Demos HR Solutions

Demos HR Solutions With over 15 years’ experience working in various industries across all disciplines of Human Resources. And that something is me.

Like many other HR Consultants, I have all the experience, qualifications and skills you’d expect from someone who has over 15 years experience of working for well-respected brands, across multiple sectors and markets. But when I started my consultancy in 2016, I did it because I knew I could be different and that I could offer something different. I’m unique because while I consider myself a HR p

rofessional first, I’m a business person a very close second; with all the commercial acumen and knowledge to understand that getting things done quickly and efficiently is just as important as making sure it’s done in the right way, with people always put first. I understand how, for some, people management can seem a daunting challenge and with all the other pressures of running a business it can drop down the priority list. But with strong interpersonal skills I enjoy working in partnership with business leaders to really understand the business and its key drivers, and work to provide practical tailored solutions which link people solutions to the goals of the business. Whilst ensuring these are always within legal and procedural frameworks I take a pragmatic approach …. I’m based in Manchester, but have the flexibility to work across the UK and Europe – it’s down to your needs and requirements. There’s not much I don’t love about what I do; so regardless of whether it’s setting up a new HR function and strategy, or just some day-to-day help with a specific HR situation, just get in touch. If you want to find out more about my experience, then please just check out my LinkedIn profile here. Thanks, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

One of the key topics I explore in my August HR Update is the increasing cost of getting a dismissal wrong.

From January 2027, the compensation cap for unfair dismissal is set to be removed, while employees will gain unfair dismissal rights after six months rather than two years. The newsletter also covers:

• The tax implications of creative employee perks
• What increased Fair Work Agency enforcement could mean for small businesses
• A back-to-school Tax-Free Childcare reminder to share with working parents
• Basic employment rights and the importance of keeping your records in order
• Employer FAQs covering background checks, benefits in kind and supporting breastfeeding employees.

Happy summer holidays! I hope you're enjoying the sunshine if you're taking some time off.

One of the employer questions I answer in my July HR Update is: Do I have to let staff work flexibly during the school holidays?

I also take a look at the new unfair dismissal rules for employees hired from 1st July 2026. If you're recruiting now, it's important to review your probation process.

The newsletter also covers:
✔️ What the new Fair Work Agency means for employers
✔️ New trade union workplace access rights from October 2026
✔️ A whistleblowing tribunal case and the lessons for employers
✔️ How Breathe HR software can simplify holiday management
✔️ Answers to employer FAQs, including grievances during probation and managing suspected alcohol problems at work.

One of the topics I explore in my June HR update is men's health in the workplace. While organisations have made great progress in supporting women's health, men's health often receives far less attention. Yet poor mental health, stress and a reluctance to seek support can have a significant impact on both employees and businesses.

The newsletter also covers:
• Supporting employees with caring responsibilities
• Preparing for the new 6-month unfair dismissal rules
• Rising employment tribunal claims
• Government grants for recruiting young workers
• Managing staff during periods of hot weather
• Answers to some of the employer questions I've been asked recently.
