Our outsourced HR services will help you find the best route through many of the complexities that businesses face when managing their staff. These include:

Contracts of Employment

The Contract of Employment forms the backbone of the employment relationship. 

Not only is it a legal requirement for employers to provide a written statement of the terms & conditions of employment, but by doing so, you will avoid ambiguity which may lead to potential disputes.

HR outsourcing companies deliver employment contracts that protect your business by ensuring all parties understand exactly what they are agreeing to. We help you understand the intricacies of HR and employment law so you can keep your team and business safe.

Managing Employee Absence

All SME’s experience staff absences from time to time. It is essential to manage absence in an appropriate way that is fair to the company and its employees. Absence from work can usually fit into either of the following categories – planned and authorised absence (such as holidays etc) or unplanned/unexpected. 

Unplanned absences can cause major disruptions in the workplace. The employer is unaware of the absence just before it happens, making it difficult to find cover arrangements. As a business owner, it’s common to feel powerless over how to deal with unexpected absences and the impact they have on your work. Our small business HR outsourcing services can help and guide you through these situations with the appropriate HR solutions.

Handbooks

A job description is not only a vital document used during recruitment processes but also a management tool to refer to throughout an individual’s employment. 

A meaningful job description should; outline your expectations of people in their roles, explain their purpose in the wider business, encourage collaboration between departments, and inspire career development.

Our HR processes can help your employees focus on what they need to achieve to support the company in reaching its collective goals and objectives.

Redundancy can be one of the toughest situations faced by both the company and its employees. Often, this is not an easy decision to make but a necessary one for the ongoing viability of the business.

Managing Employee Performance

A company’s success is largely dependent on how well every employee performs. To obtain the best performance from your employees, you need to understand how to effectively manage this resource. 

We can provide step-by-step support, which helps carry this out successfully to ensure everybody in your business is working effectively and efficiently towards the common goal.

Strategic HR

HR companies do more than administration and support functions. They also have a business function that adds value by helping you to achieve your desired aims and objectives. 

Strategic human resource management provides a competitive advantage by integrating and aligning your most valuable asset – your people – with the strategic direction of the small business. 

Whether you require this element as part of our HR functions, or just a tailored project to meet our needs, our team are on hand to help and has a wealth of experience in this area.

Disciplinary & Grievances

Handling grievances and managing disciplinaries are two of the biggest workplace worries for employers. It can be time-consuming, disruptive and have a negative effect on other employees. If they are not carried out correctly and effectively, they can result in an employment tribunal. 

Our HR support can provide hands-on, level-headed support that will help protect your business.
