Unlock the Full Potential of Your Workforce with Lloyd Dowson’s HR Services

Running a business with no HR department, but in need of the HR services one would offer? No problem, as Lloyd Dowson is here to take care of all your HR support needs. 

With our complete range of HR services, we can ensure your business remains fully compliant with ongoing changes to current legislation and employment law.

What Are HR Support Services?

Human Resources support services assist you with managing the employee life cycle within a fast-changing business environment. Typically outsourced to a third party company – like ourselves – these services are designed not just to ensure compliance, but also to protect employee rights and foster company loyalty.

HR plays a central role in the development of a supportive culture within any organisation. Performance management, learning and development, employee wellbeing and recruitment are all essential functions dealt with by our HR support team.

How Flexible Can HR Support Services Be?

One of the main benefits for outsourcing HR support is its cost effective nature. Running your own Human Resources department can be extremely expensive, however, when outsourcing, you get the flexibility of being able to pick and choose the services you want, only paying for what you use.

Furthermore, you will have access to our experienced HR professionals for up to date information and advice on current legislation.

Some of the human resources services and support we offer at Lloyd Dowson include:

Contracts of Employment

Since 6 April 2020, both workers and employees have been entitled to receive written particulars from the first day of their contract. Previously this was a right that only applied to employees and employers had two months in which to fulfill the obligation.

Whether you require basic or more complicated bespoke contracts, our experienced HR support team can provide you with employment documents tailored to meet your needs.

Do your employees know what is expected of them? A correct job description will provide clear and precise details of the duties and responsibilities for each role within your organisation, so everyone is clear about the expectations of the position they are in.

Employee Handbook and Policy Writing

An employee handbook is an essential document that sets out your policies, procedures and expectations and is A fundamental tool for avoiding possible future conflict. Defining your workplace policies allows for complete transparency between you and your employees. Lloyd Dowson’s HR Support services can provide assistance in establishing and documenting policies, ensuring they remain clear and concise.

Uncertain you’ve got the relevant documentation in place? Let our HR experts evaluate your current documentation and advise you of areas that you may wish to adjust or improve.
