Hiring your first employee is a BIG step for any small business.

But before you start advertising the role, there are a few things worth getting right first:

1️⃣ Get clear on the role
What do you actually need this person to do? What will they be responsible for? And what does good performance look like?

2️⃣ Get the paperwork sorted
Contracts, policies and the HR basics might not be the exciting part, but getting them right from day one can save a lot of headaches later.

3️⃣ Have a plan for managing them
Who’s onboarding them? How will you set expectations, give feedback and deal with issues if they come up?

Your first hire can completely change your business — so make sure the foundations are there before they walk through the door. 💜

Your business is growing. Your team is growing. But hiring an HR manager? Maybe you’re not quite there yet. 👀

The good news is… you don’t have to.

Outsourcing your HR means you can get experienced support when you need it, without adding another full-time salary to the payroll.

Whether it’s a tricky employee situation, supporting your managers, getting your policies in order or simply having someone to ask “Am I handling this right?” — you don’t have to figure it all out yourself.

That’s exactly where Core People Solutions comes in. 💜

Your business can have proper HR support, without having an HR department.

“They’re not performing… can’t I just sack them?” 👀

It’s tempting when you’re frustrated with an employee — but poor performance shouldn’t come as a surprise to the person you’re managing.

Before jumping straight to dismissal, ask yourself:

Have they been told clearly what’s expected of them?
Have you actually addressed the performance issue?
Have they had feedback and support?
Have they been given an opportunity to improve?

Good performance management starts long before you reach the point of wanting someone gone.

Have the conversation early. Be clear about expectations. And if you’re unsure how to handle it, get advice before taking action.

Manage it early. Manage it properly. 💜

Hiring your first employee is exciting… but there are a few things I’d get sorted first. 👀

When you’re growing a small business, it can be tempting to think: “I just need another pair of hands.”

But hiring someone means becoming an employer — and there’s a little more to think about than finding the right person.

Before they start, make sure you’re clear on:

💜 What you actually need them to do
💜 The paperwork and essentials you need in place
💜 How you’re going to onboard, manage and support them

Getting these foundations right from the beginning can save a LOT of confusion (and headaches 😅) later on.

And if you’re thinking about hiring your first employee but have no idea where to start, Core People Solutions can help you get everything in place.

I didn’t leave HR because I’d fallen out of love with it. Quite the opposite. 💜

I just knew there was another way of doing it.

One that felt less corporate, less complicated and a lot more human.

I wanted to create HR support where small business owners could ask a question without feeling like they needed a dictionary to understand the answer — and get support before everything hits the fan.

So I created Core People Solutions. 💜

Practical people support. No unnecessary jargon. No judgement.

Something new is coming… 👀💜

Meet Core People Solutions.

I’m Chanelle, a CIPD-qualified HR professional, and after years of working in HR, I decided it was time to do things a little differently.

I don’t believe HR should feel complicated, overly corporate or like something you only think about when things go wrong. I believe good HR should be practical, straightforward and actually helpful.

Core People Solutions is here to support small and growing businesses with the people side of running a business — from hiring your first employee and getting your contracts and policies sorted, to supporting managers and navigating those “I have absolutely no idea how to handle this” moments. 😅

Less stress. Less confusion. More practical people support.

We’re just getting started… 💜

Spotting a performance issue and knowing what to do about it are two very different things. Here's a simple framework: 📊

Document early — keep a record of concerns as they arise, not after the fact.
Have the conversation — don't avoid it. Address concerns early and constructively.
Set clear expectations — agree what 'good' looks like and give the employee a fair chance.
Follow a process — informal first, then formal if needed. Consistency is key.

Did you know employees have the legal right to a written statement of employment from day one? 📝

Yet many small businesses are still operating without compliant contracts, leaving themselves open to costly disputes.

A well drafted contract isn't just about legal compliance. It sets clear expectations, protects both parties, and gives your team confidence from the start.
