Advice Service

There has been a big increase in the number of employees taking their employers to Employment Tribunal. Prevention is always better than cure and to ensure that companies follow legislation and policy. We are able to provide companies with an advice service on an helpdesk or retained service approach. The advice to managers is practical and templates can be provided to ensure consistency and support. We can also help you design, implement and analyse Staff Satisfaction Surveys to help you understand any issues your staff may have. It is crucial for employers to give well-rationalised consideration to the disciplinary sanction and to get the balance right, as the outcome must fall within a range of reasonable responses to limit the risk of future repercussions. It is often said that staff are the most important asset of a business. Good staff are essential to customer service, productivity and reputation. It is therefore important to make sure that your business can attract and retain talented members of staff, and maximise their contribution to it. Employment legislation is constantly changing, and employers can all too easily find themselves held back by a tide of seemingly endless red tape. We can provide an “HR Health Check” to ensure your compliance with current employment legislation. Whether you are a new business looking to take on your first member of staff, or an established firm looking to merge or even downsize, our HR services can help. EMDS can provide expert HR advice on an ongoing or ad-hoc basis depending on your specific needs. We also offer access to the latest techniques in the field of HR, designed to help you to get the best from your employees.
