HR Dept. in Swindon Expands 

 

Local employers can now access practical employment advice and support from the recently expanded HR Dept in Swindon, which has grown two-fold in the last year, serving small and medium sized businesses in Swindon and the surrounding areas.

 

The HR Dept’s Peter Jones and his growing team of HR experts specialise in helping small and medium sized employers manage their human resources responsibilities and ‘people problems’.

 

 

They also help local businesses access the levels of expertise and practical support usually reserved for large organisations with in house HR professionals.

 

Acting as a HR department for SME employers, local HR professionals are on call to provide a full range of local support including an advice line to deal with day-to-day personnel queries and tailored, one to one advice on issues ranging from employment contracts and handbooks, HR policies and procedures, employment law advice to disciplinary and grievance issues.

 

The growth and expansion is encouraging at a time where businesses of all sizes are facing tough times. Already burdened, employers are plagued by ever-changing legislation and it is recent announcements of the qualifying period to claim unfair dismissal increasing from 1-2 years from April 2012 amongst others that is keeping The HR Dept busy.

 

Providing HR support for local businesses

 

Peter Jones comments: "Taking on more staff and growing my business means that more employers have the opportunity to be increasingly proactive in managing their workforce effectively."

 

"Most small and medium sized businesses don’t need a full time HR presence, but do need support with dealing with HR issues that arise when employing either their first member of staff, or their 100th."

 

Rebecca Nicholls joined the team in April 2011 and Emma Briers started in January 2012.
