Business Group Review

Hedgehog Consulting was asked by a council to review a property/infrastructure business group and its workforce capability.

A review was undertaken over a month. Managers and specialist positions were interviewed. Analysis of the groups design, its workforce, and related costs was undertaken.

Hedgehog consulting collaborated with the council human resources team. The review considered:
 

• Service design and performance
• Workforce capability and structure
• Talent retention and succession pathways
• The accuracy of position descriptions
• Overall and comparative staffing costs

Hedgehog Consulting produced a report that identified opportunities, supported by analysis. The report recommendations were endorsed by the group manager, and changes were adopted. Staff were positive about the engagement and the direct results.
