Investing in the HR basics will ensure your business is compliant and will put your mind at rest.
Whether it’s persistent short-term sickness, or an employee off long term, absence can disruptive.
Dealing with a disciplinary investigation can be incredibly time-consuming and complex.
Despite all the support and guidance possible, there will often be times where an employee will fail to reach the required performance standards.
Often, one of the hardest things you can do as a small business owner is make redundancies. It can feel really personal.
If you are looking to merge your business or acquire another business, TUPE regulations can have a significant impact.
As our business has grown, we have needed to bring in external HR support to help us with recruitment and updating our HR processes. Laura has been invaluable in assisting us with the recruitment process and providing clear guidance on our contracts, and we are now working with her to update our policies and employee handbook. Her advice is always straightforward, reliable, and tailored to our specific needs. She is always available to answer our questions, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us achieve our goals. I am confident that our HR is now in safe hands, and I would highly recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for external HR support.
Laura was a lifesaver when we were dealing with a difficult employee. She helped us discuss our options and make a decision that was best for everyone involved. She also made sure that the resolution was implemented fairly and effectively, and that the employee was satisfied with the outcome. We couldn't have done it without her!
INmuneBio (UK) contracted Laura in 2022 to help us set up all of the systems and procedures necessary to employ staff in the UK. Initially we worked with Laura to help us with some straightforward HR support, such as creating new employment contracts and making existing “US focused” people policies relevant to UK practices. However, it soon became clear that we were in a TUPE situation with two existing staff members and Laura's expertise enabled us to navigate the complex TUPE process efficiently and quickly. She has also been invaluable in strengthening our people administration, and I am confident that we now have up-to-date, best-practice policies in place. These policies are supported by Breathe HR, so the team can manage their holidays, overtime, etc. More recently, Laura led our response to an extremely complex and sensitive employee issue. Under her leadership and with her guidance, we were able to resolve the issue quickly, professionally and to the satisfaction of the company and the member of staff. As the company develops we look forward to maintaining and developing our relationship with Fox HR.
Laura supported my law firm, Frei Solicitors, and carried out her duties as a professional to a very high standard. She is very trustworthy and honest, and I would recommend her services to all potential employers and businesses looking to hire HR support.
Laura has a pragmatic, knowledgeable and straight forward approach. She is a strong HR generalist with excellent communications skills and the adaptability to apply her skills to a range of different client settings. Her positive approach, perceptiveness and humour also mean she is a pleasure to work with.
Laura and I have worked together supporting two mutual clients up to now. She is professional, proactive, giving lots of attention to detail and genuinely cares about her clients. Working with Laura makes my job as a payroll provider very easy, she knows her clients well and is always happy to exchange information and work collaboratively for their benefit. Laura is also genuinely nice, and loves what she does which shines through in each interaction with her, whether in person or by email. Referring my clients to Laura for HR support gives me huge peace of mind, and I will refer any clients that need her to Laura in the future.
Laura's support in bringing on my first team member was invaluable. Her 'microbusiness' package fits my needs perfectly – it's straightforward, cost-effective, and tailored to the needs of my business. What I loved the most was Laura's ability to simplify her advice without sacrificing quality, making it easy to understand. When my new employee started last week, everything was so well-organized – he even commented on it! Her expertise has been invaluable and I'm confident that I will continue to use Laura's services as my team grows.
I am over the moon with the outstanding service provided by Laura and the microbusiness package she offers. As I took on my first employee, I was keen to make sure I did everything properly and Fox HR’s microbusiness package met this need perfectly, and at a very affordable price. Laura prepared a comprehensive contract of employment and a handbook tailored to my business, which gave me the confidence that my new team member would be seamlessly onboarded. Thanks to Laura, I am not only meeting my legal obligations but also setting the stage for a successful and compliant employment journey – for now, as I bring on my first employee, and for the future, too. It’s also reassuring to know that I can rely on Laura for support as my business grows.
Working alongside Laura was a delight! She assisted us in crafting an employment contract for our new apprentice, which was an absolute life-saver. Instead of just providing a one-time document, Laura set us up with a versatile template that we can utilize for future hires, making our lives much easier. What truly impressed me was how she truly grasped the dynamics of our small business. With only one employee on board, I was keen on avoiding drowning in excessive policies. So, Laura tailored a handbook specifically for us, delving into the essentials without overwhelming us with rules. It was precisely what we needed. Laura's approachability and adaptability made the entire process feel like a breeze. And the cherry on top? We have complete faith in her ability to safeguard our business with thorough documentation. In a nutshell, if you're a small business like ours, Laura is your ultimate ally. She's not just about contracts and handbooks; she's all about simplifying your life. Laura is the person to turn to, and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.
We're a small charity with a tight budget, but we needed to put in place HR processes for our remote staff who only work a few hours a week. I spotted Laura's offer to write a contract and policies, and it was too good to pass up. She also helped us implement Breathe HR, which has made managing the team a breeze. We're now able to manage our staff effectively and be perceived as a good employer. The team feels happier too!
