A complete range of services can be offered from one off projects to development of, or a complete review of existing personnel systems and procedures. Services include:

Employment Policies
Clear and consistent employment policies can make a major contribution to the effectiveness of an organisation and determine the relationship with employees. Every business needs to consider its approach to such issues as redundancy, parental leave, time off for domestic incidents, maternity leave, holiday to mention just a few and ensure fairness and equal treatment across the workforce.

Employment Handbook
An employment handbook can be used in a number of ways by any organisation and its employees: as a source of reference; to fulfil statutory requirements; as a means of communication and as an aid to induction training.

Contracts of Employment
The Employment Rights Act 1996 requires employers to provide most employees, within two months of starting work, with a written statement of the main terms of the contract and specifies the details that must be included. Do your contracts comply with the law?

Recruitment & Selection
Recruiting people who are wrong for the organisation can lead to increased labour turnover, increased costs and lowering of morale amongst the existing workforce. Make sure your procedures are right and comply with legal requirements.

Induction Procedures
A good induction programme makes business sense, whatever the size of the organisation and whatever the job. It will ensure that new employees settle into their role quickly, efficiently and safely and provides a written checklist that appropriate training has been given.

Performance Appraisal and Job Descriptions
Performance monitoring and standard setting is an important function for any business that employs staff. An appraisal scheme offers benefits to both employers and employees and can make a significant contribution to human resource planning. Ensure your employees know what is expected of them and give them the opportunity to express their ideas and expectations of the job.

Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things do go wrong. It is important, therefore, to have in place a process that ensures problems are managed and dealt with fairly, consistently and effectively across the organisation.

Absence Monitoring and Labour Turnover
High levels of absence and labour turnover can present serious and costly problems for both large and small organisations. Establishing the cause and working out a solution may call for a thorough examination of the organisation's policies and working practices.
