We operate 3 ways of working with clients:

The majority of our customers opt for HR support on a retainer basis. It offers the greatest flexibility and value with unlimited and on-going support within a fixed monthly cost, with access to a HR service that is always accessible, speaking with the experienced people who have visited your business and understand your issues.

 

The demands of your organisation will ebb and flow, making it often impractical to have a full time HR Manager. This service offers the flexibility that you need without the commitment of expensive and permanent staff to carry this out.

 

With all clients who opt for the retainer service we will always visit your business to understand your needs and working environment. This means that we are better placed to offer the service that you would expect. In particular, we look at your current HR procedures and methodology, allowing a strategy to be formulated to set up an up to date working practice. For some clients this means a complete overhaul of procedures, documentation, dealing with immediate staff issues, ways of working etc., for others it may be a question of ‘tweaking’ the existing framework.

 

The overview needs to be kept up to date and we regularly review employment contracts, employee handbooks and recruitment systems. Your needs and legislation can change-it is important that we plan ahead and change accordingly.

 

There is more to HR than documentation and recruitment. Just as you would expect to have a strategy for other aspects of your organisation, so should organisational staff planning be a vital task.
Training, planning, recruitment, disciplinaries, sickness and absence, TUPE, there are so many issues that need to be addressed, ensuring a smooth and progressive future. We offer you the experience and knowledge to attend to these requirements.

 

For many small businesses with a few employees, it may be that you simply need a single issue resolving such as how best to deal with continued absence, a contract of employment for an individual employee, a training programme or other similar scenario. This allows you to budget for the ‘one off’ situation with expert help.

 

There are times when there may be a complete departure from your normal operations. A merger, a business expansion or contraction, all require thorough and complete HR planning which follows current legal requirements and is in line with your strategic goals. We have worked on projects for organisations both within the private and public sectors where recruitment, redundancies,  relocation etc. have required in depth analysis and actions to follow. Our knowledgeable team can project manage this to board level reporting level so that you can be assured of a top level strategic planning service from us.
