HR Made Simple for Small Businesses | what every owner needs to know
Running a business is demanding enough.
HR challenges shouldn’t make it harder.
If you’re a UK business owner juggling recruitment issues, compliance worries, and managers who are learning on the job, this session is designed for you.
11 February, 2.00 pm - 3.00 pm
Hosted by: Lyndsay Gourlay – Senior Employment Law Adviser and Sita Anand – HR Consultant.
Most small businesses don’t have the luxury of a full HR department – and owners simply don’t have the time to deal with everything themselves.
That often means you end up firefighting:
- Constant recruitment and rising costs
- Confusing and frequent employment law changes
- Managers making avoidable and costly mistakes
- Productivity issues and performance dips
- Culture and wellbeing concerns
- Persistent performance issues that never quite get resolved
All of this takes time, focus and energy away from actually growing your business.
This webinar will explain why these problems keep coming back – and how WorkNest can help you get ahead of them once and for all.
What you’ll takeaway in 45 minutes
You’ll learn:
- The biggest HR headaches costing SMEs time, money, and good staff
- How to reduce the risk of expensive Employment Tribunals without in-house HR
- How to upskill and support inexperienced managers quickly and effectively
- Simple tech and tools that cut admin and free up valuable time
- What small businesses can do to attract and retain talent
- Practical ways to improve culture and wellbeing without huge budgets
- When outsourcing HR support makes more sense than struggling on alone
Why this matters to your business
Every hour spent dealing with HR issues is an hour not spent on sales, service, innovation, or strategy.
WorkNest helps businesses to:
- Stay compliant without worry and avoid unnecessary risk
- Build confident, capable managers
- Improve retention and reduce recruitment costs
- Create a more motivated and productive workforce
- Replace admin chaos with simple, efficient systems
We take the HR strain so you can focus on scaling your business – not firefighting people problems.
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
Places are limited so we can keep the session interactive.
Don’t miss out – your people challenges won’t fix themselves.
