HR in the spotlight for 2011!

Get legal, Get Focused, Get investment for the future. 
Is your business complying with current employment legislation?
Are your managers equipped with the skills and confidence to deal with employee relations?
Are you engaging your employees to achieve business targets? 

Most employee issues arise because boundaries are not set or communicated. If policies and procedures are not in place, line managers lack the confidence and knowledge to deal with staff disputes. Procedures are not followed, time is wasted and focus is often taken away from the business operation. In addition it can be stressful for the line managers - a situation you want to avoid.

It doesn't take much effort or financial investment to up skill your line managers and shift supervisors in basic policies and procedures. We are running HR Toolkit Workshops in February and March 2011. For more information on these sessions please contact Alison Green, Regional HR Adviser. Alison also offers a HR Mentoring Programme for Senior Line Managers who do not have HR managers on site. This is a tailored programme that underpins your business strategy. For more information on this popular service please contact Alison Direct 07885 208 375.
