Absence Management

An employer is likely to deal with a worker’s unacceptable absence at some stage and dong so properly can ensure the working relationship remains healthy.

Disciplinary

Grievance

Do you have an employee who has raised a grievance? Once a grievance or concern is brought to your attention, you have a duty to deal with this in the correct way.

Harassment & Bullying

Bullying and harassment within the workplace can lead to increased levels of absence and high staff turnover as well as reduced productivity and staff morale.

We understand the need to deliver cost-effective and tailored training, which will not only ensure that you meet your legal obligations but will also help to improve overall efficiencies.

Redundancies

Whether it's the redundancy process, redundancy selection pool and criteria, alternative roles or redundancy appeals - we're here to support you and your business.

Performance Management

No matter how good or skilled a worker is there is likely to come a time when that performance dips. If that drop is long-term it will need to be addressed.

Discrimination

The 2010 Equality Act is the most significant piece of equality legislation for many years. It makes it easier for employers to understand their responsibilities by simplifying the law.

"I had a relatively short conversation, but I felt understood and got good advice. Also afterwards I was provided with a link with more information to my issue since it was a very specific one that would not have been dealt with easily. However, the tips she gave me will get me to my goal I am certain."
