The key features of retained HR support with me? ⭐️ I’ve been able to engage with a number of employees on long term sickness absence to support them and either plan a phased return or a comfortable and dignified exit. ⭐️ I’ve built relationships with key leaders in the business whose confidence has grown massively knowing my advice is just a phone call away. ⭐️ I’ve gained the trust of employees of a small business who were at loggerheads heads with the management team, knowing that we all want the same thing. ⭐️ Business owners tell me my advice is flexible and authentic and suits their business style. ⭐️ My advice and support is reactive, I’m available when businesses need me (within reason!) so no more sleepless nights!

🚨 HR Leaders, how are we preparing for the new duty to prevent Sexual Harassment in the Workplace?🚨 From 26 October 2024, employers across the UK will face a new legal responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. This change is fast approaching, and the guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is crucial for compliance 📅 Here’s what’s expected: ✅ Conduct a risk assessment to identify areas prone to harassment (think power imbalances or work socials with alcohol). ✅ Develop a separate policy for sexual harassment or clearly distinguish it from other types of harassment. ✅ Engage with unions or worker representatives to build out these policies. ✅ Ensure your policy includes clear, relevant examples of sexual harassment specific to your workplace. ✅ Address harassment by third parties such as clients, customers, or suppliers. ✅ Provide training for all staff, especially managers, to handle complaints and concerns.  ❗ Employers who don't take these steps could face enforcement actions or increased compensation claims ❗ HR leaders, how are you planning to execute these changes? Are your policies and training programmes ready? Let’s talk about how to ensure you’re fully prepared by 26 October!  #HR #SexualHarassmentPrevention #WorkplaceSafety #Leadership #Getitright

WHAT MAKES ME ANY DIFFERENT TO ANY OTHER HR PROFESSIONAL? I've been sharing what retained HR services look like when working with me in posts over the last couple of weeks. Yet why choose me when there are so many others 'out there'? Well, I suppose it's 'me' in a nutshell and also what I bring to the table in terms of experience and expertise. I also do the work required on time and on budget. My work ethic is strong.   If you don't know, I have more than 38 years’ of experience in HR and people management both as an employee and self-employed. I had a long career with Royal Mail before striking out on my own. With all new clients, when I onboard them, I carry out a detailed analysis of the current state of their HR compliance, policies and procedures through an initial audit. This creates a base line for our future work together - and this picture will vary depending on the type of business, what was or was not in place before and also in line with recent changes in the business. I will then move on to create policies and contracts, relevant to them and their business structure, to ensure legal compliance. This will always be tailored to a client's specific needs and the needs of the law. I provide a comprehensive administrative service with personal completion of all requirements – not just the provision of templates which could easily be downloaded from the internet. For retained clients, I offer unlimited remote advice on the telephone or via email every month. Also in the case of emergency which has arisen suddenly and needs to be acted upon. In these rare circumstances, I offer a guarantee of that advice being given the same day.  For some clients (and others who are interested though at a higher cost) I offer a range of employment law training modules for line managers who need to know and understand the law, what's coming up and what needs to be planned ready for changes in the coming months. At the moment, outside of work, I'm keeping an eye on the football! As anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a fan! Tonight I'll be hoping that England do well in their match against Denmark!
