Case Study : New business owner who had taken the decision to recruit his first employee

Clients love our employment packs; they give them the basics they need to get up and running with employees quickly and without fuss or hassle.  

We were approached by a new business owner who had taken the decision to recruit his first employee.  

He had successfully managed large teams in the past and had more recently been working on his own. Business was booming, he was working more than 60 hours week in week out and he decided to take on an employee to help him deliver on his contracts.  He had made a verbal offer of employment, had confirmed a start date but didn’t then know what to do next to get everything in place for the new employee. 

He took the view that he wanted everything to be right first time so asked us for an HR starter pack. 

We quickly got started and had an initial comprehensive call to fully understand the nature of the business, the new role and really get to grips with what he thought success and exceptional performance looked like in the new role.  We talked through all the questions and concerns that he had so that by the time he received his HR starter pack within the week, he was all set to go.

We provided him with his bespoke electronic HR starter pack with everything he needed, in advance of his new employee’s start date.   His HR starter pack contained all ‘new starter’ documents (pre employment medial questionnaire, personal details form, etc), bespoke contract of employment plus contract template for future employees joining the business, ten essential policies and procedures relevant to the role and industry including job descriptions, drug and alcohol, lone working, discipline, grievance, expenses, probation management, managing sickness absence and GDPR compliance a wealth of other information and guidance to get him started.
