Helen Patterson has worked in HR for over 10 years, working at a senior level in companies including Gregg's PLC, Debenham's and the global American corporation; Diebold. Helen has specialised in a number of areas including employee relations and recruitment and development but has mainly worked as a generalist. Helen now offers an individual HR service to small to medium sized businesses who require support with all aspects of HR whether this be telephone advice or larger projects such as producing an employee handbook.
Why is there a need for HR Services:
Employing people today brings an ever-increasing burden of statutory UK & EU regulations
Increasing exposure to the worst case scenarios of Employment Tribunals and Health & Safety criminal prosecutions
Unlimited fines & custodial sentences
Increasing legal and administrative burden
Most companies, particularly "Small Business Operators" cannot afford or justify an additional member of staff to ensure that the business attains HR compliance
The majority of employers in the UK simply haven't the time or resources to keep abreast of legislative changes.
90% of Employment Tribunals occur through Employer's procedural errors
Helen offers a service available at two levels, each with a fixed fee, and designed for developing business which cannot afford (and probably do not yet need) full-time HR management, but which need to know that HR matters are being handled professionally.
The service is designed to ensure companies maintain their legal compliance status and/or further develop their people polices in support of business objectives.
