Services for your business

Human Resources

As a business manager you need the freedom to focus on running your business and maximising its performance without worrying about risks that may be associated with human resources issues.

We provide human resources advice to small and medium sized businesses which do not need a full time Human Resources manager.
Audit and Risk Assessment
This entails carrying out an audit into the current HR policies and procedures in your business, assessing the risk and advising on areas of concern.
The maximum level of award in a discrimination case is uncapped and in unfair dismissal cases the cap can be over £70,000. It is therefore very important that you get your procedures right.

HR Administration
Your business should have Contracts, Statements of Main Terms and Conditions, policies and procedures, and employee handbooks issued and available to staff.
We can review all these key HR documents and ensure that they are in place and up to date.

Employee Issues
There is a considerable amount of legislation that governs how employee issues must be handled in the workplace.
Handling ill health, discrimination, performance issues, grievance and disciplinary matters in accordance with the law and best practice can be very difficult.
We can provide guidance and advice on how to find your way around these complex situations.

People Management
All businesses benefit from having standardised systems in place that ensures consistent and fair people management. These systems help ensure that you have a high performing team and that your business is maximising its potential.
Some examples of these systems are:
Absence management
Performance management
Well managed induction procedures
Succession plans and career progression
Rewards and methods of delivering high motivation

Recruitment and Selection
Recruitment and selection can be a daunting procedure for any small to medium sized business.
We can provide you with advice and assist you through the recruitment and selection procedure.
In particular we can provide interviewing and scoring techniques and assist in the conducting of interviews.

Website Creation

In the very competitive and difficult economic environment in which small businesses and organisations find themselves, a visually appealing and clearly focused website can help to give you a competitive advantage.
Why?
Many businesses have a web address, but no website, or a simple usually unappealing holding site.
People, rightly or wrongly, make judgments about businesses based on their website, its attractiveness, ease of use or whether the business has one or not.
If you hand out your business card, one of the first things that the recipient does is check out your website.
If you advertise for new staff, the potential applicants will more than likely look at your website for information and to get an idea of the organisation.

Development of the Site
We will scope your requirements and develop a small to medium sized site that will give your business an attractive presence on the net.
We can help you to bring your business and services to a wider public and give you a head start on your competitors who have a web address, but no website!

Domain Name
You can either search out and acquire your own domain name, or if you require we can do that for you.

Hosting
Again you can arrange hosting yourself, or maybe you already have hosting in which case we will upload the site to your host.
If you need hosting, we can arrange that for you
