HR processes are progressing well, with significant work underway to create new templates, streamline payroll management, and enhance onboarding support.
In addition to these improvements, we have started managing the full spectrum of HR administration, including onboarding and offboarding processes, absence management, and oversight of HR mailboxes. These measures are designed to ensure smoother operations and improved efficiency.

November 2025
November has been another highly productive month for our team, with support provided across a wide range of employee relations matters. Throughout the month, we assisted with absence management, disciplinary and probation processes, OH reviews, investigations, and redundancy support. In addition, we offered guidance on flexible working arrangements, pay structures, policy development, and overall employee welfare.
Our work this month has involved careful consultation and tailored support to ensure that organisations are able to navigate complex people challenges effectively and fairly. From handling sensitive investigations to advising on policy updates, our team has continued to provide practical solutions that support both employees and leadership teams.
It has been a busy month, but one that highlights the positive impact of focused and proactive ER support. We remain committed to helping organisations maintain strong, compliant, and people-focused workplaces.
If your organisation could benefit from expert guidance on employee relations, absence management, policy development, or workplace investigations, our team is here to help. Get in touch today to find out how we can support your people and business objectives.

November 2025
We continue to provide marketing support services, including social media management, helping organisations build and maintain a strong online presence. Although this is a relatively new service for our team, it has already been very well received by clients, demonstrating the value of expert, consistent social media support.
From content planning to engagement strategies, we aim to make sure your brand stands out and connects effectively with your audience. Find out more about how we can support your marketing here – link to marketing services page.
