Every business has to comply with health & safety legislation although what that involves for different businesses can vary enormously. Just understanding these obligations can be challenging for many business owners - let alone knowing how to go about complying with them.

Depending on the size and nature of your business, at touch HR we offer as much or as little Health & Safety support as you need - whether that is from a consultative or practical approach.

Depending upon employee status, it is necessary to provide 'written terms and conditions of employment for all staff. The main types of employment status are Worker; Employee (& employee shareholder); Self-employed & Contractor; Director; Office holder.

It can sometimes be daunting for employers to simply establish what is the correct status, let alone ensuring they then correctly meet their statutory obligations in providing the correct written terms of employment.

Nevertheless, a statement of written terms is a statutory entitlement for every employee so this is not a choice - it has to be done. These is where touch HR can help. We are able to either review and (if appropriate) update your existing contracts, or we can write them from scratch.

It is not just good practice to ensure relevant HR policies and procedures are adequately communicated to staff - for many policies it is a statutory requirement.

At touch HR we can help you identify which policies you must have in place together with which other policies would be a good idea for your business. We can either write these for you, or, if you already have them in place we can review and (if necessary) update them to ensure they satisfy current legal requirements.

Are you open to seeing how to get the best out of your people? How confident are you that you have the right people in the right roles?
