Our Partners

Our Partners

Although we can provide a comprehensive service from our existing team, we recognise that in some areas you need more detailed expert advice. So, we have teamed up with those organisations we consider to be some of the best in the business for providing additional services in the areas of Health & Safety, Cloud-based HR Systems, Data Protection, Private Health Insurance, a Global Employment Platform and Outsourcing Support as part of our Outplacement service.

We create a Project Team with the relevant individuals from within these organisations, and add them to our own SYLO | Beyond HR. experts, take your brief and then ensure we deliver integrated solutions and results, every time.

A brief synopsis of what each of these organisations can provide is covered below. Please contact us on 01844 216290 or enquiries@sylobeyondhr.com if you would like to discuss any of these services further.

All Consultants hold at least a NEBOSH Diploma, Part 1 (or equivalent) and have 14 – 30 years’ experience in Health & Safety.  Additionally, they work with external specialist Consultants, most of whom have provided services for many years.

Outplacement - Allen Associates

Helping you to support your redundant staff

If your organisation has had to make the difficult, but necessary decision to let people go, you will almost certainly want to help them prepare for today’s highly competitive jobs market. Outplacement support can make all the difference.

Collaborating with Specialists

We have teamed up with SYLO | Beyond HR. – an award-winning, Oxfordshire-based consultancy – to bring you a range of specialist Outplacement Services and Support.

With so many organisations now looking to restructure their workforces, more and more people are facing redundancy. Outplacement Services can make a real difference to employees who have lost their jobs as well as their employers who, in our experience, almost always want to do the right thing by the individuals affected while reassuring the rest of their workforce that they care.

What is Outplacement?

Outplacement Services provide professional direction and guidance to employees leaving an organisation and who need support in understanding their options as well as practical advice on what to do or where to go next. Organisations that care deeply about their employer brand and invest in their people are often keen to support selected staff members as they transition back into the jobs market at this challenging time.

A Choice of Support Packages

SYLO | Beyond HR’s support packages incorporate a wide variety of activities which are delivered through bespoke, online sessions. They are tailored to suit each person’s individual needs and range from skills analysis, CV writing, interview preparation, confidence-building, and transition support to re-training, self-employment options and even retirement. One-to-one coaching is also available together with specialised assessment tools.

There are different packages available, depending on whether the requirement is for personal support, group support or to include a coaching and mentoring element.

Why invest in Outgoing Employees?

Even in the most challenging conditions, most organisations want to do their utmost to protect their brand reputation and demonstrate that they are socially responsible employers. By providing Outplacement support and services to affected employees, employers / businesses are sending out a strong signal to the individuals as well as the rest of their workforce that they care about their people and are seen to be living their values.

Outplacement provides outgoing employees who may be a particularly low ebb, with a positive focus and much-needed support during what is often a very difficult time.

What our clients think
  • “

    The coaching sessions I had with Sally were hugely empowering, nurturing and constructive. Sally provided a wonderful and safe space in which I could reflect on where I am and where I want to be. She helped me work through and build practical strategies, laying down a personal plan for how to progress and reach my goals. I would recommend SYLO’s services to anyone looking for a tailored and forward-thinking approach to professional and executive coaching.

    ”

    Hannah McCracken, Client Services Director – Global Management Consultancy

    The wonderful support from SYLO Beyond HR has enabled us to ensure our foundations are in place to support growth, whilst also maintaining and driving the culture that is important for us to have in place.  They have truly worked in partnership with us and provide consistent support to help us drive priorities forward.

    ”

    Carolyn Hicks, Co-founder/CFO COO – Brill Power

  • “

    ​I found working with Sally incredibly comfortable.  She helped me to define the real issues and then guided me through figuring out a solution. This resulted in a huge shift in the workload I was carrying to manageable levels, greater and welcomed empowerment for the talent in my team, and a manager (mine) who was fully up to speed on what was actually going on.

    ”

    Georgina Carey, Senior Manager – Transport For London

  • “

    We have been using Breathe over the last term to track our staff holidays. This is a great system as it highlights different cohorts of staff and when is free for others to book on the calendar. This has supported our ratio requirements and helped us to track holiday entitlements.

    We like the system so much that we have extended it to using the staffing schedules to log staff attendance and hours needed to be processed for payroll. Sharon has been so helpful in helping us set up different employees work patterns and it has been really effective for our nursery needs.

    We met with SYLO to discuss creating an in-house Leadership Programme and felt confident in their ability to help us deliver our vision.  They designed and delivered various modules and one-to-one coaching for the Leadership.  

    The SYLO team pivoted from face-to-face to online training during the COVID-19 pandemic and our employees were able to continue to learn and develop. It has been a pleasure to work with the SYLO team this past 5 years and they continue to contribute to our business success.

    Businesses must act and not just speak the words of inclusion but support the world to become more equitable. We needed support to guide these conversations within our agency and to get the whole team involved in creating change.  SYLO | Beyond HR gave guidance and clarity to create an agenda over 6 engaging workshops with experienced facilitators.  This year we look forward to working with SYLO on developing more training sessions and organisational process improvements. 

    ”

    Lexi Clarke, Agency Director – Action Rocket, London

    We outsource our HR and have been supported by SYLO for over two years; they have handled everything in a timely and professional manner.

    We appointed SYLO for a one-off project.

    During COVID-19, we decided to rework and update all aspects of our HR & GDPR and health and safety policies. We engaged SYLO to help guide us through what can be a very daunting, and complicated set of processes. We have been very impressed with their speed and attention to detail.

    Sarah and Sally from SYLO are loyal and enthusiastic supporters of Lord Williams’ School. They deliver sixth form workshops with an employment-related focus, provide work experience placements, and attend the school business breakfast meetings. Sally and Sarah adapt their experience to the classroom situation to engage and inform our young people in their preparation for the workplace. 

    I am delighted with and very grateful for the support SYLO has shown Lord Williams’s School and I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with them in the coming years.

    We are coming up to our second anniversary of using Breathe HR and I can honestly say we would be lost without it now.  It’s improved our HR recording beyond measure with everything being secure in one place and no paper files!!  The massive time-saver is the annual leave functionality, which is automated and intuitive and makes the whole process painless. I have a bird’s eye view of it all. 

    ”

    Seana McLachlan, Office Manager – Doig Furniture

  • “

    As the recently appointed voluntary Commercial Director of a small-town sports club I was faced with the daunting task of establishing employment contracts with my part-time bar and catering staff, and also putting in place an HR documentation system. With the support of SYLO this has been accomplished to my total satisfaction and at a cost that I consider very reasonable. The SYLO team that I have worked with have been very fast, efficient and extremely professional and I cannot recommend them more highly.

    ”

    David Leggett, Sports Club Commercial Director – Marlow
