Human Resources and Occupational Health

The more effective your people are, the more likely the business efficiency and productivity will improve. However, once promoted, many first line managers are not provided with appropriate training for handling their Human Resources effectively. This can lead to a lack of confidence in dealing with difficult issues such as poor performance, poor attitude and poor attendance - and often results in conflict, lack of control and operational inefficiency. At worst, it could lead to disciplinary and dismissal disasters, with successfully argued and costly Employment Tribunal claims.

Get ahead of the competition and ensure your productivity is always at its best. Ensure you have safeguarded your risk against the damaging claims of discrimination or bullying. We can help you achieve this by training your managers and equipping them with vital people management skills - to empower them to be the confident professionals they really are.

Regardless of legislation, promoting and maintaining good health policies and practices in your workplace can set you apart from the competition. You'll be able to recruit and retain the best staff, reduce sickness levels and improve productivity and profitability.
