HR Support for Employers
Pragmatic Support for Business
We help businesses to comply with employment law and to manage their employees in a professional, modern and pragmatic way.
No two businesses are identical and the support we can offer will be personalised to you and your business. We can help you with all your HR needs at whatever stage you are at.
Our Services for You
We can work with you to create a personalised service depending on what you need but typically we offer:
Contracts of employment and terms of employment
We can write a contract from scratch for you or review what you have already. We can give advice and a plan of who to change the terms and conditions of your employees.
Handbook and policies
Every business is obliged to have a disciplinary policy, a grievance policy and a health and safety policy (depending on its size). We can write and personalise yours as well as offering you a package of other best practice policies or you can buy policies as you go.
Recruitment support
We can put together job descriptions, adverts, screen applications for you, offer support at interview and devise question packs for you.
Investigations and disciplinary hearings
We can support your managers when they are running investigations and disciplinary hearings or we can run an entire investigation or hearing for you which is often valuable to businesses where independence and integrity is of the highest importance.
Redundancy support
When you are contemplating making redundancies we can help to project manage or to provide support to your own teams so that your process runs smoothly, quickly and complies with your obligations.
Dismissals
Before you make a dismissal you might want independent HR support and advice about the actions you have taken and the steps you are about to make so that you maintain a fair process and reduce your risk of an Employment Tribunal claim
Trade Unions / Industrial Relations
We can support with anything from building an industrial relations strategy or helping to mediation disputes through facilitating an agreed solution.
Negotiation before/after dismissal
Sometimes it might be pragmatic to negotiate a settlement with your employee either pre or post dismissal (to avoid an employment tribunal claim). We can help you to define this strategy and then execute it for you.
Mediation
Mediation in the workplace can help your employees to talk to an independent person about their grievances with others. We will help people to come to an agreement about how to work together and provide support to each party to do so.
When an employment relationship has totally broken down, we can support you and your employer through a facilitated mediation to form a settlement agreement which will protect you from litigation from your employee.
