The real cost of people decisions nobody talks about

Most business leaders don’t realise the damage until it’s done.

A mis-hire at senior level can cost up to three times that person’s salary. A poorly handled exit becomes a tribunal claim. A weak management layer drives out your best talent quietly — before you even notice.

As AI accelerates how quickly businesses scale, the legal and financial consequences of poor people decisions are scaling with it.

Abi Demi – Managing Director, Spencer & Trent

That’s where we come in

The problem isn’t that you don’t care about your people. It’s that nobody gave you the strategic framework to get it right.

Spencer & Trent brings senior people expertise directly to leadership teams as a strategic partner, not just a service provider.

I especially appreciated how they created a space that was both challenging and supportive, encouraging me to think differently about my approach to leadership. The delivery was engaging and professional throughout, making it easy to apply what I learned directly into my work. Highly recommended for anyone looking to strengthen their leadership skills.

You can’t fix what you can’t see

More leaders are turning to AI for answers, but AI only responds to the questions you ask. The real question is, are you asking the right ones?

Getting it wrong doesn’t just cost you money, it could land you and your business in an employment tribunal.
