How We Do HR: Strengthening businesses with solid HR support

HR support that delivers what matters most

Defining strategy, supporting you as you make difficult decisions, and getting to know you and your people creates a partnership that understands your needs and delivers results for business growth.

Ad Hoc

Spend less time on routine, and more time on the work only lawyers can do. Candid HR frees you from admin so you can think sharper, move faster, and deliver more for your clients.

Retainer

Working on a retainer” means a client pays a service provider an upfront, recurring fee to secure their ongoing access and availability for a specified scope of work or period of time. This arrangement ensures the service provider a steady, predictable income, and guarantees the client priority access to their expertise when needed.

Day Rate

Day-to-day HR tasks, from performance management and attendance to TUPE, payroll, and policy development were proving difficult to manage consistently and effectively.

Services

We can be your flexible and agile HR Business Partner…

Our approach is one of coalition and we will work hard at getting to know your business from the inside out so that we can add most value.

Good old fashioned recruitment and retention using contemporary, cost effective tools and techniques. We help create an attractive employer brand, promote low cost advertising on the most relevant jobs boards and produce a tailored selection process to ensure that our clients see the highest calibre candidates.

Talent

More than just going through the fire drill and on-line training, we create useful and welcoming induction programmes with positive touch points for new recruits every step of the way. This way they are more likely to understand their objectives, pass probation and most importantly, feel part of the team and stay.

Onboarding

We create and deliver contracts, policies, job descriptions and procedures for all workers with your best interests and business priorities at heart, all fully compliant with GDPR and the latest employment legislation.

Legal Documentation

We can be by your side, leading, supporting or providing advice from a distance on grievance and disciplinary situations, redundancy consultations, absence, performance, conduct, pay disputes and can mediate in any given situation as required.

Difficult Conversations

We work with you to deliver transparent, fair pay structures and creative reward systems that recognise strong performance and desired behaviours. Good recognition systems are not just about money and the most effective ones mean something to the individuals concerned. We can help you design and deliver a balanced approach.

Reward and Recognition

We encourage our clients to create opportunities for upwards and sideways career progression and their employees to take control of their own development. Not everyone wants to be a superstar and good foot soldiers should not be underrated. We help find the balance between opportunity, support and information.

Talent Management

Buy-in to your employer brand, values that matter in practice and generating professional pride in employment are all achievable through clear and effective communication. Understanding what people say about your business and why they stay enables us to measure, improve and sustain HR practices and the value they can add to the business.

Engaged and Retained Employees

We can coach, train and mentor your managers, giving them the tools and confidence to be effective people managers. From basic employment law to created highly engaged teams, we can equip managers and team leaders with the practical knowledge they might need in their everyday roles.

Empowering Managers

We believe in treating people like adults and encouraging effective, collaborative communication to set and achieve SMART objectives. Little and often real time feedback is most effective for the individuals concerned and more time efficient for managers than more traditional approaches, but we tailor processes and practices to your business requirements.

Legal Documentation Positive Performance Management

Restructuring, TUPE transfers, takeovers and divestitures can be difficult to navigate. They often leave a legacy of cultural change. We can help you plan the re-structuring strategy, deliver the plan whilst maintaining a solid reputation for looking after those who leave the business and those who remain.
