For Managers

Are you legally compliant?

From an audit of your employment contract and handbook, to writing new policies, we will ensure you are up to date with the latest legislation and are legally compliant. We always ensure the style of writing fits your culture and is free of legalistic jargon.

Your on-call HR Professional

We offer a range of HR retainers to suit your needs and budget.

I have a particular issue with an employee

As well-meaning as you try to be, we recognise that sometimes things get out of hand with an employee and you are not sure what you can and should do next. We provide pragmatic moral and legal HR support and advice to help you manage issues relating to employees.

The Company has grown and we need some processes to manage people

Companies get to a certain size and realise they need a more structured approach in employing people. From record keeping, inductions, performance management, and appraisals, through to a structured approach to pay and reward, we help you retain control.

I need help with recruitment

Recruitment, especially in Cumbria, is harder than you think, is time-consuming, and is expensive if you get it wrong. We will audit, advise or be hands-on delivering any aspect of your recruitment such as advertising and attracting people to your organisation.

Please help us get these redundancies right

Making people redundant is never easy. We can manage a redundancy programme to ensure you get it right both legally and morally. For the sake of your company reputation, we want to help you do the right thing.
