The specialist practical HR services we offer in more detail
Employment contracts and policies
Your ability to effectively manage people starts with the employment contract and HR policies. We will advise you on the best type of contract to suit your need and draft contracts that offers your organisation the most protection and flexibility. We ensure your HR policies are compliant and fit for your organisation.
Employee conduct and performance
Effective conduct and performance management is crucial in driving organisational success. We guide you through the complexities of managing employee conduct and performance by providing a practical and commercial approach to the processes. Our experience covers a wide range of sectors and issues, enabling us to offer a successful and sustainable solution.
Absence management
All types of absence can disrupt your operations. We assist by providing clear steps and tools to facilitate a successful return to work, or simply improve attendance. We partner with an occupational health provider and in cases where a return to work is not possible, we support and guide you to bring employment to an end.
Employee meetings support
Whether it’s a disciplinary, grievance, redundancy consultation, appeal or an informal meeting, we can attend any type of employee meeting to either lead or support. We can attend in person or remotely and give you access to the HR support that is required for your situation.
Employee conflict resolution / mediation
Conflict at work is inevitable and time consuming. We guide you through any grievances or employee complaints to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. We also offer trained mediators to facilitate agreement between employees in conflict.
Redundancy / restructure / outplacement support
Managing redundancies can be a complex and sensitive process. We help you navigate this process, providing support in both legal and ethical aspects. We assist in drafting necessary documentation, advising on the right procedures, and supporting you through every step. We also offer outplacement support, helping employees facing redundancy secure new roles.
Disciplinary / grievance investigations
The key to any effective disciplinary or grievance outcome is the quality of the investigation into the facts of the case. In some cases, this will be a quick and simple process. In others, it can involve lots of time and resource. We are experienced in leading investigations into grievances and misconduct and will deliver an unbiased investigation report, making the disciplinary or grievance process much simpler and less risky.
