How well we get on with people we work with can be central to our experiences of our life at work and can have a huge impact on our both physical and mental wellbeing.

Good people management can result in an improved work experience for all. By improving their people management policies and practices employers can implement best practice.

Employers cannot control all work relationships; however, they can pro-actively encourage relationships based on mutual respect. Problems between individuals at work often arise because employers don't have clear policies on dealing with issues and a grievance can arise.

Think how useful it could be to get timely HR advice to prevent difficulties in dealing with these grievances.

Employees are becoming more knowledgeable about their rights at work. Their employers need to be as up to date as possible to know what they have to do to meet legislative requirements and when they can not. When there is a mismatch of what the employee expects and what the employer thinks they can do this could lead to a misunderstanding.

Should the worst come to the worst mistakes can be both time consuming and costly. Without expert HR advice the cost of legal fees could be much larger than you expect....and this is without a Tribunal finding against you.

Unless you have the time to wade through ever-changing employment legislation, it might be more professional, cost effective and quicker to bring someone in on an adhoc basis to draw up and maintain your contracts and policies. You could have your policies ready before the legislation changes and be made aware of what changes may be on the horizon.

This is where Collaborative can meet the needs of your business. By giving timely responses via telephone or e-mail we can provide an effective support function for small businesses without dedicated HR personnel.
