Strategic planning is important in helping to define the future needs of the business in a changing and competitive environment. Using the SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results) approach, we assist by ensuring that the organisation’s medium to long-term goals are clearly identified.
We also develop an action plan focused on how to achieve the goals identified. Our approach is to work with the organisation to get collective input from all stakeholders to ensure the goals identified are implemented.
When acquiring talent for your business, a candidate’s qualifications and experience are only the foundation. With a dedicated HR Consultant, we will work with you to understand your needs to ensure that from initial employee search to hiring the attributes and character are the best fit for your organisation.
We conduct customised and industry specific compensation and benefits surveys showing a comparison of your salary and cash allowances by position against the market. We can also help your organisation to develop a compensation structure that is strategically aligned to your organisation’s business goals.
Additionally, we possess a compensation database from which we can supply information on base salaries, cash-based allowances, benefits and pay practices. We also provide advice on compensation and benefits trends in Barbados.
Using a proven range of methodologies and technique, job evaluation systematically assesses the internal worth of a job in order to achieve pay equity between jobs in the organisation. This leads to the development of a consistent salary structure across the organisation.
An organisation’s talent is its lifeline. Alignment of a process that effectively monitors, measures and develops talent is key to the achievement of the organisation’s strategic objectives. Using a systematic and inclusive approach, we can develop an effective process of co-development of objectives, coaching, continuous feedback and year end evaluation, to effectively lead the performance and development of talent, including performance incentive pay plans.

As part of our HR Advisory services, we provide support to companies who are experiencing any changes to their business structure due to internal restructuring, mergers or acquisitions. We will review and evaluate the organisation’s current structure, understand workflows and linkages between departments. We can assist in managing and analysing the HR issues which may result from the restructuring process.
We can also assist in conducting an audit which analyses your organisation’s HR programmes to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Through this audit, we will be able to provide recommendations and suggestions to remedy these problems in order for the organisation to better deliver on its people strategy.
We conduct customised surveys that gather feedback on the effectiveness of the organisation’s people practices and provide recommendations with a view towards improving leadership, engagement and productivity. The survey can also be aligned with the Barbados’ Best Employers Programme allowing for benchmarking against participating companies.
