Employee relations
Employee relations
All companies, whatever size, face issues around employing staff at some point. Such issues can be related to establishing the initial employment relationship or may arise at any time during their employment. Handling these issues incorrectly can result in demotivating staff or – even worse – litigation. Both outcomes will have an impact on the profitability and the effectiveness of the organisation. Seeking professional advice on employee matters will provide you with the security of knowing you are acting within the law, will help you to develop your employment relationship with staff, and will drastically reduce the risk of litigation.
Why choose Workplace Law?
Workplace Law’s HR Consultants are experienced and qualified HR practitioners who have worked in a variety of environments, with both small and large companies. Our consultants know that you need to run an efficient cost-effective business – whether in the private or public sector – and so our aim is to provide pragmatic advice that keeps you fully informed of potential risks. The HR team has a proven history of building excellent relationships with clients and providing practical and creative solutions. The team’s skills enable us to add value on all levels – strategy, operational, development – and to a mix of audiences – Board, Senior Managers, teams, individuals and employees.
The HR Team can provide clear ‘how to’ advice on your employee relations problems by phone or email. We can provide this service on a ‘one-off’ basis or as a telephone advice contract to support you throughout the year. Having an experienced HR Consultant at the end of the phone provides you with the security of knowing there is always someone there to advise and explain your next steps in easy-to-understand language. If you need us to provide a letter or attend a meeting then you can purchase that service ‘as and when’.

Case studies
"In 2009 Chaps Ltd recognised that it needed to improve its health and safety systems. We changed our Health and Safety consultants to Workplace Law in order to give us a fresh approach towards our management of health and safety and to gain specialist construction advice.
"By using their expertise and experience Simon and Maria have guided us into developing a health and safety system that has achieved CHAS accreditation and given our customers and principle contractor’s confidence in our management of health and safety. They have always been available to offer advice when needed and to provide independent site inspections and audits which are often required by our customers.
"Both Simon and Maria continue to support Chaps Ltd and have become an important, integral part of our Health and Safety Management System."
Suzanne Jackson, HR Director, Emprise:
“Workplace Law has made a difference to the quality of the service we can provide to our staff. And because of the customised service from Workplace Law, the costs have come down.
“We’re now into the second year and we’re pleased with the level of service which is always turned around quickly with any queries being answered straight away.”
Martyn Ball, Head of HR at Akkeron Hotels:
“It’s not just telephone advice that we’ve come to rely on, Workplace Law consultants are also happy to attend our meetings in person and Jayn Bond has regular catch ups with us to discuss any HR related issues. Working with people you can trust is important to me and I value the personal relationship that we have developed with the team at Workplace Law.”
“The accreditation enhances our client services, evidences the robustness of our processes and demonstrates the passion and professionalism of our staff on every level.
“The exceptional support and input from the team at Workplace Law and in particular Simon Toseland, has ensured that the highest safety standards have been implemented and these are to be continually assessed and tested externally."
