Employers HR Consultancy
It can be a time consuming and daunting experience for an employer dealing with disputes in the workplace. This is why we are able to provide support tailored to the needs of the business particularly those with limited resources.
Many employers do not have a designated in-house human resources function, either because problems which arise are infrequent or the business cannot justify the cost. We recognise that from time to time, employers need support and guidance to navigate their way through problematic workplace situations.
A lot of problems can be avoided where action is taken early, however, not understanding what to do can cause delays, make the problem worse and damage employment relations.
We find that the most common areas of support required by an employer are as follows:
- outdated or poorly drafted contracts of employment (or no contract at all)
- no policies or procedures
- reviewing contracts of employment or policies and procedures
- how to conduct a disciplinary process
- how to address a grievance
- management of absence
- defending a claim at an employment tribunal
- preparing a Settlement Agreement
We are also able to provide training which is practical, relevant to the business and based on our own experience of dealing with problems in the workplace, for example, how to identify problems at an early stage and what to do.
