In any successful business the employment relationship will be underpinned by the framework of employment law. There is a great deal of legislation which employers must comply with and, as this is a dynamic field, it is essential to be fully conversant with the latest developments. Yet, as a business, how do you know just how to comply with requirements which may be quite complex? What are the essentials and what are the “nice to haves”?
HRknowhow can work with you to ensure that you are complying with all current employment legislation; not simply to stay the right side of the law but also to promote a positive employment relationship. This can be done by considering what would be best practice in your organisation and how any changes that are required are introduced efficiently and communicated effectively to your employees.
The most recent key employment legislation, The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations, was introduced in October 2006. Commonly known as the Age Discrimination legislation, it will have wide ranging implications for most employers. For example, you may need to review your recruitment documentation, starting with your application forms. If you offer service related benefits you may need to consider whether any of your benefits should be reviewed in the light of the new regulations.
A review of your current position in the form of a HR Audit could offer you the reassurance you require.
If you would like to discuss this option, or feel that you need some help to ensure that you are complying with current employment legislation, then give us a call.
