Empowering you and
keeping you informed

We provide you with up the key HR policies that you need to have to face the most frequent employment relation matters. These are fully aligned with the best practices laid out in ACAS’ Code of Practice, but also fully up to date with the latest employment laws, thanks to our partnership with Clyde & Co. Your readiness is then enhanced through the practical and hands-on training we deliver to our clients. And most of these trainings are delivered through ACAS.

We are your partner and remain
with you every step of the way

We get involved and stay engaged from the first signs of an issue, grievance, disciplinary or employee performance issue. We remain engaged through the “3 loops of resolution”: through early intervention, we work with you to address the matter before it festers, we will make active use of ACAS’ early conciliation process, and will go to the tribunal when that’s the last resort available or left. We are consulting with you all the way and you benefit from the hands-on, no non-sense approach of our highly experienced staff.

Complete Financial Protection

Your Peace of Mind is completed with the comprehensive financial protection we provide you through an Employment Practice Liability insurance policy with limits available up to £10,000,000 to pay not only for legal expenses, but also for awards and settlements, and even for training commitments you may make as part of a settlement.

Some interesting facts & figures

Is it worth the risk not being protected?

Employment relations claims are painful. They are so time-consuming to deal with that they drain managers’ time. They can also affect team morale. They affect reputation. And they can cost a lot of money!

Below are some statistics from the latest official figures available. For instance, in the 1 year period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013: 191,541 claims went to the Employment Tribunal where some awards have gone well above the statutory cap of £74,200 for an unfair dismissal claim, such as discrimination, whistleblowing or Health and Safety issues.

And Employers are rarely awarded costs! Only 522 employers out of 191,541 tribunal claims got money towards their legal costs!

Since these statistics have been published, new rules have come into play (introduction of compulsory Acas early conciliation process and introduction of tribunal fees) have resulted in a drop in matters that reach tribunals. But that is the tip of the iceberg – the underlying matters are still there. They just do not surface at tribunal level, but employee grievances and staff performance issues still have to be dealt with.
