Our HR consulting services

Our employee relations consultants provide a full range of HR support and legal services, including:

• Employee relations casework
• Investigations and hearings
• Workplace Mediation
• Employee engagement and culture change projects
• Coaching and Mentoring for HR Managers
• Leadership Development and Training for Line Managers

Employee relations casework

Our HR management services include a wide range of employee relations casework, such as dealing with disciplinary procedures and grievance processes. It is essential to follow the correct procedure when handling employee issues in order to avoid allegations of breach of the employment contract or wrongful dismissal. Whether you are initiating, managing or resolving issues relating to employee conduct or workplace grievances, our dedicated support will ensure a thorough and practical approach.

Investigations and hearings

As part of our HR support offering, we provide specialist investigative services and take on the management of hearings to ensure that any decision reached is independent and unbiased. This adds credibility to the process and increases trust in the fairness of the outcome.

Whether serving as an impartial decision-maker or supporting you in making a judgment, we ensure a professional process with an informed and fair outcome.

Workplace mediation

If a relationship with an employee has become difficult and a formal grievance has been raised or you are considering disciplinary action, workplace mediation can prevent the situation from escalating.

We can work with you to identify the issues and provide mediation to reach a solution that will avoid legal proceedings. Our qualified mediators guide employers and employees through the mediation process in an informal, supportive and neutral environment that encourages open and honest dialogue.

Employee engagement and culture change projects

If you are dealing with challenges such as low staff morale, high turnover rates, and recruitment difficulties, our employee engagement and culture change services can help. Using an external HR consultant may assist workers in feeling more invested in your business and help build a positive and enthusiastic environment. We will explore the dynamics of your staff engagement and provide a platform where staff can provide open and honest feedback.

• Independent Exit Interviews - We conduct unbiased and independent exit interviews to understand the reasons behind staff departures. This valuable information can highlight areas for improvement and help you put a strategy in place to address any issues.
• Exploratory Engagement Meetings - Our facilitators organise exploratory engagement meetings, creating a platform for open dialogue. These sessions delve into the concerns and suggestions of your staff, promoting a collaborative approach to address problems and boost overall engagement.
• Team Sessions for Improved Collaboration - Through skilfully facilitated team sessions, we promote enhanced teamwork within your organisation. By addressing communication barriers, encouraging collaboration, and encouraging a positive team culture, we contribute to improved staff engagement.

The overall goal is to equip your business with the tools and insights to tackle any problems with morale, staff turnover and recruitment. By understanding and encouraging staff engagement, a more positive and productive work environment is encouraged.

Coaching and mentoring for HR managers

The role of an HR manager can be challenging and complex. You need to stay abreast of legal developments and ensure the correct processes are followed when dealing with employees while prioritising the business's best interests. We offer mentorship and coaching to support HR professionals dealing with these complexities.

Our experienced HR mentors provide a valuable sounding board for ideas, helping HR professionals unlock their potential. Whether you are looking for guidance on strategic approaches, need decision-making support or want to develop your expertise, our mentorship programmes are tailored to meet your requirements.

Leadership development and training for line managers

We also offer tailored leadership development and training for line managers and other key employees. Understanding the legal requirements of employee management and being able to resolve difficulties effectively as soon as they arise is highly beneficial. It can reduce the risk of grievances and disputes, improve staff retention and promote staff morale.

Our employee relations consultants provide comprehensive training for managers that can optimise employee relationships throughout your business.
