Can I be honest with you for a second? π
In over 15 years working in HR, the businesses that end up in the most stressful, expensive situations are almost never the ones who did something dramatically wrong.
They're the ones who just⦠didn't quite get the basics in place.
β A contract they downloaded for free and never updated
β Policies that were written years ago and forgotten about
β No real probationary process β so issues were never properly managed
β An employee handbook that doesn't actually reflect how the business works
These things feel small, until they don't.
I've helped business owners save over Β£1 million in legal fees and tribunal claims. And almost every time, it came down to having the right documentation in place.
If you've been meaning to get your HR paperwork sorted, or you're genuinely not sure if what you have is up to scratch β this is your nudge. π
