SafeWise are HR consultants for small and medium sized businesses across Derby and Derbyshire. If there is nobody in the business whose job this is, we take it on: contracts, policies, the awkward conversations, and a system that keeps the records straight. Same advisor every time, since 2012.
What Does an HR Consultant Do for a Small Business?
Most of it is two things. Making sure the paperwork behind your people is right before anyone questions it, and being on the end of the phone when something happens that you have not dealt with before. You are not paying for a department. You are paying for someone who has seen the situation you are in a hundred times.
Getting the Paperwork Right
Employment contracts written for your business rather than downloaded, sent out for digital signature, and stored in the employee's file with a date stamp. Policies and a handbook kept in line with current employment legislation, with your staff notified automatically when something is updated. If you would rather handle some of it yourself, there are HR document templates as well.
When Something Goes Wrong
A grievance where getting the process right matters as much as the outcome. Somebody signed off for months and no return to work conversation ever booked. A disciplinary where the paperwork matters as much as the decision. Your advisor takes the call, and unlimited phone and email support means you are not watching the clock while you explain the situation.
What You Get for Your Money
- Contracts drawn up for your business, signed digitally and filed with a date on them
- A handbook and policy set that keeps pace with employment law rather than dating quietly
- Unlimited phone and email support from an advisor who knows your business
- Holiday booked, approved and reported without anybody chasing a spreadsheet
- Return to work forms filled in on screen and saved to the right file automatically
- Staff records kept securely, with you deciding who can see what
- Certificate expiry dates tracked, with a reminder before they lapse
- Subcontractors recorded in the same place as your employees
The System You Get With It
Omnia is the HR system that comes with the membership. Rather than emailing over a login and wishing you luck, your advisor configures it around the way the business already runs and takes your managers through it. Ask to see the system working before you agree to anything. There is no charge for that. More on Omnia HR.
HR and Health and Safety Together
Plenty of Derby businesses need both, and the two overlap more than people expect once training records, absence and accident reporting are involved. Membership is sold as HR on its own, health and safety on its own, or the two combined with an advisor for each. See our health and safety consultants in Derby, or the membership options.
