How The HR Dept can help your business
Do you always know how to handle HR or employment law issues if they come up?
Many SMEs are not large enough to warrant the costs of employing a full time HR presence, but at some point everyone needs a helping hand so business owners and managers can get on with the day to day running of their business. Every member of your team is important in contributing to the success of your business and it is essential that you have policies and procedures in place to manage them well, to ensure that both they and your company are successful.
The HR Dept provides professional HR expertise and support at a cost that makes sense for SMEs. The HR Dept becomes your company’s HR Department.
The HR Dept is special in a number of ways. It is delivered to your company –
- by qualified HR professionals;
- by a dedicated team who are local to you and who get to know your company;
- in a flexible way that meets the needs of your business;
- using practical and pragmatic approaches, focussed on solutions and supporting the progress of your company’s business.
Whether it is poor performing employees, handling disciplinary and grievances, a redundancy or restructure, The HR Dept can do everything that you would expect from an in-house HR Department, but at the fraction of the cost. For a full list of our services, please click here
