Tips for putting solid HR Foundations in place in your business with Johanna Scullion.

In the podcast we will be discussing the foundations small business owners need to put in place to a) honour their legal compliance duties as an employer and b) give them peace of mind that they have proper HR practices in place. Top tips for small business owners to put solid HR foundations in place: Understand your starting point – you already have a “contract of employment” in place even if you don’t think you do. Take control and put a “written agreement / contract” in place asap – ALL EMPLOYEES MUST have a “principal statement of main terms and conditions of employment” in place from day of employment if you plan to employ them for longer than a month.  I can discuss the “Key clauses” you must include. Put a “non-contractual” employee handbook in place that contains the “rules & standards” of your business.  This can grow and expand with your business. The key HR policies all small businesses should have in place – including my number 1 MUST HAVE policy for all small business owners. The best HR is Informal HR – i.e. how to have challenging conversations with staff, when they are under-performing or not reaching your standards (nip it in the bud quickly).  Ask me about “the sandwich”. I can't wait for you all to listen and make changes in your business which will protect you and your employees straight away.
