When all the new policies and procedures are in place for you and your managers, wouldn't it help to have some training on implementing them?

Consider how useful it would be to have a bespoke workshop for you and your managers to help understand the implications of new employment legislation and how to apply new policies.

Whether to assist in people skills training or a range of modules on employment law subjects, Collaborative can help you by the development of in-house workshops and training programmes developed to suit your business and help you and your managers.

Staff absence can cost your business a great deal each year. Managing absence effectively, knowing the legal rights of your employee, distinguishing between short and long term absence and introducing back to work initiatives can have a real benefit to your bottom line.

Poor performance and unhelpful conduct can cause huge problems for employers. Badly handled disciplinary actions can lead to drawn out proceedings which could have a poor effect on the rest of the workforce. Knowing how to conduct an investigation, how to have an auditable paper trail and how to deal with the disciplinary interview can be the difference between success and failure for your disciplinary actions.

Retaining the staff you currently have makes business sense as you can save on both recruitment and training costs. Learning to deal with sensitive HR issues, which could be embarrassing or distressing, with compassion and authority can help both you and your managers being seen as an employer of choice. Effective handling of employees' grievances could also ensure that you are seen as a fair and consistent employer.

When recruitment is necessary failure to recruit the right person can harm your business. Drawing up a job description and a person spec based on the competencies required for the job will take the guess work out of selection. We can help you by ensuring your interviews are legally compliant and designed to select the right candidate for the job. Using effective listening skills and understanding the non verbal language may assist you to avoid costly selection mistakes.
