HR advice and documentation

It can be difficult for employers to keep on top of legislation changes and ensure they remain compliant in their policies and processes.

We provide HR guidance for everyday operational people matters, assisting both established UK businesses and international clients entering the UK. We can help you update your employment policies in response to legal changes, delivering customised documentation that adheres to employment law, best practice and your culture to meet your business requirements.

Strategic 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 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. We can conduct complex workplace investigations as an impartial third party to establish the facts without bias, including into grievances and disciplinaries. Our experienced team delivers concise reports to support fair decision-making. Recognising that investigations can disrupt busy HR schedules, we can prioritise these cases to help you meet your legal obligations and resolve issues without delay.

Pay gap reporting

Pay gap reporting is essential for promoting workplace equality and transparency and is a legal requirement for many organisations. By creating and implementing an action plan, employers 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 further, for pay gaps relating to ethnicity, disability status, and more. 

People management training

Having effective line managers is key to performance management and retaining staff. We provide people management training for line managers covering the entire employee lifecycle, from onboarding to exit management.

Through practical knowledge-sharing sessions, managers will learn to navigate daily people management decisions. By the end of their training, they will better understand compliance and legislation while enhancing their skills in handling diverse scenarios.

Business change

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

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