Growing your business with employees.
Growing your business with employees is a fantastic way to scale up your business. There are potential pitfalls though and these need to be avoided to ensure costly mistakes are avoided.
In the video clip below Tanya speaks to Andrew Beaumont from AJB HR Consultancy Ltd about all things HR advice.
The specifics – what do we talk about?
We talk about some of the dangers employers face when growing your business with employees, including taking on staff and what documentation needs to be in place. We talk about probation periods and what needs to be in your contracts of employment. Also disciplinary and grievance procedures.
Having covered the start of the process we also talk about the other end of the process, if you need to lose an employee. It can be a very costly business if you get it wrong with potential unfair dismissal claims against you. Getting accurate HR advice can be key to avoiding that. We need employees to grow so we need to work out the best way to do this and avoid as many costly mistakes as we can.
We talk about what you can expect from working with a bespoke HR Consultancy as opposed to one of the big boys in the HR advice world.
Also, linked to that the benefit of bespoke documentation and how that can help to continue your Company culture message and ensure your values are visible across the board.
We talk working from home and supporting your employees when they are doing the same. Because mental health in the workplace is such a big topic on its own, whilst we touch on it in this video we will be doing a further video talking more around this topic.
