Proactive ER and manager enablement
Turn your middle managers into your strongest asset.
Most grievances and absence spikes start with a manager who didn’t know what to do. Kinhub equips your managers to handle difficult conversations, capability gaps and early conflict before they reach HR, and measures the improvement with your High-Impact Team Management Quotient (HITMQ).
What is HITMQ?
The High-Impact Team Management Quotient is Kinhub’s measure of management capability across your organisation. It combines manager capability with the outcomes your board cares about: absence and Bradford factor scores, ER cases, attrition and time to productivity. Low HITMQ: more absence, more disputes, more firefighting. High HITMQ: confident managers, stable teams, protected performance. Measured at team and organisation level, never for individuals.
WHY KINHUB?
Low manager capability is costing you more than you think
Managers are often promoted for technical strength rather than people leadership. When they avoid difficult conversations, performance slips. When they handle them badly, small concerns become formal grievances. EAPs step in after problems escalate, and HR software records what’s already happened. Kinhub helps managers in the moment that matters.

"We have a range of age groups across the organisation - one of our goals is to attract more women into the company and offer them a promising career route; Kinhub is positioning us well for that. A key focus is on how we get the best out of people. The Kinhub platform reflects how challenges you have at home can impact how you operate at work, and it provides information, techniques, and experts to alleviate this. We have many individuals with different motivators, and Kinhub’s offering addresses those nuances nicely."

"Many of the team, being logic-driven academics, were slightly sceptical of what coaching could do for them. Many hadn't done anything like coaching before. They're also very time-poor, so there were some questions on the value it might add, given multiple other competing priorities. But almost ten months down the line, the majority of participants have continued seeing the coaches - which shows the clear value that Kinhub is offering. Relationships between SLT members have become stronger. There is a high level of trust across the team and conversations we’re having are more open; I organised an away day recently and we all spoke about the support team we are - the strengths we have, the different dynamics, what’s working and what isn’t."

"Kinhub provides managers with the confidence and toolkit to deal with all the individual situations they face that impact the ability of them and their team to perform well. Without Kinhub, it wouldn't be possible to adequately offer support in all these different instances. Similarly, we used to rely heavily on referring staff struggling with personal issues to an occupational health psychologist. Kinhub has been able to replace this, reducing our occupational health costs by £20,000 in the first four months of use, whilst also offering more holistic support to keep our people on track."
