What support services do you use?

Hannah

Hi everyone,

I'd like to set up a business offering support services to HR managers - maybe things like mediators to help resolve conflicts between staff, or training to increase motivation or team performance, consultancy to address employee wellbeing or assistance for handling issues such as mental health problems in staff.

I'm trying to get a feeling for what there's a requirement for, before I set anything up. Would you mind telling me what kind support services you've used in the past, to give me an idea? Also, if you could tell me where you looked, to find the services that you wanted to use, that would be really helpful.  

Many thanks

    I would echo what Keith has said, focus on a specific service area(s) where you have expertise. I would also add that if you have very specific industry sector experience then target that sector first - expertise plus industry experience is a pretty powerful combination - a significant number of 'buyers' could be swayed into giving you time to discuss what you can offer if they feel you would understand their industry.

    I understood Hannah wasn't intending to do everything herself... but to work with associates, etc.

    But I think the advice possibly still stands. Undoubtedly there will be HR managers commissioning all those services and hundreds more. Building a business around a bunch of associates still needs ( IMO) a common thread and reason or I guess a USP. That usually comes from the founder or principals own expertise or skills, when you buy these services there has to be a reason to chose organisation A over B,C , D,E,F....Y,Z.

    So for me I would still be starting with my own experience or skills I guess.
