HR advice and documentation

It can be difficult for employers to keep on top of legislation changes. We will help you make sure your policies and processes stay compliant.

Supporting a range of clients, including start-up businesses and international clients entering the UK, we provide HR guidance for everyday operational people matters. We can help you update your employment policies to align with legal changes, delivering customised documentation that adheres to employment law and best practice while flexing to your company culture.

HR projects

Having an effective people strategy will help achieve your wider organisational goals. We undertake a range of operational and strategic projects where there is a shortage of capacity or expertise in-house. These include HR audits and function effectiveness reviews, devising people plans, reviewing reward and remuneration processes, performance management and succession planning. Our project work is bespoke and tailored to your needs.

HR investigations

Employee relations cases can be complex and time-consuming. As an impartial third party, we can conduct complex workplace investigations to establish the facts without bias. Our experienced team will create a concise report to support fair decision-making. We know that investigations can disrupt busy schedules, so we can prioritise these cases to help you meet your legal obligations and resolve issues quickly.

Pay gap reporting

Pay gap reporting promotes workplace equality and transparency and is a legal requirement for many organisations. By creating and implementing an action plan, you can tackle the root causes of pay disparities, set measurable goals and create a more equitable environment.

We can help you stay compliant by producing gender pay gap calculations and narratives for your report. And if you want to analyse other pay gaps, we can produce reports relating to ethnicity, disability status and more. 

 

Upskilling leaders

Line managers and other leaders play an important role in driving performance across your business. To give your managers leadership skills and knowledge of best practice, we provide people management training covering the entire employee lifecycle, from onboarding to exit management.

Managers will learn to navigate daily people management decisions. By the end of their training, they will better understand compliance and legislation while feeling better equipped to handle a broad range of people scenarios.

Business change

We can support you with organisational changes or workforce restructuring activities, including redundancy, and changes because of Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations 2006 (TUPE).

We also support with the people side of business transactions and can offer buy-side HR due diligence, and readiness reviews for businesses considering a sale. Our services extend to post-acquisition harmonisation and consultations, ensuring your organisation navigates these transitions effectively.
