HUMAN RESOURCES & THE LAW

FOR TRAINING, CONSULTANCY & LEGAL ADVICE

TRAINING

Stratus Associates is expanding our HR Arm. Organisations often have access to a good deal of this information – but sometimes it helps to have an external viewpoint and delegates can be more open and honest in training sessions.

Nowadays, Employment Law can be a minefield for employers and their staff so we offer everything from training such as: Recruitment and Selection, Performance Appraisal, Absence Management, Discipline and Grievance, Harassment & Bullying, Equality & Diversity and Basic Employment Law right through to consultancy and legal advice.

Have a glance below at the seven character types who might cause you pain as a manager or colleague – do you recognise any within your own organisation?

If Only’s – are unrealistic and spend a lot of time wishing for the impossible	Indecisives - don’t like making decisions and worry about getting things wrong	Optimistic Butterflies – flutter from task to task and make unrealistic promises

Blockers – tell you it can’t be done and quote history to delay the future	Snipers – pick off the vulnerable and make cutting remarks, especially at meetings
Vocals – shout a lot and don’t worry about upsetting others	Bullies – destroy individuals and teams and care little about the consequences

If you do recognise any of these characters and feel you need to change their behaviour, contact us for a no-obligation chat (by clicking here to email us – enquiries@stratusassociates.co.uk) or calling 0161 904 7060 and asking for ‘HR TRAINING’

CONSULTANCY

Sometimes, a training solution isn’t the answer. Maybe you just need an expert view on your particular issue – someone to bounce ideas off – someone who has been in your position and has tried and tested ideas and suggestions to discuss with you.

We wanted to bring in an expert to help you, so we are working with Barbara Barlow and her team at BeRightHR Ltd, a consultancy designed to provide HR solutions at all levels.

BeRightHR Limited offers an affordable range of HR services to SME's to help them get their employment practices right.

Employment legislation can be a minefield but Barbara can safely guide business owners through that by simplifying the legal processes to make them easy to understand and workable for business.

They actively promote the value of settling matters before they escalate to avoid the financial loss attached to Employment Tribunal claims. Barbara can make sure that businesses get it right from the start and are legally compliant when meeting their employment obligations. They pride themselves in helping business owners to use best practice when managing their staff so that they get the best out of them.

If you feel this will help your staff to be more productive in your business Barbara is offering a FREE consultation to assess your business requirements. This is available to all those who come through the Stratus website, so contact us to arrange an appointment:

LEGAL ISSUES

Most importantly, if things go really wrong we are able to arrange with our associate lawyer Lee Jefcott and his company “Blue Sky Law” to help with any legal matters, from representing you in court to simply looking at your contract to make sure it doesn’t contravene any new legislation. We are currently delivering a seminar around the North West region on Organisational Development called "Re-tooling Your Business in a Recession" which includes a section about Parting Company Painlessly.

If this would be useful for you, contact us for a no-obligation chat (by clicking here to email us – enquiries@stratusassociates.co.uk) or calling 0161 904 7060 and asking for ‘HR LEGAL ISSUES’
