HR Services
What we do
We work on behalf of your Business to make your HR run as efficiently as possible.
When problems arise, we will take the time to talk them through and offer common sense solutions that work both for your Business and for your people. This is just the human thing to do. No project is too big or small, whether it is help with a one-off piece of work such as employing for the first time, handling a grievance or absence matter through to needing full outsourced HR services, we can support and provide a service to suit your needs.
Our range of HR services include:
A HR Audit
Let us wear the HR hat!
Anything that disturbs the smooth functioning of a Business costs time and resources. The frustration is worse if the disruption was avoidable in the first place. The HR Audit is a completely free service available to any Business.
The audit covers:
- Compliance with existing employment legislation and best practice;
- Guidance on best employment practice; and
- A report on the key actions that might require immediate action.
Our HR Audits are currently being carried out remotely.
To discuss an HR audit for your business, please drop us an email and we will be in touch.
Remember there is no obligation to use our services after the audit.
We simply believe that business owners want to do the right things in their business and this free audit is offered in the spirit of that belief.
Review of Personnel Files
We will audit all existing employee files to ensure that everything is up to date and in accordance with GDPR/ Immigration/Compliance legislation. By doing this you can identify any changes that need to be made and prevent any potential issues. This will also give you the confidence to know that you have all the necessary information stored correctly for all employees.

Employee Relations
Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures
Managing disciplinary procedures and grievances is challenging, especially for Businesses with small teams where everyone tends to know each other very well. The management of these cases is time consuming, and can become mentally and emotionally draining.
To ensure that you follow fair and transparent processes, we will provide advice and guidance for you to follow, or alternatively we can assist you with any part of the process you wish us to manage and handle on your behalf.
Restructures and Redundancies
When dealing with restructures and redundancies and exiting employees from your business it is important to ensure the correct processes are followed to keep levels of risk low. We can advise you on, or fully deliver these projects for you to give you peace of mind that you meet with the requirements of the law and best practice.

Benefits
Employee benefits are extra incentives, in addition to normal salary. They are designed to help promote employee satisfaction and wellbeing, and could include anything from private medical insurance, dental care plans, flexible working hours and family-leave support programmes. Although some benefits are legally required (core benefits), others are offered as added perks that are used to attract and retain employees. Having the right benefits in place can be instrumental in motivating and retaining employees.
We will analyse what you offer currently and its effectiveness and recognise what could be improved and help you to design a package that really works — for future and current employees.
