The benefits of having a HR retainer
There are many benefits to having a HR retainer, some of which I’ve noted below:
· Provides peace of mind that your organisation is legally compliant – apart from reviewing your contract and handbook when you join, we also provide updates on new and changes in employment law.
· We are a good sounding board – “I think the best way to tackle this is ….”; “what about if I tried …”? Most of our clients start conversations like this and it is a relief for them when we highlight any risks if they choose to go down that avenue or provide alternative suggestions of how to address the issue. Having qualified CIPD consultants to bounce ideas off, or come up with new ones, when tackling day to day employee relations issues is immensely beneficial.
· You don’t need to reinvent the wheel - as a retainer client you will have access to a raft of templates to help you address the current issue e.g. writing to an employee who has gone AWOL or has high absence rates, drafting a performance improvement plan to help guide the employee or putting them through a disciplinary process if they don’t improve. Our templates ensure you use the correct wording to get your message across whilst keeping you on the straight and narrow.
We don’t tell you how to run your business – we try and find practical and pragmatic solutions for your issues by letting you know the legal and best practice stance versus what you want to achieve and the risks associated with both approaches, and then leave you to make an informed decision … after all, it is your business.
