Hi, my name is David Liddle and I am the founder and CEO of People and Culture Consulting. We are a global human resources (HR) consultancy with offices in the UK and the US. Proud to be part of The TCM Group, we offer cutting edge consulting, advisory and training support to HR and people and culture teams across the world.
We specialise in working with people professionals, leaders, managers and other stakeholders to develop a people and culture function which puts purpose, values and people first. We help the modern P&C function to unleash their value measured in terms of strategic value, shareholder value, stakeholder value and social value. I describe these as the four values of HR.
We’d be delighted to answer any questions you have about our HR, leadership or culture change consultancy services and training programmes. Please use the short form at the end of this page, click here to email us, or call us on 0800 059 0595.
The future of HR is people and culture.
TCM stand out head and shoulders above the rest.
What is People and Culture?
People and culture is an exciting new way of thinking about human resources (HR) and human capital. It is an ambitious function driven by a focus on creating human and humane workplaces where our people can thrive and our organizations can flourish. By rejecting the tired and broken paradigms of rigidity, retribution, complexity and bureaucracy, the new people and culture function is adding considerable value to our organizations measured in terms of enhanced strategic value, social value, stakeholder value, and shareholder value (the four values of HR).
The people and culture function acts as a powerful enabler within the modern organization. They align the needs and aspirations of the business with the needs and aspirations of its workforce. To do this, they create purpose driven, values based and person centric workplaces where each employee is treated as a human being, not a human resource.
In the past, the defining characteristic of HR was ‘policy first’. The defining characteristic of people and culture is ‘people first’.
The benefits of People and Culture.
As HR accelerates its transformation into a modern and progressive people and culture function, it is clear that people and culture is now one of the most strategically important functions in our organizations. No longer seeking to have a seat at the table, people and culture become the table around which leaders, managers, employees and a wide range of stakeholders listen, learn, grow and flourish. This is because people and culture:
- Puts people before policy.
- Is proactive, predictive and transformational.
- Takes full responsibility for co-creating and sustaining a positive workplace culture.
- Embed systems which underpin a happy, healthy, harmonious and high performing workplace.
- Create safe, empowering fair, just and inclusive systems for resolving issue at work.
- Reject retribution (blame, shame and punish) and become the custodians of transformative justice (just, learning, and restorative).
- Possess modern capabilities ensuring readiness for today’s challenges such as systems thinking, appreciative inquiry, nudge theory, coaching, positive psychology, mediation and principled negotiation.
- Shift from business partner to people partner = an inclusive and empowering term that reinforces the message that people are the business.
- Are engaged, collaborative and widely trusted.
- Are agile, flexible adaptable and embraces digital transformation.
- Focus on coaching, mentoring and dialogue (opportunity).
- Are one of the most strategically important functions in the modern workplace.
