Picking Up Pace
You have got the essentials in place. Now, as your business gets busier, you need reliable day-to-day support to keep everything running smoothly.
Before You Set Off
Picking Up Pace
Maintain Momentum
Shifting Up a Gear
Bumps in the Road
Changing Direction
Getting the foundations right was the first step. Now comes the part that catches most business owners off guard.
As your business picks up pace, the HR questions come more frequently. The admin builds up. Holiday requests need managing. Absence records need keeping. Contracts need updating when something changes. Queries from employees need answering correctly.
None of these are individually difficult. But they all take time, and they all carry risk if they are handled inconsistently or left too long. That is where we come in, usually a call or email to us will save you hours of your own valuable time working out what to do.
What this stage is about
Picking Up Pace is about keeping everything running smoothly as the pace of your business increases. You do not need to reinvent your HR at this stage. You need someone to help you stay on top of it.
From answering HR queries as they come up, to making sure your paperwork is current, your processes are applied consistently, we take the day-to-day people issues off your plate so you can focus on what you are good at.
At this stage we help with:
- HR advice by phone and email, on any people question that comes up during the day
- Day-to-day HR administration: contract amendments, pay changes, absence management, resignation processing
- Keeping your employment policies current as legislation changes
- Breathe management: making sure your people system stays accurate and up to date as your team changes
- Employment law updates so you know what is changing and what it means for your business
- Drafting letters, forms, and correspondence for the situations that come up regularly
The right support for where you are
This stage does not require an in-house HR team. It requires reliable, practical support that is there when you need it and doesn’t cost the earth when you don’t.
Our Advice and Support retainer gives you unlimited HR advice from a designated HR Business Partner for a fixed monthly fee and includes Breathe keeping your people data in one place, always current, always compliant.
Our HR Administration service can handle the operational tasks as and when they arise.
Most businesses at this stage need a combination of all three. We look at where you are and recommend the right level of support for the pace you are moving at.
