Upskilling managers

Most managers aren’t Employment Law and HR experts, and even the best-run organisations will inevitably encounter employee issues from time to time.

As well as taking time away from value-driving activities, dealing with people problems requires a firm grasp of HR best practice and a working understand of complex Employment Law. If you’re not fully confident, leaning on trusted professionals can make all the difference.

I need a course that covers HR essentials. What would you recommend?

Utilising breakout rooms, chat windows and polls, our interactive Manager Essentials training course provides a general overview of key people management issues, including Employment Law issues, that may arise in the life of an employment relationship and explains how to deal with them.

Will you support managers, or just HR teams and business owners?

Typically, for smaller employers, we support managers, directors and owners, essentially becoming a high-quality outsourced HR function. For large employers, we provide specialist support to their in-house HR Team

Can you help managers to produce documents?

Yes. We can support you with a full spectrum of documentation, from first written warnings to new contractual clauses, to a policy you might not have in your handbook, plus more complex legal documents like settlement agreements and redundancy outcome letters.

Can you provide MR reports for managers?

Yes. For those with larger case volumes, we can produce monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual MR reports to show you the sorts of matters that you’re requiring support with most often and total usage/activities by site, department or manager. This will enable you to identify trends and problem hotspots and take the necessary action.

What if we need support on site?

If you require more hands-on support, we offer a range of proactive and reactive HR Consultancy services, including assigning HR specialists to conduct investigations, mediation and consultation meetings, to help you manage these processes with minimal management pressure.
