🤔I decided to change something that hasn’t never been changed in HR!

💡 I’ve been working on something for the last couple of months… and no other HR consultancy in the UK is doing it like we are!

And today I’m finally sharing a small glimpse of it.

It started with a simple thought:

Why are businesses still doing things the same way they have for years when the world of work has moved on?

That question turned into an idea…
and that idea has now grown into something I’m incredibly proud of.

Something different.
Something more bespoke.
Something designed to change how businesses approach the way they guide and support their teams.

I’m not giving everything away just yet but the video below explains why we decided to rethink what has been the same for so long.

🎥 Take a minute to watch it.

And if you’re a business owner who likes working with people who challenge the norm and look for better ways of doing things…

We should probably talk.

Frequent sickness absence is one of the most misunderstood areas in the workplace.

When mental health is involved, the stakes are even higher and getting it wrong can be costly for everyone.

There is a right way to handle it… and a wrong one.

I’ve broken it down simply in this video 👇

If you’re dealing with this right now, this is worth a watch.

If your dealing this within your business why not give us a call for support and guidance !

🚨 UK Employers: This Is Your Final Warning Before April 6th 🚨

In less than ONE MONTH, new legal changes to Parental Leave and SSP take effect.

If your policies and contracts aren’t updated by then:
❌ You are automatically non-compliant
❌ You weaken your defence in employee claims
❌ You risk costly tribunal exposure from day one

💼 Here’s what most HR consultancies are doing right now:
👉 Sending generic updates
👉 Offering templates
👉 Leaving YOU to figure it out

🔥 Here’s what we’ve already done:

Every one of our clients is already:
✔ Fully compliant
✔ Fully updated
✔ Fully protected

⚠️ But here’s the part no one else is talking about…

Compliance alone is NOT enough anymore.

That’s why we’ve created something no other HR consultancy is offering right now:

🛡️ A proactive legal protection model that:
✔ Strengthens your position BEFORE issues arise
✔ Builds evidence and consistency into your processes
✔ Gives you greater legal standing if challenged

This is the difference between:
👉 Having policies
vs
👉 Actually being protected

Why businesses are switching to us:
We’re not tick-box HR.
We’re not “call centre” advice.

We are:
✔ Commercially focused
✔ Straight-talking
✔ Genuinely invested in your business

How we support you:
✔ Full HR retainers
✔ Tribunal Insurance for added protection
✔ Flexible ad hoc support

Right now, you have two choices:

Do nothing and hope you don’t get challenged
Get fully protected before April 6th

🚀 We’re offering a limited number of:
“April Compliance & Protection Reviews”

A fast, no-nonsense review where we:
✔ Identify your risk gaps
✔ Update what’s needed
✔ Show you how to strengthen your legal position

Message me “APRIL” to secure a slot
(or drop me a DM )

Don’t just be compliant. Be protected.

Policies don’t fail because they’re wrong…
They fail because no one connects with them.

We’ve been developing something new for our clients that’s shifting that completely.

More engaging.
More human.
Far more effective.

Let’s just say… it’s not something you’d expect from a typical HR consultancy.

We’re keeping this one fairly close while we build it out.

If you’re ready to move away from static documents and into something far more impactful:

As the founder of Shawthorpe HR and delivering personable HR this is really exciting for us and our customers!!

When the clocks go forward, many businesses only think about losing an hour of sleep.

But from an employer perspective it can also create:

• lateness issues
• payroll discrepancies
• time recording errors
• wellbeing concerns for employees.

In this short video I explain the practical steps UK employers should take to prepare their workforce, aligned with ACAS guidance and good employment practice.

A small bit of preparation can prevent a Monday morning HR headache.

⚖️ A Quiet Employment Law Shift Is Happening in April
Many Employers Haven’t Prepared

Over the next 12 months the UK will see some of the biggest workplace reforms in decades, including:

• The new Fair Work Agency with stronger enforcement powers
• Changes to Statutory Sick Pay eligibility
• Day-one rights for some family leave
• Increased penalties in redundancy consultation failures
• Expanded worker protections

In simple terms: contracts, policies and HR processes may need updating.

At Shawthorpe HR, we are currently helping businesses review:

📄 Employment contracts
📄 Sick pay policies
📄 Family leave policies
📄 Disciplinary and redundancy procedures

All aligned with guidance from ACAS.

💬 I’m offering a small number of complimentary HR compliance reviews for business owners this month.

If you’d like to check whether your documentation is fit for the upcoming changes, just send me a message.

💥 Everyone keeps saying “Just use the Bradford Factor” to manage sickness… but is it really that simple?

In my latest video, I break down:
✔ What the Bradford Factor actually is
✔ Why it can land your business in legal hot water 🚨
✔ Real UK case law where a company lost using it
✔ The good, the bad, and the ugly for employers AND employees
✔ What a truly effective sickness policy looks like

If you’re relying on numbers alone to manage absence, this could save you from a costly mistake.

👀 Watch now and learn why the Bradford Factor isn’t the “magic solution” everyone thinks it is.

Off Sick… But Posting on Social Media?

It’s one of the most common questions I’m asked by employers:

“If someone is off sick, can they be posting on Instagram or out socially?”

The answer isn’t as simple as yes or no.

Being off sick means someone is unfit for work it does not automatically mean they must stay at home.

But… if what’s being posted directly contradicts the reason for absence, it can quickly become a trust issue and potentially a disciplinary matter.

The key?
Process. Fairness. Evidence. Context.

In my latest video, I break down what UK law and ACAS guidance actually say and where employers often get this wrong.

Before reacting emotionally, make sure you understand the legal line.

You know the pattern…
One day off.
Then three days.
Different reason every time.

Individually it looks harmless but together it becomes disruptive.

So what can you legally do under UK law?
And when does it become dismissal territory?

I break down exactly what employers should be doing and what employees need to understand.

🎥 Watch the video before you make the wrong move.

“Business gone quiet… so you let someone go? ⚠️ Careful.”

One employer thought they could dismiss a staff member because “there just wasn’t enough work.”
No redundancy process. No consultation. Just… goodbye.

It nearly turned into a legal nightmare.

🎥 Watch before you make a decision that could cost your business.
