In a small business you need to ensure that everybody is pulling in the same direction
It can be frustrating if you have a member of the team who is not pulling their weight or being a negative influence amongst your staff, customers or suppliers
We have helped local employers address these issues in a variety of ways when normal motivation and encouragement has failed through to disciplinary action and termination of employment as a last resort
We aim to treat the employee with dignity and respect but at the same time being very clear over the improvement that is required to help resolve your concerns


We have over 25 years experience in the professional management of people within a business, covering all aspects of employment from recruitment to termination of employment.
We concentrate on helping employers deal with challenging staff problems whether it is sickness or absence, a person who is unable to do their job or simply a challenging attitude
Our emphasis is on helping you solve problems in a way which is legally compliant, minimises the risk of any legal challenge, and at the same time treat the employee with fairness, dignity and respect.


We can provide all the documentation you need to ensure compliance with current employment legislation
We can provide employment contracts and particulars of employment tailored to your business. It is a legal requirement to issue these to all employees within 3 months of them joining, although many businesses fail to do this
Most importantly if an employer is starting to have problems with a member of staff it is vital to be able to show a “paper trail” of the steps taken to resolve the issue. This shows reasonableness by the employer and is a critical part of defence at an employment tribunal.
As part of our service we can provide all the documentation and advice needed to resolve the issue
