When many of us think about companies that have made big HR mistakes, we\u2019re quick to jump to the assumption that it\u2019s all the fault of greedy bosses who are more interested in lining their own pockets than doing the right thing by their loyal employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mistakes with administrative processes that result in employees receiving their wages far later than expected? Obviously a ploy so the business can keep hold of their cash for as long as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Employees forced to give up their holiday entitlement because of a last-minute crisis? Probably a crafty trick concocted to make sure that staff are worked to the bone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disgruntled staff who are vocal about their negative experiences at work? Well, there\u2019s no smoke without fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen the stories in the press, often sensationalised for the purpose of selling more newspapers, and we\u2019ve made our own judgements about the moral standing of those in charge. Sometimes though, it isn\u2019t black and white.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not get it twisted\u2026 Legislation exists for a reason, and for the greater good. As an employer, you have a responsibility to make sure that you\u2019re compliant, that you\u2019re implementing best practices, and that you\u2019re doing everything you can to create an environment that\u2019s fair and nurturing for your workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

But mistakes can happen, and even the most dedicated and ethical employers can find themselves facing extremely difficult circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

When your business is growing fast, and you have a million and one things to balance, you can take your eye off the ball. You can overlook important details. And you can find yourself facing circumstances that you never imagined, but which can put your entire business in jeopardy.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this stage, what really matters is what you do next, and how you decide to put things right.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re worried that there could be an HR nightmare on the horizon, then we want to help. We can assess your current circumstances, and help you to create an action plan that gets things back on the right track as quickly as possible, and with the least amount of fuss.<\/span><\/p>\n
