Tru Champions - Vol 4 - The HR Team

Welcome to the latest edition of our esteemed Tru Champions series, where we endeavour to share the compelling stories of some of the most influential figures in our sphere. These remarkable individuals not only inspire and challenge us but also embody the core Tru Talent values of 'Grow, Empower, Nurture.'

Before we introduce you to our esteemed Tru Champions for this month, we invite you to reflect on some of our past featured champions. Our journey began with Chandos Green, a prominent public speaker, co-founder, campaigner, and advocate for disability and mental health rights and equality. We then revved up the excitement with Will St James, an esteemed F1000 race car driver and owner of a marketing agency exclusively dedicated to supporting drivers in the industry. And who can forget the heartfelt feature on Jess Ross, the visionary owner of Smashtag social media agency?

This month, we are delighted to present Tracy Michael and Kelly Marsden, the exceptional owners of The HR Team. As HR holds a special place in our hearts here at Tru Talent, we take great pride in hosting a widely acclaimed HR forum every month that brings together HR leaders and business owners. Tracy and Kelly have not only inspired our team but have also left an indelible mark on countless others through their invaluable contributions to our HR forum and their tireless efforts in the field.

The HR Team is a boutique HR consultancy nestled on the picturesque South Coast of England, offering expert outsourced HR support and advice to SMEs across diverse industries. Their superpower lies in empowering business owners to rest easy, knowing their HR requirements are in capable hands. Providing a professional, efficient, and bespoke solution tailored to each unique business, Tracy and Kelly ensure that companies, whether time-poor or lacking in-house resources, receive the support and guidance essential to thrive.

In the labyrinthine realm of HR, navigating the treacherous waters can be daunting, fraught with pitfalls and challenges. Tracy and Kelly's passion lies in safeguarding business owners from potential exploitation and cultivating a harmonious and engaged workforce. From contracts of employment to disciplinary matters, training and development, health and safety, and performance management, The HR Team covers every aspect of HR, ensuring a flourishing business and a contented team aligned with the business's mission and vision.

Tracy and Kelly's unwavering dedication to people shines through their personable and empathetic approach. With a profound understanding of their clients' needs, they foster honest and authentic relationships that set them apart from the larger, self-service style HR providers. Their willingness to lend a listening ear and provide unwavering support echoes the challenges faced by business leaders, offering a beacon of solace in stressful and isolating times.

The HR Team's growth has flourished over the past five years and has been built on its reputation. New clients predominantly emerge from the glowing recommendations of satisfied clients—a testament to their exemplary service and unmatched dedication.

When asked about their driving force, Tracy articulates a commitment to provide a personal, knowledgeable, and honest service, bolstered by cultivating strong relationships at all organisational levels. For Kelly, the crux lies in recognising the profound impact of employee well-being and staff morale on overall productivity and success. She aims to empower business leaders to foster a workplace culture where teams feel valued, and their well-being remains a top priority.

Now, as we unveil our customary Big Three questions segment, Tracy and Kelly shed light on a possible misconception due to their amiable and approachable demeanors. One may assume that their warmth belies their ability to tackle substantial HR challenges—however, this perception has been dispelled time and again by their proven track record in expertly resolving even the most formidable obstacles.

If given a billboard, their heartfelt message would read "Just Be Kind," a simple yet potent reminder that genuine compassion can positively impact lives in profound ways. They emphasize the significance of understanding that everyone faces personal struggles, encouraging kindness as a free and powerful force for good.

Lastly, reflecting on their own journey, Tracy and Kelly would reassure their 16-year-old selves with words of self-belief and encouragement to seize every opportunity fearlessly. Understanding that self-doubt can be one's greatest adversary, they advocate for trusting oneself and embracing the potential for extraordinary experiences.

As per tradition, the esteemed Jess Ross from Smashtag Social posed a question for Tracy and Kelly: "If you could be remembered for one thing, what would it be?" This captivating inquiry will be answered in the forthcoming chapter of our Tru Champions series, featuring the next remarkable champion.
