Creative People Solutions
At Jam Jar we understand that HR can seem a bit “sticky” at times, but we also know that once all of the boxes are ticked, the people at the heart of your organisation also form your unique superpower!
We understand that every business is different, and therefore we don’t have a one size fits all approach. We like to meet you, understand you, and really listen to what matters to you.
PEOPLE
In order to grow and evolve your business strategically, and maximise performance, you need people solutions that are both practical and commercial. We can help you to manage, develop and understand your people to maximise their capabilities.
SOLUTIONS
Whether creating HR strategies, training your people managers or coaching your leaders, we will design a package that suits your business and is aligned to your values and objectives. We work alongside you to deliver creative and pragmatic people solutions, as one of the team.

HR - the ESSENTIALS
At Jam Jar HR we want to take away your worries and leave you to concentrate on the big, exciting stuff. We are happy to answer questions and offer advice, or simply be your sounding board, but we also have the expertise to handle the more complex cases on your behalf. Our aim is to ensure you have all the tools in place to feel confident that you are legally compliant, and skilled to handle things as they come up.
We can provide contracts of employment, policies and guidelines, employee handbooks and any necessary documentation you may require to ensure you are fully prepared.
If you need advice and support with maternity, paternity and flexible working queries, as well as absence cases, we’re there for you. We understand that every situation is different and strive to achieve a result that is best for everyone.
In addition, we can also support and advise you on any employee relations case work such as disciplinaries, grievances, or redundancies.
Training Development & support
We believe that you already have the potential within your organisation to effectively manage your people.
At Jam Jar HR, we want to empower leaders and managers to confidently get the best out of their team. Your focus might be in a certain area, or possibly it’s a full training programme we create together, that bit is up to you. We know that training can be costly and takes valuable business time, so we deliver a series of over 30 speedy workshops offering bitesize, modular learning.
All modules can be run in as little as an hour but can be extended as required to allow for deeper understanding, additional exercises or discussion. They can be tailored to your business, in a way that suits your needs and budget, and aligns with any policies you have in place.
And if you have a specific need we can, of course, develop it just for you!
Leadership Assessment & Coaching
As an accredited Facet5 practitioner I truly believe in the use of this powerful personality profiling tool to coach and support Leaders, Managers and individuals to drive performance, while achieving alignment with their own personal values and beliefs.
Facet5 is one of the most modern and advanced measures of personality available today. Used by organisations and consultancies worldwide, Facet5 harnesses the power of personality, supporting individuals, teams and businesses to realise their full potential. Facet5 provides a simple model and a common language to explain how people differ in their behaviour, motivation and attitudes, and more importantly, what can be achieved.
Working together we can set objectives and development plans for you and your teams, and provide coaching to ensure your management team is set up to lead with impact.
PEOPLE PROJECTS
We understand that delivering a successful people strategy is a lot of work, so we are happy to take on these projects for you.

Whatever it is, let us do the leg work.
Jam Jar HR can simply help you to formulate a plan, or fully manage the project, either way, we are sure of great results.
