Commissions

Studies you can commission, not a catalogue of modules

Each commission has a start, a file we actually need, a pack you keep, and a day when we sit with the people who will argue about it. Choose the narrowest study that answers the question in front of you.

Practitioner listening during a conversation in an office

Attrition pattern review

A four-to-six-week look at who is leaving one function or site, in which month, after how long, and what replacements actually cost.

4–6 weeks · Quoted after a file glance

Empty boardroom with a long table and chairs

Board briefing pack

A designed pack for a single board or committee date — establishment, leavers and scenarios already agreed, set in a sequence a non-HR director can follow.

2–3 weeks · Fixed once the source tables exist

Calculator and printed financial papers on a desk

Establishment audit

A reconciliation of funded posts, occupied posts, vacancies and acting-up arrangements so HR and finance stop keeping two lists.

3–5 weeks · Day-rate, usually a short block

Quiet office interior with desks and large windows

Quarterly headcount watch

A retained four-meeting cycle: refreshed leaver maps and establishment drift, timed to your committee calendar rather than ours.

Four quarters · Retainer, billed quarterly

Four colleagues working together at a long office table

Workforce planning commission

An eight-to-twelve-week study that turns payroll and establishment extracts into next-year headcount scenarios, leaver maps and a board briefing pack.

8–12 weeks · Quoted from a day-rate schedule
