Policies and procedures
Policies and procedures
HR policies underpin the provision of HR services in any organisation no matter what the size. However, often they become out dated and equally unworkable. Old policies may not comply with the latest employment legislation or you may wish to change the culture or focus of your organisation only to find your policies are too restrictive.
Certain key documents such as contract of employment, disciplinary and grievance procedures are legally required and an effective set of clear and workable HR policies and procedures are critical for any organisation.
We can provide bespoke documentation to suit the needs of your business, to ensure it is workable and clear for your employees and managers. Sound documentation will mitigate legal risks, ensure compliance across the organisation and improve productivity through staff being clear on what is required as well as the removal of wasted time from ineffective policies.
We are able to update your existing documents or provide new documentation and in addition support you to introduce these to your employees to ensure effectiveness and buy in from day one.

- Employee Contract (any type)

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."
