Hr case management
Focusing on the health and wellbeing of your people
Managing people is one of the most challenging and complex tasks in any business. It’s a fact that employee expectations and needs are changing, so it’s vital that organisations can anticipate and meet ever changing requirements to look after the health and wellbeing of their people.
Keeping up with the latest legislation and best practice is challenging for managers who are not HR professionals. From recruitment, retention and inclusion, attendance, discipline, grievances, probation and performance through to staff development, training and senior management coaching, there are so many aspects to people management.
A supportive and accessible HR case management solution
SSCL’s HR Case Management Service reinforces existing relationships between managers and their people. We provide expert organisational advice when and where it is needed, encouraging reflection and good decision making whilst navigating complex HR cases.
Our expert team of HR specialists supports your managers to look after their people. We help to boost the development of management capability and instil confidence, offering formal and informal coaching to managers. We also offer Q&A sessions and a range of HR ‘masterclasses’.
Underpinned by the latest digital technology
We have developed a specialist app – ‘Case Management for Professionals’ which offers a range of channels for managers to engage with our services. We also provide an easy-to-use document repository solution which builds a digital file per case. This means that everything is in one place, providing easy access and a quick referral back to original documents if needed as part of an appeal or tribunal activity.
Always on and always available
Requests for help and support can be quickly and simply raised via our digital platform, My Hub or from your own HR platform. And we are always available and ready to help on the phone at our HR Case Management Contact Centre.
Take a proactive approach to people management
We know that you’re incredibly busy with BAU. That’s why we don’t wait to be contacted. Instead, we take a proactive approach to looking after your people. We use data extracted from your HR system to identify where issues may develop or support required. This can be based around things like absence trigger points or other flags/indicators.
When this happens, we initiate a case and prompt you to take action.

Diversity and Inclusion
Inclusivity promotes trust and confidence
Treating everyone fairly, with dignity and respect is vital, especially for Public Sector organisations. Ensuring your organisation is genuinely inclusive and representative across society promotes trust and confidence and helps customers and staff feel empowered to speak and contribute.
Diverse teams make better teams
We all know that teams made up of different types of people deliver better results. They bring diversity of thought, experience, and perceptions. It’s a fact that ‘unconscious bias’ exists – but it’s important to recognise and address it from the start. How? With specialist training to ensure greater insight into decision making.
Bespoke D&I solutions – tailored to meet your needs
At SSCL, we design and deliver niche services and solutions that help to make the workplace a better, fairer and more productive place. We know that each business has different challenges, strategies and aspirations, so we tailor every solution to you.
SSCL D&I solutions in action – retaining vital talent
A recent project has involved helping a client to broaden diversity and inclusion in their business by developing a parental support service to improve the experience of new and expectant parents.
This new service offers information, process management and practical help to managers when looking to make adjustments. These involve arranging suitable maternity uniforms as well as introducing newsletters and ‘calls’ to support parents to remain connected with the organisation during parental leave.
The result? The client has retained vital talent and over 850 new parents have enjoyed a momentous time in their lives, while being wholly supported by their employer.
