| Employers: | How we can help: |
|---|---|
| Becoming a new employer | Auditing and advice to get off on the right foot and stay compliant |
| Contracts of employment | We can review existing contracts of employment or supply state-of-the-art new documentation. |
| Data Protection issues | We can help with Data Protection breaches at work and keep you on track with your obligations. |
| Discipline & Grievance procedures and, including Dismissal | We can sensibly and sensitively guide you through the entire Disciplinary or Grievance process, assisting at all the relevant stages. Your disciplinary procedures should follow the ACAS code of practice. Even so, when disciplinary or grievance issues arise, it can be a huge distraction for employers and a drain on resources. We can offer you support when you need it – either onsite or at any of our offices. We can lead on the entire disciplinary or grievance process or assist at key points, i.e.:
|
| Exit discussions | We can help plan and support exit discussions. |
| Flexible Working / Hybrid working | With rising Flexible Working requests and the increase of hybrid working due to the pandemic, we can help you navigate processes and stay on track. |
| HR Policies (Documents & systems) | Help with preparation, supply and implementation of HR policies and procedures. |
| Investigations | We can help with internal investigations, to save you time and to help keep matters on track. |
| Organisational restructures | We can help you plan, communicate and implement changes to your structure so that disruption is as limited as possible. |

We ensure the structure and processes you set up early will help you save precious time moving forward and we will be there to help steer you through any HR issues you may encounter as your new business develops. |
