REINVENTING REWARD & HR CONSULTING

MCR IS A MARKET-LEADING REWARD AND HR CONSULTANCY DISRUPTOR

We have an established reputation providing human capital and reward consultancy advice and services to clients across a wide spectrum, from large multi-nationals to recent start-ups and scale-ups in the corporate, government, higher education and
not-for-profit sectors. 

OUR SERVICES

What sets us apart from other human capital and reward consultancies is our ‘inverted pyramid’ organisational shape. The seniority of our team of more than 40 expert associates, compared with the typical consulting model, is unusual: we only staff our assignments with highly experienced professionals.


In addition to consultancy, most of our team have also held senior in-house roles so we bring first-hand knowledge and understanding of the practical implications and know-how in delivering change. We work in the most skills-relevant and cost-effective way for you – giving you access to greater resource at higher levels of expertise, which we deliver in a way that best meets your needs – from ‘pure consultancy’ to ‘interim management’ or any hybrid of these.

REWARD

We combine deep technical expertise in all areas of reward with an ability to cut through complexity and keep things simple. Our approach helps our clients to recruit and retain talented people and leads to a positive and engaged workforce by ensuring that reward is fair, affordable and simple to communicate.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

James Burt, CEO, Pharmanovia:

"I found MCR to be exceptionally easy and flexible to deal with. They were able to provide very competent and experienced assistance to Pharmanovia’s HR function at time of need and delivered a number of key projects well - including the implementation of a new organisation structure, change management and M&A support. I’d be more than happy to use their service as needs arise."

David Wightman, Chief HR Officer, EV Metals Group plc:

"We engaged with MCR to deliver a complete compensation and benefits structure, including short and long-term incentive schemes for our newly acquired UK operations. They were very responsive and quickly understood our needs and objectives, our compressed timelines and the constraints of the project. Mobilising a team of high-quality professionals at short notice, they were well-coordinated, engaged well with our in-house team, and delivered a complete solution within agreed deadlines."

Rachel Gillion, HR Director, XPS Pensions Group:

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with MCR, their knowledge, extensive experience and expertise was invaluable throughout the whole project. It was great to have a dedicated team to discuss ideas and to challenge me! I would certainly recommend MCR to anyone considering a reward project.”

Jim Kennedy, SVP People, Shionogi Europe:

“MCR came to us having been highly recommended by a number of my professional HR peers. MCR has now been working with Shionogi Europe for about 3 years in areas including Total Reward, Strategic Workforce Planning and ad hoc HR advice, and in that time have become highly trusted, go-to advisers. Their approach and delivery have been spot-on, and MCR is excellent value for money.”
