Walking the tightrope between the strategic and operational objectives of the organisation and the interests of the individuals therein, in the context of increasingly competitive markets and the bigger commercial picture is always the central dilemma of any HR Management plan. Add to this the requirements to comply with current employment legislation and the inherent potential pitfalls, managing the HR function in any business, small or large, can be quite a quandary.
Beardshaw Murray understands this. The team of highly qualified HR professionals, from Directors to Administrators, are well versed in current employment legislation and best practice.
Larger enterprises that already have a HR team may need help with specific projects or may wish to outsource some of the more time-consuming HR functions. There may be times when the required specialism simply does not exist in-house. Many small and medium sized enterprises simply cannot support a dedicated HR specialist in-house. We can provide support as and when you require it, this may be on an ad- hoc or ongoing retained basis.
For those clients that prefer to rely on us for mission critical positions and source their own candidates for standard roles we can offer a thorough consultancy based around the current law and best practice whilst taking into account specialist sourcing methods, testing tools and market factors.
To illustrate we can advise clients on:
- Sourcing and advertising for staff
- Interviewing skills and training
- Interview methodology and procedures
- Shortlisting and selecting candidates
- Employment contracts
- Equal opportunities advice
- Anti-discrimination policies
- Staff retention and benefits
We can also provide:
- Guidelines for drawing up employee manuals – with updates as and when legislation requires this
- Updates and training on employment law and any new legislation
- Assistance with formulating company specific HR policies and procedures
- Annual reviews of HR plans
- A dedicated HR consultant assigned to your company
- A telephonic / e-mail HR support line
Because we believe that human resources support needs to be designed to fit each individual organisation Beardshaw Murray does not believe in providing generic “HR Support Packages”. Your solution can be as innovative and flexible as you need, assisting in your goals of optimum organisational performance matched to the workplace culture, the leadership ethos and your existing employees.
