Creating Environments Where Success is Inevitable

The Reality of HR

Many people think that HR is complicated, but we don’t! We keep things simple. Everything we do increase’s your bottom line and keeps your business running smoothly, and the way we do this is by creating an environment where success is inevitable.

Employees are your most important asset, and it’s our role to take care of them so that they take care of your business. This involves everything from attracting the right talent to rewarding those who go the extra mile.

Creating Engagement

An engaged workforce is a productive workforce, and a productive workforce will make your profits soar. We promote engagement by helping you to create a company culture. This culture sets the standard that employees must work to and gives everyone a shared vision to work towards.

We create this culture by really getting under the skin of your company. Because your employees see us as an impartial third party, they’re happy to open up to us. They tell us how they feel and explain what support they need to do better in their roles. We then provide them with training, improving their skills while showing them they are valued and listened to.

Finding the Right Talent

One bad apple can spoil the bunch. By getting the hiring process right, you prevent issues later down the line.

Creating Culture

We develop your employees and create a company culture where everyone is excited to enter work each morning.

Saying Goodbye

Sometimes an employee leaves on their own accord or on yours. No matter the situation, we can deal with the whole process.

Supporting You on Those Big Decisions

Alongside dealing with the headaches that take you away from managing your business, like meetings for the sake of meetings, grievances over office gossip, and writing employee contracts, we also support you with large commercial decisions.

This can be restructuring your company so that it stays agile in an ever-evolving market, or it can be acquiring a new business to help you expand. We have supported countless companies in processes like this. Our experience means we can advise you to get it right from the start, cutting costs and increasing your profits.

Working Around You

We can be your outsourced solution to call when you need advice, or we can regularly visit your premises and work from within your business. Everything we do revolves around you.

I’ve recently worked with Matthew on updating our Employee Handbook and Contracts of Employment; I have to confess it was not a task I was looking forward to. To be perfectly honest HR both scares and frustrates me which is why, after recommendation, I called in the Cavalry…
Mat tackled the production of the documents quickly, he demonstrated a clear understanding of legislation and added a touch of flair! More importantly he gave me the confidence to tackle other issues, demystified the whole process and made it an exciting place to focus my attention. I’m looking forward to working with Mat in the future and knowing he’s on hand to give a no nonsense opinion is very reassuring :0)

At the centre of ITogether services are its people. Engaging an HR consultant with the right personality and values which complement ITogether was vital. ITogether engaged Black Ink HR to support us with a potentially complex but very specific HR issue and the service Black Ink HR provided was amazing. From the moment I made the initial phone call until the moment the issue was resolved, Mat was there to help – no matter what my question or what time of day. A truly personal service. I’ve now engaged Black Ink HR on a number of occasions to support my business and no matter what my issue or question Mat is always happy to help. My employees look at Mat as another member of the ITogether team but I see Mat as a critical part of my support network – alongside my accountant, bank manager and solicitor. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Black Ink HR to any company, no matter what size, that is looking for HR support or guidance.

I have used Matt on a couple of complex cases where diplomacy was key. Great attention to detail and professional. We will only use Matt from now on.

I engaged Mat as an interim consultant to support my team for a period of maternity leave and in a short time I have been hugely impressed with what he is adding to the business. Mat’s contribution and expertise is first class, his passion and energy is contagious and he very quickly immersed himself into the business and their strategic priorities. I would hugely recommend Mat to any employer as his skills are very transferable and I will certainly be engaging him again the future when this project comes to an end.

Mat is a personable, eclectic and engaging, business focussed HR business partner who is not content with fixing the symptoms of an issue but rather on reworking the processes and organisation so to eradicate the symptoms by tackling the root cause. I have engaged Mat in different business situations and leadership teams and I am confident that he can assimilate to the environment, personalities and challenges he finds himself in. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Matthew supported my facility on a Customer service focused assignment; supporting structure, capacity analysis, SOP creation and clear SLA channels to improve the functions communications and effectiveness. Matthew is incredibly people orientated and was able to speak with all levels of employees to draw out insights and information pieces that supported him during his data collection stages. His recommendations were incredibly theoretically sound but also tailored towards my organisation and industry. We are now onto the implementation of the recommendations Matthew provided and he is supporting in a different work stream. Matthew brings energy and experience to organisational challenges that is refreshing and has a ‘problem solving’ mindset.
