As a dynamic provider of online training solutions, Nimble Elearning relies on HR People Support to keep their HR practices compliant and up to date. With a retained partnership, HRPS provides Nimble with tailored advice, timely support, and expert guidance on everything from employment law to HR documentation, allowing Nimble’s leadership to focus confidently on workforce development.
Launched in 2014, Nimble Elearning help companies create and manage compelling online training across a range of development areas. Their services enable clients to quickly build and deliver cost effective employee learning programmes that save time and resources.
All companies have workforce development needs, including the provision of regulatory and compliance training, and Nimble’s systems create and track employee learning in an approachable, affordable, and simple way.
As a small but dynamic training organisation, Nimble’s focus is very much on workforce development, and to support their internal HR resource – they asked HR People Support (HRPS) to help them. Says Amanda Hyde, Nimble’s HR Officer:
“As the HR officer at Nimble, I needed some expert help and support. Someone I could work with and trust – a company fully conversant in HR compliance and current legal employment law practices.”
Following a meeting to go through the requirements, Nimble formalised arrangements with HRPS and set up a retainer contract with an agreed number of support hours each month. Continues Amanda:
“The world of HR is a minefield; having expert resource on hand to help with HR policy and employment law is a massive benefit. From a quick request for help on the phone or by email, to more formalised meetings to review a range of topics, it’s extremely reassuring to have ‘eyes on’ expert help and guidance whenever I need it, no matter how small or varied the issue. And the response times from Gemma and the HRPS team are remarkably quick, their customer service is fantastic!”
As employment legislation evolves and new legal mandates emerge, ensuring all elements of HR are compliant and up to date is a real challenge for small and medium sized businesses. Dealing with complexity, and having robust, documented systems and procedures in place is absolutely essential for organisations wanting to avoid future pitfalls. Concludes Amanda:
“Knowing that all our HR policies, documents, handbooks, contracts, and procedures are fully compliant and totally transparent is a massive help to us. And because HRPS work with many other companies, we benefit from their experience in a variety of industrial situations, with current knowledge, insight, and guidance. Add that to their incredible response times, excellent levels of service, and a caring ethos – and you start to appreciate why we value them so much. We are very happy working with them.”
