Getting HR Confident - HR Katie and pirkx

We all know that for businesses, team member’s wellbeing is vital to success. On top of this, according to Gov.org, as of 2022 SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) accounted for 99.9% of the UK business population.

So, if we all know the importance of caring for a team, and so many UK teams are SMEs – then why is it so hard for these businesses to find accessible and affordable HR resources?

Here at pirkx we are trying to provide a solution to just this problem, and we believe that our newest partnership with HR superstar, HR Katie will help us do just that…

For over a decade, Katie has worked in SME HR and, since setting up her own business in 2021, has been making support accessible for more businesses; steering them towards better people management strategies. Passionate about fostering wellbeing in the workplace, Katie has a particular focus on supporting small businesses that may lack access to affordable and comprehensive resources for their employees. Recognising the pivotal role that employee wellbeing plays in the success of any business, Katie has teamed up with us here at pirkx to try to help more businesses than ever.

Here at pirkx, we offer an array of benefits and services designed to comprehensively address the diverse needs of employees. From online GP consultations to counselling sessions, fitness classes, and shopping discounts, our platform offers a one-stop solution for businesses looking to invest in the health and happiness of their workforce.

Katie's hands-on experience in navigating the intricacies of people management, especially in smaller businesses, adds a valuable perspective to our mission. We are thrilled to have Katie on board, championing our cause to bring these resources to as many people as possible.

As part of our collaboration, we are excited to announce that over the next 8 weeks we will be releasing a series of blogs featuring HR tips and tricks curated by Katie herself to help address more of your SME HR queries. With this series, we aim to create a wealth of knowledge to allow workplaces to feel HR confident – so stay tuned for more…!
