Listgrove - the fully outsourced HR solution

Leading recruitment and human resources company Listgrove launches fully outsourced HR services: staff management and coaching, competency based frameworks, training, HR admin and other functions

This year sees leading recruitment and human resources (HR) company Listgrove launching a set of fully outsourced HR services - from staff management and coaching, to competency based frameworks, training, HR administration and many other functions.

Listgrove comprehensive and outsourced HR packages now include all areas formerly embraced by a company's Personnel or HR department.

Listgrove primarily serves the packaging, plastics and printing industries and is now increasingly working across many other manufacturing sectors.

The provision of a range of HR services has come about in response to a rising demand from the market: 'We see companies needing a very varied range of HR services and solutions, as well as continuing to use us to source quality people,' says Listgrove Managing Director, Jason Markham.

'What we're now offering is a complementary service for HR departments in client companies.

It will allow businesses to take a much more strategic view of their HR issues and needs - and plan for the future accordingly'.

Markham says that 'Our new resources will further enable companies and HR departments to focus and deepen their core strengths while selecting and then delegating a range of other tasks, skills and competences to us.

Many of our clients are achieving very effective HR results by working in this outsourced way'.

Larger PLC clients use Listgrove at the cutting edge of operations and as an extension of their Personnel or HR departments.

'We provide these Corporate groups with their specialist recruitment searches,' says Markham, 'and help them with a variety of specialist techniques; competency based interviewing (CBI), for example, in-house training as well as flexible and timely legal, regulatory and technical advice.

All of our work is tailored to the size, specific circumstances and needs of the client, large or small'.

Markham adds that 'what is clear is that the outsourcing of human resource (HR) functions is a popular and clear strategy for successful companies in today's competitive and fast-moving markets'.

It allows businesses to take their HR competences to a higher level and enables experts such as ourselves to.

* Find and develop the best people for their businesses.

* Keep ahead of all the changes in the field; legal, regulatory, financial and technical.

* Relieve the burdens on existing HR company staff.

'It remains the case,' says Markham, 'that the most essential asset of any company today is the people it employs'.

Employing the right people is the most essential ingredient for business success.

Retaining, motivating and developing people towards superior performance is increasingly becoming key to lasting success in the marketplace.

The new Listgrove portfolio of HR services now includes.

* HR Policies and procedure reviews and action planning.

* HR administration management.

* Competency Based Structures.

* People Recruitment.

* People Management - support and consultancy.

* People Training, Coaching and Development.

'The next few years will see increased demand for all of these HR services and more,' says Markham.

'Our recruitment and executive search side of the business is better than ever and so we are now supplementing it with all these further resources in order to ensure a full client service.

The coming age of Human Resource management will be very challenging and very exciting,' says Markham, 'and we intend to play a full part with our new services and skillsets.'.
