As a SME you undoubtedly need HR now and again but probably can't warrant the additional headcount. With Comfort HR you get the skills, knowledge and experience of a HR Director only when you need it, which is a lot more cost effective than a permanent employee. In summary, Comfort HR can offer you advice and/or assistance with: • Furlough • Contracts of Employment • Pay reviews • Recruitment - from writing job descriptions right through to on-boarding (inducting) your new employee; negotiating terms with recruitment agencies • Reviewing your ethical compliance • Compiling a HR strategy • Implementation of HR Policies and Procedures • Employment Relations matters (investigations into disciplinary, grievance, absence issues; capability and performance management) • Termination of employment • Restructures and redundancy programmes (large or small scale) • Learning and development, including apprenticeships (via a training partner) • HR-related training for management I am not a lawyer and to be honest, with most in-house HR related issues you really don't need one. My costs are reasonable (I appreciate your margins may be low) and a first-rate service will be provided from someone who has worked both ‘on the ground floor’ and at the board table and done everything in between. In addition, I understand your business may not be the usual 9 to 5. I tailor my hours to suit yours - if you have a meeting with an employee that needs to take place at 2am, that's fine. Whatever your HR needs, I am able to help in both an advisory; over-the-phone; hands on/on-site capacity. The advice provided is sound, commercial and pragmatic with no 'fluff' - you will not hear me say, “nope, you can’t do that”; what I will do is get you to where you want to be, but in the right way, leaving you free to concentrate on growing your company and comfortable in the knowledge your HR requirements are in good hands. Comfort HR can offer HR services in any location within the UK.
