Passionate about assisting SMEs to navigate through the confusion of employment legislation, rules and regulations and finding solutions to enable them to achieve their business goals, whilst also enabling their staff to be happier and better motivated. We believe that by providing employers with support, information and guidance on people issues they can contribute to a company’s continued success and prevent time and resources being wasted wrestling with complex employment issues.
With over 20 years HR experience in a range of business sectors from small, medium sized Professional Services firms through to blue chip FTSE 100 Defence & Engineering organisations, Deborah (Director) has worked at a senior level gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience in employment law, employee relations, change management, organisational design, acquisitions and mergers (including TUPE), HR policy and Recruitment. What The HR Dept does is offer a very personalised service, so you feel as though you are contacting “your own” HR department whenever you have an issue you are not sure how to deal with. By working closely with you, we develop an understanding of your business and can support you by offering a personal, flexible and cost effective service that meets your needs. Your advice and support is provided locally so you are not talking to a stranger in a call centre. Provided you follow our advice from the onset of any issue, our telephone advice service is backed by tribunal indemnity insurance which saves you money on expensive legal advice.
Our national network of HR professionals widens our pool of expertise and ensures that we can support you on longer-term strategic projects as required. Our aim is to free you from the worry of legal compliance, help you to get the most from your staff and leave you with more time to focus on your core business. Contact Deborah to arrange a free consultation on the support that The HR Dept can offer your business.
