Welcome to GrowthHUB
The GrowthHUB Group is a specialist management consulting practice, operating across Europe, Middle East and Asia from our Dubai base.
From our origins in HR leadership and digital transformation, today the Group operates at the confluence of the 3 core components of an effective organisation,
- People – the science behind motivating a workforce to perform
- System – how the organisation’s assets are configured to deliver performance
- Process – how effectively people (or technology) performs key processes
We help leaders focus in on the aspects of how their organisation is configured which make a fundamental difference to an entity’s performance. We’ve worked with billion $ startups, right through to restructuring 40 year old family conglomerates and private offices. But we also support the SME sector too – an often neglected segment in the consulting world.
No two engagements are the same, our projects range from supporting entire HR transformations to providing technical / subject matter expertise in focused areas of Human Resources such as strategic workforce planning, organisation development, leadership development and compensation & benefits.
Robotic Process Automation
One aspect of our work which is becoming increasingly important, is the use of AI and Robotic Process Automation. We believe HR of the future must consider not only work done by people, but eliminating wasted resources such as using people to do work that requires no cognitive ability.
We’ve pioneered the use of game changing automations across the staffing, education, industrial and logistics fields in recent times, and are constantly developing new use cases in RPA technology.
We’re currently partnering with some of the biggest companies in UAE to roll out a transformational RPA solution to automate the entire onboarding and UAE immigration process. This is a first for UAE, and is a first step in applying RPA to a problem that every UAE organisation has with the clunky processes involved around hiring, onboarding and visa processing. For any workforce of over 400 FTE – this solution is a game-changer, and will reduce your HR and PRO costs for these processes by upto 75%
Our unique SaaS model delivers big results for our clients with no upfront costs, and guaranteed ongoing service. To know more, reach out to John Butterworth on 0543252213
OUR SERVICES
Strategic Workforce Planning
Strategic workforce planning validates that anorganisation has the capability and capacity to
deliver the business strategy.
Without the right people at the right time, place and cost,
companies risk eroding their competitiveness because people — not technologies —are still the differentiators in the digital era.
Scenario-based strategic
workforce planning is based on a foundation of HR analytics. We support organisations to improve their analytics capability from descriptive to predictive.
Compensation & Benefits
Effective systems of reward help an organisation become more competetive, retain key staff and reduce turnover.
We support clients with job evaluation, benchmarking pay and benefits and development of both fixed and variable reward components ranging from sales incentives, employee share options and executive compensation.
We’re experienced in all the main job evaluation tools such as Hay, Mercer, Towers Watson, and even design bespoke approaches where it is right for the client.
Organisation Design & Alignment
Although every organisation is different, and there is no set formula for determining the
design, organisational design is a step-by-step methodology which identifies dysfunctional aspects of workflow, procedures, structures and systems.
We ensure your structures, culture, governance, policies, technology and all other artefacts of the ‘organisation’ are aligned with your vision, mission, values and organisation’s wider strategy.
Managing Performance
A comprehensive performance management approach is an essential element of attracting and retaining key employees, thus significantly improving the organisation’s performance.
Yet we often see approaches to PM, where unwittingly theprogram design, drives unwanted outcomes and behaviours, which are a major drag on organisation-wide performance.
We work closely with our clients to understand their needs, to design programs which ensure the entire workforce is pulling in the same direction.
Talent Acquisition Strategy
We work in partnership with some of the biggest and best recruitment and executive search agencies in the world – our partners are a vital part of our business.
We don’t undertake search assignments ourselves, but we do support with the strategic aspect of how your organisation acquires new talent.
We develop your employer brand, identify critical jobs and associated sourcing strategies, assessment of candidates and effective pre-boarding and on-boarding of new hires to reduce a new hire’s time to 100% productivity
Employee Engagement
An engaged workforce is the outcome of creating the right conditions for members of an organisation to give their best each day, committed to shared goals and values, motivated to contribute, with an enhanced sense of their own well-being.
It is an approach that contributes to enhanced individual performance, productivity and well-being which roll up to create higher performing teams, divisions and organisations.
We support clients with development of measurement tools, evaluation and facilitation of action planning.
Employee Relations & Investigations
Managing disputes is a natural consequence of having a workforce. However we often see ER as a HR activity in less mature models where Line Managers lack the appropriate training and experience to manage such matters, with legal consequences.
We believe prevention is better than cure, supporting clients in the development of robust employment contracts, policies and clearly documented processes. These steps combine to prevent the majority of disputes occurring.
We offer case management services in the event of sensitive or complex investigations and help you to stay on the right side of the law!
Sale/Purchase Support
When considering acquiring a business, the investor naturally conduct financial analysis to assess value and potential of a business. Yet given the key component of the organisation is always talent, nobody ever looks at the value creation opportunity that lies within a workforce that is not optimised for success – and they rarely consider this post-acquisition too.
We’ve developed a unique approach to valuing unrealised potential (and fat) in the way a business manages talent. We support both pre and post acquisition, working with Private Equity, Private Offices and Asset Managers to identify value creation opportunities.
