Leeds City Region Business Support

Know+Do are delighted to announce we have been chosen as a provider of business mentoring in the Leeds City Region; only a select group of consultancies were chosen by the Higher Performing Workplaces programme. Our support will build your employees’ skills to cope with the current volatile and complex challenges you face.

What does this mean?

Well, if you are a business that meets the following criteria you can access business mentoring from Know+Do at a heavily subsidised rate:

• Be based within the Leeds City Region, that is: Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby, Wakefield and York; and,

• Employ fewer than 250 full time equivalent staff; and,

• Your annual turnover does not exceed €50 million

The mentoring can be used by the key people in your business to focus on business performance or their own personal development. All work approved under this scheme is eligible for a 40% subsidy, for example:

6 mentor meetings for 2 hours each at £250 per session would normally cost a business £1,500+VAT.

Under this scheme this would be reduced to just £900+VAT; with the remaining £600+VAT being paid by the scheme.

Our expertise can support improvements to leadership, communication or teamwork, increasing staff retention, employee engagement, or, the financial health of the business. We design our support to meet your specific needs. All meetings can be via online technology (e.g. Zoom, Teams).

Funds are limited and allocated on a first apply basis, HPW must approve every contract before we begin; Know+Do keep an audit trail of evidence which we will need the client to confirm.

Application is via Know+Do so if you are interested in discussing options please email info@knowanddo.com or call 0161 2804567.

This mentoring offer through the Higher Performing Workplaces programme is managed by the West Yorkshire Consortium of Colleges and funded by the European Social Fund
