Disciplinary and Grievance

Disciplinary and Grievance Advice in Surrey

We offer specialist disciplinary and grievance advice in Surrey, and throughout the UK. As experienced HR consultants, we know this much is true: in your role as a business owner, the idea of a disciplinary delivers a creeping dread.

It’s time-consuming and it’s super-stressful – for you, and your employee. And, it can create considerable conflict and disruption. You may not know what to do. Equally, you can’t please all the people all of the time. Your unpopular decision could result in a grievance, even with your best intentions.

Both disciplinaries and grievances can be particularly challenging for small to medium businesses. They’re negative, time-consuming and of course, distracting.

How Can We Help?

Firstly, here at HR Business Consultants, we have the expertise and the knowledge to help you avoid, or at the very least minimise the need for these often-damaging processes.

Prevention is indeed better than cure.

Our role is to ensure that your company operates through effective consultation and performance management, and remains legally compliant. Also, as far as possible, you have positive working relationships with everyone. Indeed, that everyone matters – and that they know it.

Disciplinary and Grievance Support Options

However, is it time to make things more formal?

With years of experience, we can take care of the entire disciplinary process on your behalf. The choice is yours: we can either undertake the investigation of the issues in question with you, or offer you full guidance on how best to do this. As you would expect, all of this will need to be fully documented.

Again, as you would expect – we need to know everything. The full picture, please. But don’t be concerned. HR Business Consultants will take an unbiased, non-judgemental approach every step of the way.

As the employer, the responsibility is yours. Equally, the decisions you reach must be yours.

But, we’ll let you know the options you face, undertake full investigations, help you prepare for meetings, and furnish you with all the documentation you need for the least damaging outcome.

When it comes to a grievance, emotions can run high. You’ll want the impact on your business to be as minor as possible.

We’re impartial and will work with both parties to understand what’s happened. HR Business Consultants will support you through the whole procedure, providing everything you need, including that all-important outcome letter.

We’re about managing and reducing your risk. If we can help you, do get in touch.

 

  • HR Business Consultants were tasked to provide us with guidance as we do not have any HR resources within the charity.  Our priorities were to address some restructuring, recruitment and training.   These were completed smoothly. Having them there at the end of the phone or coming into the office, gives us peace of mind ensuring we are making decisions in line with employment legislation. Knowing our managers have support has taken a weight off senior managers.

  • HR Business Consultants offer a great bespoke HR service. I had a relatively small HR issue - however, nothing was too much trouble and they were able to help me to get to a sensible, practical solution. I would thoroughly recommend them if you have any HR issues whether just a one-off issue or on-going support to support your business.
