Today I am interviewing Emily Perry who is the Founder of The People Consultancy. Today's episode is part of the series on "HR challenges faced by SME's", where I will be interviewing HR experts on key topics to help SME organisations.

Emily started the conversation by saying before you even think about your people in your business, is to get clear what your business goals are, who you are as a business, what is unique, so that you can share with confidence and clarity to your people - this is the starting point to determine your approach to your people. Then you can decide what roles you need for the company, what are the expectations of these roles and in essence what would good look like. The overarching theme that Emily shared in getting the best out of your people was 'have conversations', that interact, listen and empower people - do this frequently and don't wait for formal reviews once a year, keep an ongoing dialogue with your people.
