Why Are Human Resources So Important?
Your workforce is one of your most important assets. By investing in the people who work for you, you can ensure they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to thrive. In doing so, you will encourage productivity and morale, ensure everyone reaches their full potential, and secure your business’s success.
Investing in your employees is not only important to ensure a productive workplace, but also to comply with the law. As an employer, you have a raft of legal obligations aimed at safeguarding the rights, safety, and integrity of your workforce. Failing to adhere to these obligations exposes you to legal claims that can prove costly for your organisation, both financially and in terms of your reputation and ability to attract and retain employees.
Examples of the types of legal obligations employers are subject to include the following:
- A duty to provide employees with a written statement of employment or employment contract
- A duty to provide employees with a payslip showing how much they have earned and dedications, such as tax and national insurance contributions
- A duty to provide employees with a minimum amount of paid holiday leave
- A duty to pay statutory sick pay to employees
- A duty to offer maternity, paternity, and adoption leave and provide maternity, paternity, and adoption pay
- A duty to pay employees at least the legal minimum wage
- A duty to consider any flexible working requests you receive
- A duty to avoid discrimination in the workplace
- A duty to make any reasonable adjustments required to cater for a disabled employee
- A duty to follow a fair procedure when making any redundancies
- A duty to take reasonable steps to prevent instances of sexual harassment in the workplace
Understanding these and your other legal duties towards their employees can be a challenge for even the most experienced business owner. HR consultants specialise in helping businesses navigate employment law and practice, ensuring they comply with their legal obligations and reducing the risk of legal proceedings being brought against them.
Why Choose Outsourced HR Services?
While effective human resources services are an integral part of any successful business, many smaller organisations neither need nor can justify the cost of a full time HR department or manager. Instead, they choose to outsource the function to specialist organisations like ours. That way, they can choose the level of support they require and manage their spend according to their budget.
Our HR consultants have vast expertise and experience in providing outsourced HR services to small businesses like yours. Just some of the services we can provide include the following:
- Managing employee benefits, such as salaries, bonuses, pension plans, and life insurance.
- Recruitment and staffing, ensuring you can attract and retain top-quality talent.
- Training and development, to ensure your workforce stays on top of advances in your field and maintain your competitive edge.
- Performance management, including reviewing your employees’ performances, conducting appraisals, offering feedback, and devising any necessary plans of action.
- Legal compliance, to ensure you adhere to the extensive obligations placed on employers by the law.
- Employee relations, such as managing grievances, disciplinaries, and redundancies.
