Family Policies & Flexible Working


Legislation in this area is constantly changing and further Government reviews are currently in the pipeline.

There are statutory entitlements for pregnant employees, mothers, fathers, adoptive parents and for employees with obligations to look after disabled children or relatives.

Flexible Employers enjoy higher levels of staff satisfaction & staff retention

which can only be good for your business.

Line Manager Briefings


Many employment tribunals are lost because employers don't follow their own policies.  Line managers must understand and work within the guidelines set out within your policies.

We can provide detailed line manager briefings outlining the procedures to be followed and the documents that need to issue and kept on file.  The beauty of briefings is that all responses and actions are consistent.
