Trusted HR advice for employers
Whether you’re facing a crisis or just need clarification on the best course of action, even the most knowledgeable employers will require expert HR advice from time to time.
The truth is, while HR matters come with the territory when you run a business or manage an organisation, most employers aren’t experts in employment law, and having to manage issues quickly and compliantly can leave you feeling out of your depth.
We specialise in providing high-quality, commercially-minded HR and Employment Law advice to UK employers.Our team of legally-qualified, dedicated advisers work closely with organisations of all shapes and sizes, helping to unpack even the most complex of employment challenges and find solutions that are preferable to you. Whether you’re in need of professional guidance through a particularly difficult or sensitive situation or would just like the reassurance of a second opinion, we can provide valuable direction and help you to avoid legal pitfalls that may leave you exposed to costly Employment Tribunal claims.

While you might be tempted to follow your instincts or trust the HR advice you find online, employment law is vast and constantly changing, and it can be frustratingly easy to get it wrong.
With it easier than ever for disgruntled employees from bringing a claim against you following the Supreme Court’s decision to abolish Employment Tribunal fees, it’s never wise to risk it. of Our HR and Employment Law Advisers are well versed in a full spectrum of employee relations challenges and can offer clear, best-practice advice based on your specific situation.
We’ll alert you to any aspects of employment law that you need to be aware of and guide you through the process to your preferred outcome.
24/7 HR advice for any employment situation
We recognise the diverse challenges faced by organisations across all industries. Whether you need assistance with employee relations, performance management, recruitment, or diversity initiatives, WorkNest is here to provide professional HR and Employment Law support. Our fixed-fee service ensures transparent pricing, offering convenient access to HR help and online resources whenever you need them most. Our team of HR experts is readily available via phone or email, ensuring you can manage HR matters with confidence.
In the worst case scenario, missteps can lead to an Employment Tribunal claim. Unfortunately for employers, now that Tribunal fees have been scrapped, there’s nothing to stop litigious employees pursuing legal action. With the average award for unfair dismissal sitting at almost £14,000 and discrimination claims costing closer to £30,000, the cost of going it alone can be significant. Of course, as well as the impact on your bottom line, there’s also reputational damage to consider.
But it’s not all about legal risk. Employee relations issues can impede productivity, affect morale, and contribute to a high turnover. They put a strain on management, destabilise your workforce, and ultimately affect your ability to deliver on key objectives. If you’re not an Employment Law expert, the time and stress involved in dealing with your people problems can become a considerable burden — one that will only increase as your organisation grows.
Good legal advice, on the other hand, helps employers avoid these pitfalls. It enables them to handle risks effectively, streamline their operations, and make informed decisions. This not only ensures compliance with the law but also contributes to a healthier work environment and a stronger, more resilient business.
