Providing Support and Direction...

Employment legislation is becoming increasingly complex and demands upon companies to meet their obligations are multiplying accordingly. This encompasses a host of areas including:

  Contracts of Employment including Ts and Cs, Staff Handbooks, and Policies and Procedures
  Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures
  Discrimination of all varieties
  Requirement to Inform and Consult with employees
  Working Time Directive
  Maternity and Paternity Leave

and this is to name but a few. If it's not more UK legislation it's European!

To avoid time consuming and expensive problems with Employment Tribunals it is essential to ensure your contracts of employment and other related documentation meet legislative requirements. Stonebridge HR Consultants will review and comment on your current documentation and can produce best practice guidelines and new paperwork.

Sometimes it is necessary to make changes to existing Terms and Conditions of Employment or to standardise a variety of terms that have come together over time. Stonebridge HR Consultants ensure that this exercise is undertaken in the light of current legislation whilst achieving the buy-in of individuals affected to meet business goals.

Equally important as effective contracts and policies is ensuring your management team understand and follow these best practice methods in their interaction with staff. Well trained managers who fully appreciate the legislative demands are far less likely to land you, and them, in hot water. Stonebridge HR Consultants will provide bespoke training for managers to help them avoid the common pitfalls and improve their communication, motivation and management skills.
