A touch of science.

We use Behavioural Science principles to support change in your organisation. Behavioural Science delves into how people make decisions, interact, and perform in organisations. It’s the secret sauce that helps us understand the ‘why’ behind human behaviour and decision-making, turning insights into action.

In HR and Organisational Development, we use Behavioural Science to craft strategies that resonate with your team. Imagine creating work environments where motivation thrives, collaboration is second nature, and change is embraced – that’s the magic of applying Behavioural Science!

It’s all about fostering positive behavior, enhancing employee engagement, and building high-performing, resilient organisations.

How can we help your organisation?

  • OD can help improve communication within your organisation, which is crucial for coordinating activities, fostering teamwork, and resolving conflicts.

  • By fostering a positive work environment and addressing employee concerns, OD can help improve job satisfaction, reduce turnover, and increase employee engagement and commitment.

  • OD provides tools and techniques for managing organisational change effectively, helping your organisation to adapt to new market conditions, technologies, and internal changes.

  • OD can facilitate strategic planning processes, helping to align your objectives and activities with the overall vision and mission of your organisation.

  • OD can help identify and improve inefficient processes within your organisation, leading to increased operational efficiency and effectiveness.

  • OD can prepare your organisation for growth by ensuring that structures, processes, and people are scalable and adaptable to increasing complexity.

Marian McDonald - Chair, Garvald West Linton

“Following on from a Strategic Review, we commissioned Square Peg HR to undertake a comprehensive review of roles, responsibilities, job descriptions and pay structures across our organisation.  Over a four-month period Carolyn and Frances worked to a timetable which involved meeting with a range of staff and working behind the scenes to research/analysis information to produce a report to our Directors at the end of November. They brought enthusiastic, interest in our organisation and focus, along with their professional expertise and experience to the task and the final report was used as guide for our future organisational decisions. They continued to offer invaluable support in the recruitment process for an HR post as part of our future plan.”

Rab Chrichton - General Manager, Garvald West Linton

“We were very impressed by the depth and quality of their research when carrying out a bench-marking exercise in the care sector. The final report was clear and a great help to our directors in their decision making. Consultation with our staff was thorough and carried out with enthusiasm.”
