Hello to our valued listeners! I’m Granger Forson, and as always, you can touch base with me at www.bizsmart-gloucestershire.co.uk or find me on LinkedIn. On today's episode of ScaleUp Radio, we’re diving deep into the world of Human Resources with none other than Sarah Cook, the dynamic managing director of 'We Do HR Support'. For many, HR might be about policies and compliance, but for Sarah, it's a nuanced dance of aligning business goals with human values.
Sarah’s venture stands out in the cluttered HR landscape, offering specialised, tailored services to small to medium-sized businesses. She’s a passionate advocate of not just ticking the compliance boxes, but of truly understanding a company's DNA and crafting HR strategies around it. From offering attractive employee benefits to establishing the right culture, Sarah’s take on HR is both refreshing and invaluable. She gives amazing advise on how to start your culture correctly and how to test it is working.
With a story that pivots around adaptability, Sarah transformed her redundancy in 2020 into an entrepreneurial opportunity that now benefits countless businesses across sectors. Today, we’ll uncover Sarah's vision, her strategies, and the ethos that shapes her business. Join us for a conversation that transcends traditional HR boundaries and delves into what it truly means to put people at the heart of a business.
