What is HR compliance?
It can be hard to know exactly what you need to have in place to hire your first employee, and as your organisation grows you can find yourself having to deal with more and more HR and workforce matters and not knowing if your approach is compliant with employment law or good practice.
At Roots HR we provide affordable, accessible and high-quality HR support help you navigate these situations and minimise people management risks. Our approach is to enable individuals to learn through taking this advice and from the experience of implementing it, so managers are better able to manage people and people management is inclusive, fair and lawful and feels “normal” to your workforce.
The benefits of ensuring HR compliance
Working with Roots HR to help ensure people management is inclusive, fair and lawful and feels “normal” to your workforce means that people management risks are minimised in your organisation.
Employees, workers and volunteers are retained so service delivery is stable and recruitment costs are minimised and key talent is retained within the sector. Unnecessary tribunal costs are minimised and avoided, meaning you retain more of your income for service delivery and beneficiaries.
