Consultancy

The BALANCE AT WORK consultants apply pragmatic work-life programmes to real business situations. We make tailored business cases which recognise your individual circumstances and wider strategic goals.

Our consultants draw on real breadth and depth in terms of experience and expertise, ranging from HR and training, to specialist work-life balance, organisational and personal development skills.

Their expertise is not theoretical: it is based on practical hands-on experience of implementing solutions that work in real-life contemporary organisational life.

The main areas we cover are:

Strategic Review:

  • audit of policies and practices
  • policy development
  • work re-allocation and organisation
  • staff focus groups and SMT interviews
  • reports and recommendations
  • SMT presentations
  • benchmarking and case studies

Project Management (Implementation);

  • dispute resolution over flexible working contracts
  • communications strategies
  • change management
  • cultural change
  • pilot flexible working projects
  • mentoring, individual and team mentoring


We also offer the Diagnostic and Implementation Toolkit, which covers the life cycle of a work-life balance initiative and includes consultancy support.
