Supporting employers in South Wales and surrounding areas

Introducing Peter Grace, your local Regional Business Director, and the Ellis Whittam team, who have been helping businesses across South Wales and nationwide through a multitude of workforce issues and compliance challenges created by the pandemic – from furlough to absenteeism, refusals to work and, sadly, redundancy.

Redundancy is a particularly complex area of employment law, meaning the margin for error is high. How do you turn your plans into a functioning process that doesn’t expose you to future Employment Tribunals?

“All of our senior managers are able to communicate directly with our appointed adviser with the responses are reliable and prompt. Our Account Manager keeps in regular contact with me personally and is proactive in ensuring we are happy. Having used other providers in the past with mixed results, I am happy to recommend WorkNest for their reliability and consistency.”

“We recently received training on two hot topics: having difficult conversations and performance management. Our team really enjoyed it and everyone has said that the trainer was engaging and made the full day training session interesting and relevant. I look forwarding to attending further training.”

“What I like most about WorkNest is that they are collaborative and offer solutions. They help us do the right things, rather than find fault. I really value their support.”

“You always want to be confident in the person that’s giving you advice. WorkNest gives me a lot of comfort as an HR person.”

“We have found our partnership working with WorkNest to be a very positive one. We have benefited from the wealth of experience that WorkNest has in providing constructive health and safety guidance to organisations such as ours. The detailed health and safety inspection of our academies with a written report capturing hazards where actions can be monitored are very useful.”

“WorkNest has been instrumental to our recruitment process. We are an HR team of two, so without their help we would not be able to process all the recruitment efficiently. We need their support for the adverts, interview scheduling, and even queries. WorkNest has provided great support!”
