SafeWise are HR consultants based at Hilton Hall in Wolverhampton. We work with businesses that have no HR department and no appetite for building one, handling the contracts, the policies and the situations nobody wants to get wrong. We also train your managers, which is the part most businesses skip.
The Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment
Under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, employers have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their employees. Reasonable steps means something you can evidence, not something you intended. Our Preventing Sexual Harassment Training covers what harassment actually looks like at work, how to recognise inappropriate behaviour and warning signs, the effect it has on people and on the business, and where employer responsibility ends and employee responsibility begins.
HR Courses We Run in Wolverhampton
We run two classroom HR courses here, both written for the people who have to handle a problem first rather than for HR specialists. HR Essentials for Managers is a four hour session on the employment law and people problems managers meet week to week, built for team leaders, supervisors, office managers, directors and anyone newly promoted into managing staff. Preventing Sexual Harassment Training is the second. Both are on our HR courses page.
Someone to Call Before You Act
Most HR problems are cheap to fix early and expensive to fix late. A conversation before you put something in writing is worth more than a conversation afterwards. Your advisor is on the end of the phone as often as you need, and it is the same advisor each time, so you are not starting from the beginning every call.
What the Membership Actually Covers
- Contracts and handbooks that reflect how you actually run the place
- Absence and return to work handled the same way by every manager
- Disciplinary and grievance paperwork that still stands up a year later
- Policy updates pushed out to staff without you chasing anybody
- Holiday requested and approved in a few clicks
- Training records and expiry dates kept in one place
- Subcontractor details held alongside your employees
- Unlimited phone and email support, included rather than metered
Keeping Up With Employment Law
Employment law is moving quickly at the moment and a good deal of it lands in the next eighteen months. Your advisor tells you what applies to your business before it applies, rather than after somebody has already been treated the wrong way. We write it up as it comes on the SafeWise blog.
The paperwork side runs on Omnia, our HR system, which your advisor sets up with you. Demos cost nothing. Membership is HR on its own, or with health and safety beside it and an advisor for each, and there are our health and safety consultants in Wolverhampton if that is the side you need.
Trusted by Wolverhampton businesses for HR and health and safety.
More About Us
Based Here, Not Just Listed Here:
Our office is at Hilton Hall in Wolverhampton, and the HR courses run here too.
Built for Managers, Not for HR:
Both courses are written for supervisors and team leaders who deal with people problems without an HR department behind them.
The Same Advisor Every Time:
You are not re-explaining your business on every call. Phone and email support is unlimited.
Evidence, Not Intentions:
Under the 2023 duty, reasonable steps have to be demonstrable. Training and records are how you show them.
