HR support when you need it

Many businesses grow to a good size, perhaps 20 or more employees, before they see the need for HR support.  As staff quality is a vital ingredient in the delivery of your successful product or service, any of the following problems will impact in your companies output.

• Increasing absence
• Increasing sickness
• Reducing performance
• Staff spending longer on emails, socialising etc.

These problems can quickly spread through an organisation.  We help provide effective solutions should you have to be reactive to any issues, and restore balance and to your companies personal management style.

Redundancy

With many organisations under serious financial pressure at the moment,  redundancies seem an inevitable solution.  There is a need to comply with the law when making redundancies and this includes having meaningful consultation with the people you employ.

There are several positive alternatives to simply making people redundant.

Consideration should be given to:

• Wage cuts so that redundancies can be avoided.
• Flexible working, lay offs and short time working, annualised hours or other changes to terms and conditions.
