• Please select Insert -> Table -> 2x1 Table.
• Set the first column width to 150 pixels

• Please locate you cursor in the first column and add "People Refinement Panel" web part by going "Editing Tools" -> "Insert" -> "Web Part" -> "People Refinement Panel".

• Now you can save and close the page. At this stage the results page will show nothing which is normal. However if you do a people search you will get following result:
