Overview from 4 interim professionals

1. How an Interim Manager Can Support your
Goals Post "Brexit" - Our 8 Insights
The voting population of the UK have made their choice in the EU
Referendum, after 3 months of “wait and see” uncertainty. Realistically we
cannot expect an overnight sea-change in how the UK will function. The
implications of the decision could actually take months to filter through and
impact on UK businesses.
Many companies until now have put recruitment decisions on the back
burner, holding off on filling vacancies or driving forward important business
projects. So, starting this week pro-active companies will now want to be
taking the initiative to move forward, create more certainty for their
workforce and take the necessary action to generate stability for their
business.

2. With over one hundred years’ human resources management experience
between us * we are now sharing our eight insights with you here on how
an interim expert can support your goals post Brexit, help your business
leaders and managers to drive important business and people-related
decisions forward, and assist you in maintaining crucial bottom line results.
1. Filling the Void During Times of Uncertainty
In times of planned changes/transformation for your business, and
uncertainty about the overall economy or what skills you will be hiring for
the mid-term future, an experienced interim manager can make things
happen quickly whilst giving you time to plan ahead on the back of
the "Leave"decision and all that may bring. There is unlikely to be an
immediate, significant change to people policy or practice on the back of
the Referendum outcome, but interim management experience can greatly
assist your business with any changes required, and in keeping other
business critical processes flowing.
2. Experience + Speed
Interim managers are seasoned and experienced professionals who can hit
the ground running helping you to make business critical decisions quickly
and effectively. Interim managers are self-managing and business-focused,
taking pressure off potentially already busy management/leadership teams.
3. Cost Effective with Minimal Risk
No employer liability, NI, pensions or bonus to pay. Flexible day-rate
payment options, only paying for days/time actually worked. No holiday or

3. sick pay to budget for. No payroll costs. Business head count risk reduced
during times of uncertainty. Interims hold their own liability insurance.
4. Critical Friend
Interim managers bring with them a toolkit of what to do and quick ways to
do it. Equally they can advise on what not to do and the pitfalls to avoid
based on similar work they have been involved in with other previous
companies. This is valuable experience and provides a useful short term
resource to compliment your existing team. They will work with you and
also act as a “critical friend “, giving you objective coaching and advice.
5. Knowledge Transfer
Experienced Interim managers share exceptionally valuable knowledge
and expertise that you should never under estimate. An interim manager
won’t be looking to make a career for themselves with you, or to keep
knowledge to themselves; they aim to leave a positive legacy behind them
and then move on.
6. Both Strategic and Practical
Interim managers can be both strategic and hands on, with knowledge in
practical application as well as the theory. Chances are they have helped
other organisations through exactly your pressure points. They have been
there, done that, and got the grey hairs to prove it! They are certainly much
less expensive and often more seasoned as practitioners than most of the
big consulting firms.

4. 7. Great Coaches!
Interim managers can be great coaches for business leaders, management
and project teams; and all this is included in the cost!
Because of the variety of sectors that they have worked in, they bring a
wealth of knowledge and lots of good case studies to share with you. This
enables those really useful low risk discussions with you about what went
well, and what didn’t, as well as the key lessons learnt!
With their guiding support, your business managers can then apply and
implement this learning across your transformation projects, enabling you
to deliver a significant and accelerated positive impact on business results.
8. Good Value for Money £ € £
When you consider the return on investment that an interim manager can
bring your company, the whole portfolio of day rates, skills, minimised risk,
experience, coaching, knowledge transfer and flexible working options, it all
really does offer you good value for money!
So …. There are those that wait for things to happen,
Those that wondered what happened….
And those that get on and make things happen!
Make things happen for your company by hiring an interim manager now.
