Book your HR Health-Check!

Please get in touch to book a human resources "health-check" of your business. This is a diagnostic exercise which will consider your employment documentation, policies, procedures and processes. On conclusion, we shall provide you a high-level report highlighting perceived strengths, weaknesses, risks and opportunities. This would be provided completely free of charge and without any obligation to engage us in any follow-up work. The health-check provides an excellent opportunity for a business to have a second and professional opinion upon how you manage your human resources.

Workplace Investigations

At Online HR we are regularly called upon to assist employers with undertaking fair and independent investigations of workplace matters. For example, related to bullying and harassment allegations, employee grievance and potential disciplinary issues. Clearly, making a decision without completing a reasonable investigation can make any subsequent decisions or actions unfair, leaving an employer vulnerable to legal action. We aim to minimise such risk for employers by undertaking fair and objective investigations and providing a comprehensive investigation report in conclusion. An investigation is a fact-finding exercise to collect all the relevant information on a matter. A properly conducted investigation can enable an employer to fully consider the matter and then make an informed decision upon it. Please get in touch in you would like to discuss, in confidence, any potential workplace investigation requirement on 01313412550 or email, georgew@onlinehr.co.uk.
