WHAT WE DO

all people management issues, policies and processes,
including legal compliance

A tailored, cost effective 'people issue' support service delivered via
Project commissions
Mentoring the person responsible for people issues in the business
Partnership relationship allowing long term 'total' people issue support

THE SUPPORT WE OFFER

Typical service provision can be broken down into three tiers:

Tier 1: Initial Audit

'Current Employment Practises Health Check' - a comprehensive audit of current practises against employment law obligations and good practise. Includes a review of current employment contracts. Recommendations for actions and proposals for support are also provided to the clients.

Tier 2: Implementing the Basics

Following the 'health check' there are likely to be a number of basic gaps identified and support can be provided at a number of levels to address these gaps:

• Drafting of tailored employment contracts, grievance and disciplinary procedures

• Employers Guide to the Basics - a comprehensive folder providing all basic employment processes including standard forms and letters. All standard forms will be provided on disc to allow clients to input logos. To ensure continued legal compliance, Clients will be invited to purchase updates to the guide as and when appropriate.

• Employee Handbook - providing a tailored set of employment policies as well as setting out the employee's obligations to the business

• Employee Administration forms – covering all employment processes

Tier 3: Ongoing Support

Again there are a number of options for ongoing support:

1. A fixed monthly fee providing unlimited telephone and e-mail support
2. A fixed monthly fee which provides total support for all aspects of people management….essentially your ‘personnel department at a distance’.
3. 'Pay as you go service' where queries are charged on an hourly rate. For more specific projects, for example a recruitment activity or a redundancy situation a fixed fee can be given to undertake the full project.
4. A combination of the above

ADDITIONAL AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Investors In People (IIP)

Should your business wish to work towards the IIP standard, People Business can offer accredited advice. We also carry out assessment work on behalf of the Welsh Quality Centre for IIP UK.

Recruitment

Recruiting the right employee is one of the most important decisions a business will make. Manage the process badly and you may end up with a damaged reputation as an employer and/or the wrong employee! We pride ourselves on being able to manage be-spoke recruitment assignments. We can provide total support from defining the need, designing appropriate recruitment tools, managing all logistical and administrative matters, through to offering employment and designing the employment contract.

Training and Development

Having access to a wide network of quality approved associates, People Business is also able to offer a wide range of be-spoke and ‘off the shelf’ management development training packages, including the design and delivery of Assessment Centres. We can deliver one-off interventions or project manage a company wide development programme.

It is critical that anyone with responsibility for managing employees understands how to implement employment processes in relation to employment law obligations. People Business offers tailored seminars to introduce managers/supervisors to employment law and allow them to understand their main obligations.

Health & Safety

Adherence to health and safety legislation is another critical area for employers. People Business offers support in this area and associated costs can be provided on request
