HR support that protects your business
If you employ at least one person, HR is a vital part of your business. Staying compliant with current legislation isn't just about paperwork; it's about protecting yourself from costly mistakes and ensuring your team feels supported. Whether you are hiring your first employee or managing a growing team, I provide the professional guidance you need to get it right from the start.
Managing a team is rewarding, but the administrative and legal side of HR can quickly become overwhelming. I work with business owners across Hampshire to navigate the complexities of employment law, ensuring you remain protected while building a positive workplace culture.
If you are facing any of the following hurdles, I can provide the professional support you need.
-
Ensuring every employee has a clear, legally sound contract of employment from day one. I help you get the basics right, from verifying right-to-work documentation to ensuring you are paying the correct rates for younger staff members.
-
Handling long-term sickness or recurring absences can be difficult for small teams. I provide the frameworks and advice needed to manage these situations fairly, including expert guidance on maternity, paternity, and adoption leave entitlements.
-
Whether you are dealing with a dip in productivity or a formal disciplinary matter, having a clear process is vital. I help you manage poor performance professionally and provide the necessary documentation if you need to move toward a formal dismissal.
-
The modern workplace thrives on flexibility, but it must work for the business too. I help you manage flexible working requests fairly and legally, ensuring your policies support employee retention without compromising your operations.
Do I need HR Policies?
There is no one size fits all approach when implementing HR policies in your organisation, they need to be based on your unique needs and characteristics which I can support you with.
Below is a list of some of the policies you may need within your organisation. I have highlighted whether it is important you have them as a small business and where it's not a necessity. As you grow there are Policies and Procedures that might be more relevant for you now you are a larger business.
