Do I Need Human Resources Support?
HR consultants oversee the lifecycle of an employee, from the time they are first recruited until they leave your employment. Most businesses that employ people need human resources support, but not all need it full time. Many smaller organisations find that working with external HR consultants like ours provides the advice and support they need without them having to meet the cost of a dedicated HR manager or department.
Examples of the types of tasks that HR consultants carry out include the following:
• Recruiting Employees
Experienced HR consultants understand a business’s staffing requirements and respond to them as required. This involves working with key members of the business to understand their needs, managing the budget, and analysing the relevant market.
They must then advertise the role effectively, ensuring the ad and package attract the correct candidates before interviewing those candidates and offering guidance to the business on who to choose.
While selecting the correct candidate will meet the business’s needs and drive its growth, choosing the wrong one can be disastrous and lead to the business facing a raft of undesirable problems. A HR consultant’s expertise and experience can be instrumental in ensuring you get it right.
• Dealing With Contractual Documentation
HR consultants are responsible for ensuring that a new employee’s contract of employment and other relevant documentation are properly drafted and comply with the applicable legal requirements. They will also update and amend existing employees’ contracts as required.
HR consultants will also take responsibility for drafting the business’s policies and procedures, ensuring they reflect the organisation’s reality while also fulfilling any legal criteria.
• Handling Employee Issues
Any issues that arise in connection with your employees must be carefully managed to avoid legal repercussions. For example, any disciplinary matters must be dealt with in accordance with the business’s disciplinary procedures, which should have been prepared in accordance with the relevant minimum legal requirements.
Your business’s HR consultants will oversee your handling of employee issues to ensure you act fairly and in compliance with the law, thereby minimising the risk of any affected employee making a successful Employment Tribunal claim against you.
• Overseeing Key Processes
Unpleasant tasks, such as dismissing an employee or making redundancies, are part and parcel of running a successful business. Ensuring your processes and procedures are lawful is vital in avoiding costly Employment Tribunal proceedings.
HR consultants play a key role in running these processes on behalf of your business, and their guidance will significantly reduce the chance of disgruntled employees bringing legal proceedings against you.
