Human Resources

We’ll help you improve employee engagement, develop your teams and individuals and ultimately, increase productivity.

Documentation Compliance

We believe that your company’s most valuable asset is your people. Managers who help create a supportive and encouraging work environment are able to get the most from their staff members — and retain them.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

We can help you create clearly written contracts that avoid ambiguity and layout your organisation’s expectations of each employee. This helps your staff understand their rights and responsibilities. With our guidance on how to populate contracts, it also protects you by minimising the risk of dispute.

EMPLOYMENT HANDBOOK

Staff handbooks provide employees with a clear insight into your organization’s culture. They define your policies and procedures and are an essential document for inducting new employees. Written well, they reinforce your company and clarify your expectations. Our HR consultants can help you compile an engaging handbook that is relevant to your organisation and your workforce.

HR POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Employers are legally obliged to provide their workforce with an employment contract and a staff handbook outlining their organisation’s policies and procedures. Policies are a legal requirement that provide you with a framework to manage your staff consistently and fairly. Our team will help you create policies that are relevant to your organisation and which promote good practice.

HR AUDIT

What is an HR Audit?

It is a process that we carry out that enables you to understand how in line Human Resources are with your overall Business Objectives. Only 55 % of recent Business Leaders surveyed believe that their day to day HR is in line with their overall Business Strategy.

We can arrange to meet with you to discuss and review areas including:

Compliance – HR practices, policies and procedures
Workforce Assessment – skills, competence now and for the future. Planning
Recruitment Processes- attracting , developing and retaining the best candidates.
Reward and recognition – benchmarking
Training and development – Effective day to day management
Employee engagement – involvement, feedback at all levels

From the data gathered not only will we identify what areas are fit for purpose within your organisation and what areas are in need of attention but we will advise how to address these areas effectively.
