4-consulting helps companies to realise their
potential through creative organisational and people
development and the principles of lifelong learning.
We will help you to take a strategic view of how your
learning and development activities can contribute to
your success and enable you to implement new business
objectives.
Managing Change
Almost every organisation is going through change on a daily basis. The successful ones are those who recognise it and are able to manage their human and material assets to accommodate that change.
We help people and organisations to transform their view of the outside world and “the way we do things around here”.
We design and implement change programmes in both public and private sectors, with particular emphasis on improving the performance of restructured organisations and teams.
Through our change programmes we have enabled organisations to cope positively with a wide range of change situations involving people, work patterns and environments as well as the impact of technology on working practices.
New Ways of Working & Work-Life Balance
More flexible working arrangements for the employee can contribute to greater productivity and less time off work.
The Institute for Employment Studies has estimated that a small business may save up to £250K on its budgets by using family friendly policies (reducing sickness and absence cover and cutting recruitment costs).
Today’s employers need to concentrate on capturing benefits for their organisation through flexible employment policies.
These benefits may include:
 | Maximising scarce labour resources |
| Gaining the reputation of being an employer of choice |
| Retaining valued employees |
| Attracting a wide range of candidates, such as older part-time workers and carers |
| Increased productivity |
| Reduced absenteeism |
| A loyal and motivated workforce in a less stressful environment |
Increasingly, employers are developing a wide range of Work-Life Balance options, covering flexible working arrangements and benefit packages which challenge traditional working practices and explore innovative workspace design.
To help employers make the business case for Work-Life Balance, the DTI launched the Challenge Fund in 2000 to help employers develop the right Work-Life Balance strategies for their companies.
4-consulting helps organisations develop and introduce new flexible working arrangements and can advise on applications for DTI funding in 2003.
