Staff of The Family Law Company in their new Divorce and Finance suite, Exeter.
Focussing on employee engagement, support and training has enabled a niche, Exeter based law firm to gain a prestigious, nationally accredited award.
The Family Law Company by Hartnell Chanot was awarded the Investors in People Standard for the way that they have successfully managed to develop support and motivate their ever growing team of family law specialists and business support teams.
The Investors in People framework, which is suitable for organisations of any size and in any sector, transforms business performance through people, helping companies to achieve their objectives by targeting specific priorities within the organisation.
The award was granted following an assessment that involved a number of staff interviews and focus group sessions in both their Exeter and Plymouth offices. The firm sailed through the assessment process on their first attempt.
A final report issued to the organisation following the assessment, praised the company on the clear vision and ethos shared by each employee regarding their drive to put client satisfaction at the forefront of their thinking.
The report also acknowledged a range of efforts by the firm’s management team to improve corporate structure and manage engagement during a major rebranding exercise that took place in October last year.
HR Business Manager, Nicki Bidgood of The Family Law Company by Hartnell Chanot, which now employs some 80 staff, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to have gained this award. At The Family Law Company we pride ourselves on the focus we put on training, mentoring and supporting our staff. This accreditation really acknowledges the hard work that has been put in by everybody at the firm.” She went on to say, “Our reputation as an excellent employer with very clear vision has helped us attract a number of leading individuals in recent years.”
Organisations that have achieved the Investors in People Standard generally have lower staff turnover and sickness rates, lower recruitment costs and a reduced likelihood of litigation. In addition, they tend to have increased levels of profitability, employee engagement and productivity.
John Telfer, Managing Director of Investors in People South, said:
“This award is a celebration of both management and staff learning from each other and collaborating together to create an efficient and enjoyable working environment. I look forward to hearing about further success and award recognition from The Family Law Company in the future.”
