He feels that action must be taken right now to turn the tide and before we lose decades to lost productivity and employee disengagement.

This is not the fault of the workforce but a leadership crisis. Nigel goes on to discuss that there are no bad leaders but only misinformed and unaware ones.

I am the Founder at Quest Consulting Services and I started my business to enable small - medium sized businesses get honest and practical advice in all things HR and people related.
I have built the business with a team that have business experience as well as HR expertise and so we pride ourselves on the fact we won&apos;t sit on the fence!
We support start ups who are employing their first member of staff right up to well established business with over 250 employees. Our message has always been the same - to give an affordable service, straight talking advice and for my team to be an extension of yours.
I also developed our People Plan Programme which gives smaller businesses access to an affordable way to think about their Employee Journey and how to put a people strategy in place to attract and retain the best people and have an engaged workforce behind your business.
To better develop Line Managers, we have created a range of workshops that are only 1/2 days and give very interactive and practical guidance on the types of issues Managers experience day to day - and if handled incorrectly can cause huge issues for businesses.
I love working with businesses that value their people and have a passion for what they do.
