Before the end-of-year rush kicks in, now is a good time to get a few HR-related jobs ticked off your list.

Check employee contracts - make sure contracts are up-to-date and reflect employees’ current roles, hours or responsibilities.

Review holiday arrangements - ensure employees are fully aware of annual leave policies and requesting time off during the festive season.

Review your employee handbook - has the business changed since it was written? Now might be the time to update it.

Think about the new year - start planning for the new year now rather than leaving it until January. Think about potential recruitment, any change to working arrangements or staff development.

Not sure where to start? We can help you identify what needs attention and make sure your HR is ready for the year ahead.

Don’t let your outdated HR policies come back to haunt you this Halloween…

It’s easy for HR documents to fall out-of-date, why not give them a quick check this month?

Some examples of outdated policies include:

Homeworking policies written before hybrid working became the norm.

Holiday policies that don't reflect how the business actually operates.

Outdated sickness absence procedures.

We’re not saying you need to re-write everything, but a regular review can help you spot where simple updates are needed.

A little HR housekeeping now could save you a fright later, and as always, if you need help updating policies and documents, we’re your people.

We’re sorry for mentioning it, but Christmas is coming, which means annual leave requests will start coming at you thick and fast.

If several employees request the same days off, it can become a bit of a headache for line managers.

Now is a good time to check:

Do employees know how to request annual leave?

Are there clear rules around busy periods and Christmas closure?

Are managers applying the same approach to everyone?

Have you communicated any deadlines for Christmas leave?

A little forward planning now could save you a lot of stress later.

Need help getting your HR processes ready for the festive season? We’re here to help.

AI might be able to write your emails and answer your business-related questions, but can it handle tricky employee conversations or situations offer fresh perspectives or show empathy?

When it comes to HR and managing people, we’d really advise going down the real human person route.

Find out why you might need an actual HR expert rather than an AI bot in our latest blog post: https://p2hr.co.uk/blog/why-you-might-need-an-actual-hr-expert-rather-than-ai.

It’s normal for businesses to experience quieter periods and downtime, but don’t look at it as a negative, use it for positive and plan/prepare for the rest of the year.

Review your HR policies - are they up-to-date and compliant with the latest legislation?

Schedule training and development for employees.

Refresh your recruitment plans - update job descriptions before you urgently need to hire.

Check in with the team - gather feedback, recognise achievements and strengthen your engagement.

Look at your marketing plan - is it still realistic for where your business is at right now?

This could be a great time to call in the experts (us!) and have us look over your policies and documents and help you get organised for when things pick up again.

How do you make the most of downtime in your business?

Before you wind down for the year, have you tackled the less obvious HR jobs?

Are your job descriptions up-to-date?

Are there any skills or knowledge gaps in your employees?

Do managers need extra support?

Are informal working arrangements documented?

Are there recurring issues you need to address?

A little HR housekeeping now can put you in a much stronger position for the year ahead, and as always, we’re here to help.
