Winning at it - or just winging it? How outsourced HR partnerships make all the difference

Effective human resources can be the making of a small business.  But from hiring, onboarding and employee documentation through to performance reviews and employee benefits, there is much to master within the HR domain. And that’s before you consider the more challenging aspects of being an employer, such as redundancies or handling poor performance.

UK businesses will soon be grappling with a significant overhaul of employment law. The first elements of the Employment Rights Bill are expected to come into force this autumn, introducing obligations and liabilities that could disrupt any organisation unprepared for the changes.

Not just another piece of admin

It's clear, then, that treating HR as just another piece of admin is not a sensible or sustainable strategy for business leaders. Spending time on HR takes you away from your core mission, and continually ‘winging it’ could expose you to unnecessary reputational or legal risk.

But what if you’re not in a position to build an in-house HR function?

Employment Rights Bill: act now

Having experienced professionals on your side is always a wise strategy, but at times of change it’s essential. When the Employment Rights Bill becomes law, it will bring alterations and amendments to many areas of employment law - including flexible working requests, reduced probationary periods and extended tribunal time limits. No business can afford to ignore it.

Do watch this space for news of what the new legislation will mean for small businesses.
