Top 10 Reasons to Ask Us
Business owners and line managers are busy people. It’s not always feasible for you to be employment experts too. But, that’s what HR is for; the art is knowing when you should ask for help.
Here’s our top 10 reasons to seek advice. You can call, email, tweet or use our brand new Ask Us feature on our website:
- Restructuring – ensure the procedural aspects to work changes are covered and staff are effectively consulted
- ‘She put what on Twitter?!‘ – where do personal and work boundaries cross?
- ‘He’s got to go!‘ – you may need to take certain steps to ensure there is minimal risk of a Tribunal claim
- A flexible working request arrives – there’s a balance of accommodating employees with the overall business needs (and a process to go through too)
- An employee requests training – will the business see a ROI – not just in terms of subject matter but in employee engagement?
- An employee threatens to leave – the implications of letting them go versus trying to retain them, and longer term succession planning
- An employee says they are stressed. If ignored or handled incorrectly, this could spiral to a Tribunal claim
- Employees are leaving – this could indicate underlying factors and it may be time for some introspection
- Buying another business – TUPE regulations can be a minefield
- Taking on new staff – are your managers adequately trained to avoid potential discrimination claims?
In short, disciplinaries, grievances, redundancies, TUPE, recruitment, retention, employee engagement, policies, contracts, training, tribunals. This is what we do. We know our stuff. Ask us!
