In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, it is crucial for businesses to ensure there is a healthy working environment to help promote productivity and equality within their workplace. It is just as important for businesses to comply with employment laws, failing to do this places your business at risk of unwanted claims or employee disputes, which can be very costly and timely to address.

We offer a package called myHR Support which helps employers protect their business and promotes better working environments.

In this blog, we will delve into the key features of myHR Support and the benefits it could bring to you and your business.

1. Tailored HR Policies and Procedures:

myHR Support includes the drafting and issuing of bespoke policies and procedures, aligned to the specific needs of your business. These policies cover essential areas such as equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, harassment prevention, and more, aiming to create a positive working environment for all.

2. Compliance Review and Updates:

Employment laws are subject to frequent change. Because of this, policies and documents can quickly become non-compliant. myHR Support includes regular compliance reviews to keep your business up-to-date, ensuring you remain compliant, at all times. This proactive approach minimises the risk of costly legal disputes and reinforces trust with your workforce.

3. Employee Contracts and Documentation:

Having well-drafted employment contracts and comprehensive documentation is vital for protecting both the employer and the employee’s rights. myHR Support offers expert assistance in drafting contracts, job descriptions, employee handbooks, and other essential documents, fostering transparency and clarity within the employment relationship.

4. Training and Development:

To promote a culture of compliance, myHR Support provides access to training programs for your HR team (if you have one) and line managers. These sessions cover various topics, such as workplace diversity, employee rights, performance management and more, equipping your team with the knowledge and skills needed to handle HR matters professionally and ethically.

5. Employee Relations Support:

Conflict resolution and maintaining positive employee relations are critical to an effective and harmonious workplace. myHR Support offers guidance and support in handling employee grievances, disciplinary actions and performance improvement plans, helping you address issues promptly and fairly.

6. Unlimited usage:

myHR Support is an unlimited usage package, as we don’t believe in limiting how much you can use us. In our experience, the largest issues often start as ones that could have been handled much better at the outset. Because of this, we want to be there to help and support you at the start of an issue, to minimise the risk of it snowballing later down the line.

This helps protect your reputation and minimises the risk of issues getting out of hand.

7. A dedicated Solicitor

Instead of relying on a pool of staff, or being asked to phone a central office number, myHR Support will give you a dedicated fully qualified solicitor who will work closely with you and your business.

Having direct contact details for your dedicated solicitor means you can communicate with them directly without being passed around. This streamlined communication process vastly improves client satisfaction and saves you valuable time, as you won’t have to repeat your story every time you make a call.

8. Pricing more suited to your business:

We are not a multi-site law firm with large overheads. We do not need to charge a price that covers the cost of city centre buildings. Because of this, we can price our products much more competitively without compromising on the quality of service. myHR Support is typically a 12 month agreement. We agree a fixed price up front based on the size of your business, the number of staff you have and the industry in which you work. Our agreed price will not change, no matter how much you use us, giving you comfort and peace of mind.

At the start of the retainer period, we will ensure your contracts and employee handbooks are brought up to date, and perform an assessment of your business to know what we need to focus on to ensure your risk of employment law threats are minimised as far as possible.

We are an extension of your business – and here to act in your best interests.

Conclusion:

We do not believe in limiting how much you can use us, so our packages are unlimited with no limit on the number of hours or times you can call us.

Our comprehensive employment law package empowers your business to build a strong foundation of compliance, instilling confidence in your workforce. By addressing HR management and employment law issues, we aim to free up your resources and time, allowing you to focus on your core business objectives.
