HR

Every business is unique, and that means its people’s requirements are unique too. Coupled with a landscape of changing legislation and new challenges, dealing with the area of HR can be a minefield. However, challenge brings opportunity and with the right support, HR can help differentiate your organisation.

HR ADMINISTRATION

HR administration requires a combination of a thorough understanding of legal and regulatory requirements, strong attention to detail and interpersonal skills, and outsourcing HR administration can provide flexibility, scalability, and peace of mind knowing HR compliance is taken care of by a team of experts.

We can support with all aspects of HR administration including HR inbox/employee query management as a direct HR contact. Our expert team will also manage all aspects of onboarding from recruitment process admin, preparing offers/contracts, induction prep and pre-employment checks. Likewise, we can manage all aspects of offboarding including exit interviews. We will also support with employee file management (including letter prep), HR system maintenance, HR annual process management (including salary reviews and performance reviews) and payroll liaison to ensure all HR amendments are captured. All of this will be reported on through regular HR data analysis.

Whilst HR administration may be considered a “basic” area of HR, the tasks involved can play a crucial role in supporting the overall strategy and goals of an organisation.

HR SPECIALIST PROJECTS

In addition to the ongoing support, we know that sometimes unexpected challenges arise and require a quick response. We can provide specialist project expertise in HR and employment law to address this. Typically, these cover:

  • Compliance reporting & ethical audits

HR MANAGEMENT & STRATEGY

Working as an extension of our client’s team, we will support and coach to enable our clients to thrive. This typically involves starting off with an HR review to assess the current position of HR practices, and creating bespoke recommendations. We can then develop this into managing HR processes from end to end which can include implementing relevant training. We can also form the HR strategy in conjunction with business leaders and then look to deliver this over a period of time.

By working with AAB People we can help drive HR excellence and organisational success.
