People Strategy

Shaping people strategies that underpin business ambitions and creating high value People Functions.

Solutions that can help your people

People Strategy Development

People strategies are shaped by the ambitions of the organisation. We work with HR leaders and their colleagues to facilitate the development of their people strategy. We create a shared understanding of the critical people and organisational challenges and help you to translate the people strategy into concrete and measurable plans.

High Impact HR

We work with forward thinking HR teams to create a high value HR operating model. We ensure the voice of the internal customer is considered so that the work of HR is focused on what matters most. We support the development of the People team and help clients articulate the role of people managers. We also provide deep expertise in shaping key people enablers such as Talent, Employee Experience, Strategic Workforce Planning and Leadership & Organisational Development.

Mightywaters helped us shape a significant organisational transformation. A key component of this was their work with the HR team to develop a people strategy. This work put in place key building blocks that shaped the people dimension of our organisational transformation. This work also positioned the People Team as strategic business partners who played a key role in shaping and executing change

Jodene Young
HR Director

Mightywaters and I have had the opportunity to partner at various critical times during my corporate career, (UK, Continental Europe, Caribbean and the USA), particularly on the development of strategic solutions for People Functions and Executive Management teams. Mark's book - 'Transforming HR: Creating Value Through People' - has been my go to reference material as I have transformed four different People teams to be more commercially dynamic, client orientated and solutions driven. We have made some deep, impactful and lasting change in the organisations where we have been able to play.

Nicky Riding
HR Director

I have worked with Mark on a number of strategic HR and Organisational Design projects over the last 10 years. He is able to turn his hand to anything in his very broad field and produce exceptional quality outcomes. Most recently he undertook an urgent review and refresh of our People Strategy in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic on the aviation and aerospace industries. I am very proud of the resulting People Strategy. It emphasises the importance of adapting to whatever comes our way, personal and organisational learning, and respected leadership, while providing a work environment where everyone feels included and cared for. Mightywaters innately brings insights and order to complex and unstructured situations while balancing differing stakeholder interests with aplomb

Norma Hastings
Head of HR Strategy & Policy

Mightywaters has supported me and my team through the delivery of a challenging people strategy and functional transformation. Their ability to work collaboratively, challenge our thinking and frame the conversations we needed to have has been a catalyst in shifting our contribution within the organisation
