We can ensure your business runs smoothly by putting in place necessary and helpful policies and contractual terms which are appropriate to your specific business. This will assist managers to deal with day-to-day issues and reduce the possibility of conflict where employees do not understand the requirements of the business. We can also help you to train managers in the correct implementation of these policies to ensure that issues such as discrimination do not occur.

We have experience working with HR teams and managers where there may be tricky issues in dealing with unions or works councils (both UK and European). If necessary we can provide training to works councils on their role in day-to-day situations but also in TUPE and redundancy situations. This knowledge will assist in the smooth running of such processes and lead to a more confident representative function.

As a business there are periods of uncertainty which can result in the need to review how you run your business. This can include consideration of reductions in the number of staff employed, changing terms and conditions and business reorganisation. We can assist with all of these matters. We can work with you to consider alternatives to workforce reductions. If reductions are inevitable then we can plan with you to not just ensure legal compliance but also the fairest and most business efficient method to select and inform staff. We will work with you to protect your brand value in even this difficult situation.

We can ensure that any steps necessary are sensitive to the staff, and place the business in the best position to succeed going forward. We have experience of handling large-scale restructures and more focussed processes.

Mass settlement agreements can be a strategic and efficient solution for employers facing the need to streamline redundancy or reorganisation processes across multiple roles within their organisation, offering enhanced terms to employees in exchange for their agreement to the terms outlined in the settlement. We can visit your employees on site to help them throughout the process as well as drafting standard settlement agreement terms for employers to use.
