The Challenge
IT Works are one of the leading UK and international niche IT, Business systems and Digital Marketing recruitment consultancies. They provide contract and permanent recruitment expertise globally and are considered experts within all their markets working with clients and candidates across more than 20 countries.
As part of an exciting growth strategy, the business required a more aligned and developed leadership team to support the directors of the business to achieve their business objectives.
The Solution
Following consultation with the directors and the head of HR, the Innergy team undertook a complete leadership 360 assessment of the team leaders and managers across the business and developed a comprehensive outline for a six month leadership programme to rollout across the business.
The programme was delivered monthly in house, with a series of outcome specific objectives identified for each of the managers during the course of the programme, to ensure the new ideas were both implemented and measured. This also incorporated a number of innovation projects that were presented back to the senior leadership team at the last session, each focusing on generating an additional £80k in revenue and/or cost savings for the business.
The Outcome
The feedback from the programme was excellent, with each of the attendees achieving their personal leadership objectives as agreed at the start of the programme. The leadership team is now more unified and collaboratively working towards the strategic objectives of the entire business moving forward.
Part of the initiatives included the development of an IT Works specific online learning and development, HR and intranet system (Talent Hub™) which is being rolled out across all the employees as well as any new starters to the business, to reduce costs involved with training and developing IT Works’ personnel, to improve communication and collaborative working and to ensure the consistent adherence to the IT Works way of working.
What they said…
“Innergy’s approach is extremely refreshing. They took the time to understand our business and team, the strengths and development areas for us both. We’ve attended many training and development events however this experience and bespoke approach suited the pace of our business, offering practical and realistic support and outcomes at set points.
The programme ensured deliverables during the session and encouraged us to work as a stronger group outside the programme sessions to encourage change and develop our thinking throughout the business.
The energy, pace and enthusiasm throughout the programme had such a positive effect on us, making our whole experience and outcome so positive. We’re working with Innergy to launch a Talent Portal which will ensure the communication, development and operations are supported and managed with clarity and strategic benefit at the forefront of our minds.”
