Why small businesses need on-site HR support
Small businesses, and especially microbusinesses, often lack the resources and expertise in-house to manage human resources effectively. This means that HR is an area that is often overlooked - or avoided - until there’s a problem.
Many small businesses sign up to remote HR helplines on expensive long-term contracts. Alternatively, they use proformas that are not specific to their business or tailored to individual circumstances.
Here at Wilkin Chapman, our HR advice and support services ensure that expertise is on-site whenever your business needs it. You can be rest assured that our services are provided by trusted, local advisers who know and understand your operation.
Our team of HR specialists can attend formal meetings on-site and take accurate minutes, including disciplinaries, grievances, and ill-health absence meetings. We will also ensure the process is compliant with both the legislative requirements and internal procedures. Furthermore, our team of HR consultants are on hand to advise on decision making following internal hearings, providing assistance in formalising written decisions.
Our HR team works alongside employment solicitors, ensuring that all services are in line with statutory legal requirements. Should internal processes or queries lead to the need for formal legal advice, that can be escalated accordingly to ensure businesses are supported throughout an entire process.
The cost-effective services are fully flexible, allowing businesses to choose the level of support. Whether you need help with a one-of employee problem; require quarterly, monthly, or weekly visits for management meetings; or want support via phone and email, we can create a package that suits your needs.
