute resolution support
  • A project is starting that can’t be resourced from within the HR team due to workloads or specific skillsets required
  • Drafting and presentation of new or updated policies and procedures including all necessary documents to embed and operate them
  • Covering for unexpected absence in the HR team when you can’t reallocate work to someone else
  • Peaks in workloads mean the team need an extra pair of hands on a short-term basis
  • Retained HR support on a pay as you go or monthly fee basis (contact for a no obligation discussion)

Leadership support – coaching and mentoring for senior leaders, and facilitation of things like team development sessions, problem solving, and strategizing sessions. Personality profiling can also be provided. Examples include:

  • Coaching for leaders:
    • Running a business can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose focus or procrastinate on important tasks, with no-one to hold you accountable, help you set and achieve goals, or to keep you motivated and resilient.
    • When you’re immersed in the day-to-day operations of your business, it can be challenging to see the bigger picture or identify areas for improvement by looking from a different angle.
  • Personality profiling available using Strengthscope, Team Management Profile or other TMSDI tools.
  • Help to design and run a team development session for a senior team.
  • Facilitation of problem-solving sessions where a group of leaders need to get together with an external professional to examine problems from different perspectives and jointly come up with solutions.
  • Strategic planning sessions to review current and future strategic goals, with an external professional guiding the session.

Coaching for HR/L&D individuals and teams – for new or experienced practitioners, individualised or team-based coaching to focus on improving performance. This can also include supervision-style support, helping practitioners make sense of and process the world of work around them. These could be one-off ad-hoc instances or semi-regular / regular scheduled interventions.

Mentoring – helping HR/L&D practitioners, regardless of level, to develop new knowledge and skills and learn from someone with decades of in-house and freelance experience in HR/L&D and running businesses. Like with coaching, these could be one-off ad-hoc instances or semi-regular / regular scheduled interventions.

Business performance consultancy – help with any business-related problem, from facilitating process improvement, analysing data, improving communication, and much much more. This could include:

  • Process improvement. Getting to the root cause of process performance issues by examining each step in a process using multiple tools, examining the data that a process generates, and talking to the users and customers of the process to identify and implement improvements to it.
  • Developing the mindset and skillset to effectively use data. This could cover how to interpret signals in data, how to be more evidence-based, how to build narratives around data, and much more.
  • Examining communication structures and network maps within an organisation, uncovering barriers to effective communication and recommending improvements.
