Regulatory Support for SMEs
As your business grows, you’ll often find yourself caught between the cracks of ‘micro business’ and ‘multinational’. Like most Small-Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs), you’ll need a formal HR resource to guide you and keep you compliant with all relevant regulations, but you won’t yet be in a position to justify the massive costs of a full-time HR team. That’s where Aide HR can step in.
Flexible HR Compliance
Our innovative pricing model ensures that you only pay for the HR advice you need, when you need it. No hefty retainers, and no expenditure on work without value; just a great service that bridges the gap between where you are today, and where you’re going to be tomorrow..
Online Employee Handbooks
Just a few years ago, the printed, spiral-bound employee handbook formed the keystone of most corporate employer-employee relationships. It was meant to be a reliable document that inspired trust, encouraged engagement and built loyalty, but in practice it was frequently out of date, gathering dust in a desk drawer and creating more HR problems than it was worth.
These days, online employee handbooks and intranets have eclipsed the old printed media. Online employee handbooks still act as the rulebook that governs your relationship with your staff, but they’re easy to search, they’re always up-to-date and they never require reprinting.
At Aide HR, we’ll show you how to put together an online employee handbook that’s fair, simple and easy to understand. We’ll set you up with a searchable employee intranet that clarifies expectations and reassures employers and employees, freeing you both up to focus on building the business.
Contracts of Employment
The working world is changing, and we need contracts that can keep up with this. As more of our work takes place remotely, flexible working becomes the norm and businesses adapt to match an interconnected global market, we need contracts of employment that mirror the new reality.
Whatever you need your contract to govern, we can advise you on what’s possible and achievable, and show you how to create easy-to-personalise templates that future-proof your business for years to come.
Procedures & Policies
As a business gets bigger, it becomes harder to deal with HR issues reactively. Your HR procedures and policies need to be set out in writing as soon as possible …if you’re underprepared when problems occur, it can become very costly at a point in time where it’s too late to do anything about it.
Set out clear policies and procedures with Aide HR, and not only will you be ready for future HR disputes, but you’ll be surprised at how infrequently they occur. When your policies are clear, fair and transparent, people tend to respond in kind.
Job Descriptions / Grading
Job descriptions and salary grading methodologies can often feel too corporate in a small growing company. It’s tempting to believe that, by writing down a grading formula and role hierarchy, you’re limiting your options for the future and creating unnecessary glass ceilings. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
When job descriptions and grading methods are designed and implemented properly, you transform your ability to grow and innovate. When you set out a clear structure that everyone can rely on, you cut decision-making time and employee dissatisfaction. The rulebook isn’t prescriptive — it’s a handy reference point that MDs can use to shorten the thought process when it comes to hiring and pay reviews, and that employees can use to understand what’s required of them if they wish to progress.
