HR Made Simple for Small Businesses | what you need to know
Running a business is demanding enough without HR problems slowing you down.
When HR isn’t handled properly, the risks add up quickly: costly mistakes, inconsistent decisions, stressed managers, rising people costs, and increased exposure to Employment Tribunal claims. All while you’re expected to keep up with changing employment law and grow the business.
This free 60-minute webinar from WorkNest’s Employment Law and HR experts will show you how to take control of HR without big budgets, complicated processes, or in-house teams.
You’ll leave with practical, easy-to-apply steps to reduce risk, save time, and build a stronger workplace.
11 February, 2.00 pm - 3.00 pm
People problems rarely arrive at a convenient time. When HR issues aren’t handled consistently or confidently, they can quickly turn into costly mistakes, rising costs, high staff turnover, and unnecessary disruption.
Many small businesses lack the time, expertise, or support to keep up with employment law changes, support inexperienced managers, or respond confidently when issues arise.
Without clear processes, this increases the risk of poor decisions, Employment Tribunal claims, and missed opportunities to attract and retain good people.
This session will help you understand what good HR looks like in practice for small businesses. We’ll focus on simple, affordable ways to reduce risk, support managers, improve culture and put control back in your hands.
What you’ll learn:
- The biggest HR headaches costing small businesses time, money, and good people
- How to reduce the risk of expensive Employment Tribunals, without in-house HR
- How to quickly and effectively upskill and support inexperienced managers
- Simple tech and tools that cut admin and save time
- Practical ways to attract and retain talent
- Realistic approaches to improving culture and wellbeing on a tight budget
- When outsourcing HR support makes more sense than struggling alone
- Why getting HR right really matters to your business
People problems don’t fix themselves. Let WorkNest show you a faster, safer, and smarter way to manage your people.
Who should attend?
This session is ideal for:
- SME business owners and directors
- Operations leaders
- Anyone who feels HR is taking up too much time and headspace
