Employee Relations, Learning, Development and Motivation Consultants
Specialists in Corporate Stress Management


An Excellent Reputation Backed By Qualifications, Experience and Practical Application
Humphrey Klinkenberg established H. Klinkenberg and Associates in 1993 and has worked with Government organisations, national companies and many private companies including many small and medium sized businesses.
We believe in developing long term relationships with clients and we remain as a advisers to a large number of client organisations, many years after the original contracted service, often returning to update, audit and maintain systems.
Background
Coming from a health, safety, quality and environmental consultancy background we apply that knowledge to provide solutions that fit into existing practices and procedures, minimising any increases in documentation and workload.
Today we provides a broad range of services drawing on the expertise of a National association of specialist consultants. This ensures that solutions to clients problems are appropriate, innovative and effective, yet avoid unnecessary complexity.
Keep It Simple
We believe in providing solutions that are simple and effective. This approach is founded on our belief that unnecessary complexity increases costs, causes stress and undermines efficiency.
Every solution is based, as much as possible, on a client’s existing practices, procedures and ethos, so every solution is designed to fit that particular organisation.
We work to best practice standards, however we do not provide standard solutions. We believe that every organisation is unique, so we ensure that every client is treated individually.

SOLUTIONS
We provide innovative and creative ways in which we can help our clients be more effective in improving employee productivity, without undermining their ethos or working practices.
We are happy to work alongside our clients helping as and when required, simply adding our expertise to suggest appropriate actions and solutions to maximise employee effectiveness and ensure compliance.

STRESS RISK ASSESSMENT
Much of our work today is involved in helping clients meet their legal duty with regard to stress risk assessments, and minimising of stress risk is the workplace. This is to achieve compliance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
We are a solutions based consultancy. The solutions we suggest to minimise stress risk within the workplace are based on our 14 years experience in stress risk management, and designed to meet the best practice standards as described in the Health and Safety Executive’s Stress Management Standards.
We are one of the few consultancies able to provide professional consultants and trainers who hold British University qualifications with post graduate level credit in Stress Management, and a certified management systems Lead Audit Assessor.

STRESS MANAGEMENT
We provide a sensible, realistic professional approach to the management of workplace stress, applying the principal that pressure is good but stress is harmful. Stress is commonly the result of excessive pressure, a lack of employee capability or unacceptable practices such as bullying or discrimination.

MAXIMISING EMPLOYEE EFFECTIVENESS
What resources are being lost or wasted due to poor working relationships, low morale, sickness, absenteeism, mistakes, errors, accidents or poor staff retention?

MANAGER EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS
There is a direct relationship between employee moral, motivation and productivity and the attitudes and abilities of their line managers.
The 360° Management Review identifies weaknesses in management / staff relationships so enables manager reorganisation training to be targeted where it will be most effective.
