About Kinetic Partners LLP

The senior management team believe in the importance of connecting with their teams on a daily basis and do this in person or by other means, as appropriate, in order to ensure that all important information is communicated in both a timely and effective manner.  Kinetic found that communication was key in effectively engaging employees. Encouraging each team to take ownership of the action plan following the publication of results was also helpful and created a little internal competition alongside the firm wide collaboration which was useful in maintaining engagement too. Kinetic use of a variety of communication vehicles to support a high level of employee engagement in both the survey and its outcomes. Their communication plan included office wide presentations, where the results were shared and summarised both graphically and numerically, manager briefings, manager led collaborative individual team meetings and the nomination of team engagement champions. They also felt it was important to establish a clear feedback mechanism so everyone could be easily updated on progress and knew that their views were taken seriously and were being acted on.

Kinetic Partners is very good at giving employees the development they desire. People are trusted on projects that stretch them all the time and therefore learn a lot. They are coached/monitored by extremely strong leaders. Kinetic also provide more structured training through their KP Academy which focuses on online training and individual skill sets required to succeed in their industry. Training has included: sales and business development, leadership, excel, word and more industry specific training courses. Kinetic are a great company for knowledge sharing as well and regularly have ‘lunch and learn’ sessions to ensure that everyone within the firm has a sound knowledge of their global service offering. Kinetic also hold regular sessions on latest legislation and developments within each service line. Kinetic expect their employees to be proactive in their development and include a PDP in their appraisal process where leaders need to ensure that their teams are stretched by setting objectives that enable both short and medium term personal development goals to be realised. Kinetic's online training portal is accessible to everyone and they encourage the team to spend 2 hours minimum each month on personal development which is linked to the achievement of their objectives as detailed above. Their planned global training matrix will map every level in their organisation and the training required to achieve job success. This will also be a great tool where employees can see how, and in what areas, they need to develop in order to progress in their careers.

EAP schemes are available across the firm and include access to online portals where helpful advice is immediately available. Face to face counselling is included, in addition to the 24/7 helpline. Kinetic have annual flu jabs, organising a nurse to come into the office to administer the vaccinations to encourage as many of the team as possible to take advantage of this benefit. Anyone who cannot take advantage of the on site programme has access to a drop in clinic where they can have the jab at their own convenience. Kinetic have gym membership as one of their flexible benefits and encourage staff to use this benefit to encourage well being and exercise in the firm. They also support a charity run every year where around a quarter of the office run in a 5K fun run fully subsidised by the firm called the 'Chartered City Race'. This is a great way of building team spirit, keeping fit while supporting a good cause. They try to arrange wellness weeks annually to raise the team’s awareness of what is on offer and how they can benefit.
