Key Results
Rapid response and deployment

Caseload reduction
Expert handling of complex HR issues helped ease pressure on our internal team.

Sustainable HR development
EPM’s team mentored our in-house HR staff, building future resilience and capability.
Our schools are moving through a challenging period of transformation, focussed upon positive OFSTED inspection and outcomes. Associated significant changes to policies, procedures and pedagogy demand close HR support to help navigate through the turbulence. At the time, we were enduring HR staff shortfalls against spikes in activity with a large and, in some instances, complex caseload, plus increased communications and engagement pressures amongst staff and stakeholders. We sought out EPM to enhance capacity plus expertise in providing specialist, expeditious advice to help deal with a persistently demanding environment in danger of escalation.
