Training, Development & Strategy
Larger businesses from between 50 to 100 employees can often struggle to effectively train and develop newly promoted managers and invest in the continuing professional development of their more experienced managers. When this happens, it can have a negative impact on morale and trust which can result in the underperformance of employees.
HR Helen can help your business implement a clear and reliable training and development strategy, to help to increase your employee’s morale and build trust within your management team.
Through our unique combination of a bespoke managerial training app and HR consultancy services, we will help to support you in being able to better train your managers. By investing time in training and development, we can help to ensure the future success of your business with the added bonus that your mangers are comfortable in their new roles.
Why do large businesses need a training, development and strategy?
Once a business has grown to the size of 50 to 150 employees, many employers struggle to train new managers or develop their more experienced managers. It takes time and expertise to develop an effective managerial training programme; something not every company has available internally.
A successful business is built on a foundation of engaged and productive employees who strive to do well in their roles and are driven by their own and the company’s success. Over the years, we have found time and time again that an employee’s relationship with their line manager is one of the key relationships in the workplace that directly relates to employee engagement.
Our experience has shown that if your employees have a difficult relationship with their line manager, then they will feel less motivated when they come into work and their engagement and productivity drops through the floor.
We offer management training through our app to stop this happening. Covering everything from hiring a new employee, right the way through to what happens should they choose to leave their role, this step-by-step guide is easy to digest and covers all of the relevant steps that a manager needs to take in order to get the most out – and for – of their team.

Strengthening people & performance management
Challenge
A mid-sized cleaning contractor was struggling with inconsistent handling of disciplinary issues and underperformance. Their managers lacked a clear, structured process, resulting in delay, uncertainty and uneven outcomes.
Solution
HR Helen designed and delivered a bespoke training workshop focused on people-management and performance-management fundamentals. The training provided:
-
A step-by-step framework for addressing disciplinaries and underperformance, clarifying “what to do and when.”
-
Coaching and scenario-based discussion, enabling managers to explore real-life issues, ask questions, and build confidence in their decision-making.
-
Practical tools and guidance tailored to the cleaning contractor context ensuring relevance and ease of use day-to-day.
Outcomes
-
Managers gained clear structure and process, and felt more confident and in control when dealing with staff issues.
-
The business adopted a consistent, fair, and transparent approach to performance and disciplinary management.
-
Overall people-management became more proactive reducing delays, uncertainty and management stress.
Why It Worked
By delivering training that was practical, context-specific and supported by coaching, we turned vague, inconsistent practices into a clear, repeatable system. Managers moved from uncertainty to clarity giving the organisation stronger, fairer, more effective performance management overall.
