Practical HR advice from an expert with commercial awareness
Often, people with management responsibilities, no matter their level of experience, benefit from legal guidance and HR support to help them successfully navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape.
Whether it’s knowing what options are available to deal with a matter, concerns about making a misstep, or a need to address a particularly challenging issue or something more routine, expert HR and employment law support is invaluable. We work with you to provide practical advice and commercial options to meet the needs of your business. At Kingfisher Professional Services, we believe in equipping those with people management responsibilities with the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to tackle workplace challenges.
We are also here to lighten the load – whether it’s taking some of the stress and worry out of how to handle an issue or supporting you with resources such as drafting a disciplinary invitation, we can save you valuable management time.
Don’t go it alone, we are ready to help, so please get in touch if you have an HR issue you are dealing with.
Expert support when you need it – HR issues don’t stick to standard office hours, and neither do we
Our usual office hours may be 8.30 am – 5.00 pm Monday to Friday, but access to telephone advice from an employment law specialist is available 24/7 on our out-of-hours service. Round-the-clock telephone support to help you resolve urgent issues should you need it.
An employment contract system that works for your business
Getting it right when it comes to your employment contract documents is vital, not only from a compliance perspective but from a commercial one. Having bespoke employment documentation that meets your needs can help your business to thrive.
Drafting contract documents from scratch, making changes to existing terms and conditions or carrying out a review to identify what (if any changes) are needed can all be daunting prospects for the manager whose remit this falls into, not least because of the time involved. If you need support with employment contracts in your business, get in touch to find out how we can help, so you can get on with the day-to-day business of management.
Keeping you up to date on legal developments
Keeping up to date with legal and HR developments is a must for all businesses, not least because it can help you to remain compliant and reduce the risk of employment tribunal claims. With the wide-reaching Employment Rights Bill making legislative progress, keeping track of changes that will impact your business is more important than ever. Our timely and topical legal updates delivered straight to your inbox will help you stay informed.
