Top HR Priorities for a business start up

In 2023, more than half of startups (65%) have no dedicated human resources support. That’s a stark contrast to Fortune 100 enterprises, where human resources is a standard department for 100% of top companies. For many startups, this is the result of limited resources. Founders and CEOs are faced with difficult choices, such as whether to devote resources to product development or seeking additional funding. Yet HR is a critically important function for every business. Not only can establishing an HR department early on help your company scale effectively, but…

Q. We are really struggling to recruit, what can you do to help us find good staff, that stay?

It’s a very challenging recruitment market that we are in at the moment. With unemployment at a very low rate, and job vacancies at an all time high, there is a real shortage of candidates available, so its no wonder you are finding it difficult to recruit staff! Competition is tough and anyone looking for work is likely to be applying for other roles, so you need to stand out in the crowd of other job adverts/employers who are looking! We would suggest looking at your Employer Brand first of…

How to onboard your new employees to optimise Employee Retention

You know that sinking feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when one of your newer employees tells you they’re leaving? You thought everything was going well and now you’re asking yourself: What went wrong? Should I have seen this coming? Why is this happening (again)?

Q. Is an employee who has exhausted their sick pay entitled to notice pay if dismissed on grounds of ill health?

Where an employee has exhausted their sick pay, whether they are entitled to payment during their notice period is a complicated question.
