HR Advisory Solutions

Welcome to HR Advisory Solution, just one of the divisions within the Elizabeth Michael Group created to support you, our valued clients.

This division was born out of the many client conversations that we have had over the years' that Elizabeth Michael has been supporting Nottingham employers.

Naturally our clients constantly desire to get the most out of their people whilst tackling the raft of legislation that continually arrives unannounced without interruption; legislation that we are not absolutely sure we understand, but that we know we would be foolish to ignore.

So what do you do? Who do you listen to? Who can you find, who will explain everything in layman terms and relate it to your business?

Well, we feel at Elizabeth Michael that we may have the answer at hand.

Headed up by Steve Richardson who has over thirty years experience as an HR Manager in a blue chip organisation, we are able to offer specific advice, based on the requests for assistance and the information that you provide to us.

So much more of course can be achieved by meeting with you in person, rather than relying on the telephone or email, using our professional consultancy services to enable us to gain a thorough understanding of your requirements and then propose solutions and advice to help you to manage your situation appropriately.

Our aim is to advise you on the implications and ramifications and the best way for you to move forward, dealing with the existing issue not just in isolation but as part of a bigger picture.

We specialise in practicality. We understand that people management issues need to be resolved effectively and with minimum disruption to the business.

We balance your business needs with the demands of legislation, risk and people relationships to ensure the most pragmatic solutions and outcomes.

While your business and your HR (or Personnel) administration may work and perform very well, there will be other times when you face complex challenges perhaps requiring skills, knowledge and expertise that are not available internally.

Predicting the challenges is not easy and you may need help on an ad hoc basis, or perhaps due to a peak in workload.

Or maybe faced with particular issues, you need help on a regular basis for a period of time.

That's exactly where Elizabeth Michael can help - supporting and advising you, guiding you through demanding HR challenges.

We allow you to get on with running your business and we provide you with the HR solutions you need in the most efficient and expedient way possible.

Whatever your needs, we provide business bespoke policies, documents and procedures to suit you, as well as hands on support and consultancy.

For start up companies we can also provide you with the necessary documents and advice to help you to comply with legislation.

We can compile an essential package of documents for businesses venturing into the world of employing people. This 'starter pack' includes:

• Written statement of Terms and Conditions of Employment
• Job offer letter plus relevant forms
• Disciplinary policy and procedure
• Grievance policy and procedure
• Health and safety policy and procedure

For growing companies we can design documents reflecting a more proactive approach and applying best practice.
Our most popular policies and procedures for growing businesses include:

• Sickness absence
• Maternity and paternity
• Parental leave
• Disciplinary
• Grievance
• Flexible working
• IT / email / Internet
• Time-off
• Equal opportunities

All documents reflect the latest employment law and will be tailored to your company's specific needs.
Please feel free to contact us with regards to any issue or tentative enquiry you may have and we will be delighted to provide you with guidance and assistance.
