Our Approach

ASSESSMENT

People are not your greatest asset – you don’t own them and the effort that really counts is that which they give on a purely discretionary basis. What people are is the most powerful potential source of competitive advantage available.

We work with you to identify, assess, develop and retain the talent that will enable you to gain or maintain that competitive edge. This could involve a close look at resourcing and diversity strategy or it might be connected with the immediate concerns of running assessment and development centres or identifying high performing teams and individuals within the organisation. In all cases you will find our approach pragmatic, simple but never simplistic, challenging yet always supportive.

EMPLOYER REPUTATION

When there is alignment between the values, work and contribution of an individual and that of their employer, they are more productive, engaged and their organisations are more successful. This builds the reputation of an organisation as a good place to work. And the consequence is that engaged, high performing organisations establish a reputation for responsiveness and being good to work with for customers in the wider market place.

Penna consultants work with our clients to focus on the key elements that can make a real difference to attracting and engaging current and future employees. We believe in making implementation of great ideas straightforward and highly impactful. Our work includes undertaking research and analysing data to identify key priorities for focus, building communication solutions that can inspire, articulate and make real what is unique about the organisation as a place to work, represented by the employer brand. The outcome is ways of working that sustain business success and create a compelling place for its people.
