Bringing Together HR Expertise and Proactive Employee Wellbeing
We’re really pleased to be working alongside Impact HR, bringing together their professional HR expertise and practical people support with Life & Progress’ range of employee wellbeing services.
For many organisations, particularly SMEs, having access to trusted HR advice can make an enormous difference. Whether dealing with everyday people matters, supporting managers or navigating more complex workplace situations, having the right expertise available helps businesses make confident, informed decisions.
Alongside good HR support, there is also a growing recognition that employee wellbeing plays an important role in creating healthy, productive and resilient workplaces.
That is where our working relationship with Impact HR fits particularly well.
Complementary Support for Clients and Their People
Impact HR brings professional HR knowledge and practical people support to its clients, while Life & Progress provides access to a broad range of proactive employee wellbeing services.
These include our account-managed Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), GP Support, MyMindPal mental wellbeing resources, Whiss confidential reporting, together with a wider range of complementary services designed to support employees, managers and organisations.
Bringing these areas together gives clients access to a more joined-up approach.
HR professionals and managers can concentrate on addressing workplace and employment matters, while employees have access to confidential, independent resources that can support them with personal, emotional, practical and wellbeing concerns.
Supporting Early Intervention
One of the real benefits of combining HR and wellbeing support is the opportunity for earlier intervention.
Challenges outside the workplace do not simply disappear when someone arrives at work. Financial worries, relationship difficulties, bereavement, caring responsibilities, health concerns and emotional pressures can all have an impact on an employee’s wellbeing, attendance and performance.
Equally, workplace pressures, organisational change, difficult relationships or periods of absence can affect how someone feels and performs.
Having appropriate wellbeing services available gives HR professionals and managers somewhere constructive to signpost employees when additional support may be beneficial.
An EAP, for example, can complement established HR processes such as absence management, return-to-work conversations, management referrals and wider employee wellbeing initiatives.
It is not about replacing good HR practice. It is about providing another layer of professional support around it.
More Than Simply Providing a Service
At Life & Progress, we believe employee wellbeing services deliver the greatest value when employees actually understand and engage with them.
That is why our approach goes beyond simply arranging an EAP or wellbeing service.
We provide ongoing account management, helping clients promote their services, maintain awareness and encourage employees to make use of the support available. We can also work alongside HR partners to help ensure wellbeing resources become a visible and practical part of the organisation’s wider people strategy.
This approach complements the work of HR consultancies such as Impact HR particularly well.
It means clients can benefit from professional HR guidance alongside proactive wellbeing resources, with both contributing towards the same objective: supporting people and helping organisations build stronger, healthier workplaces.
Working Together for Our Mutual Clients
The best partnerships are those where different areas of expertise complement one another and ultimately create greater value for the client.
Our relationship with Impact HR is a good example of that approach.
By combining their HR expertise and practical people support with our specialist employee wellbeing services and account management, we can help organisations put appropriate support in place for both managers and employees.
We’re delighted to have Impact HR as one of our trusted partners and look forward to continuing to develop our relationship, supporting our mutual clients and their people for many years to come.
