There’s no way around it, we are firmly in the golden age, or maybe even platinum age, of technology.

We love the Christmas season; gingerbread lattes are in the coffee shops, turkey wraps in the cafes and mince pies in the office. And of course, there are parties to attend left, right and centre. However, whilst regular shindigs are fun for employees, the constant partying can pose a problem for employers…

When you think about business strategy, you probably think about board level decisions made by CEOs, MDs, and a bunch of other authoritative abbreviations. But what about HR? 

Employing somebody without putting in place an employee contract is much like jumping from a plane without a parachute. It’s extremely likely to end in tears. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from our experience in HR, it’s that every employee-employer relationship should be underpinned by an employee contract. Without one, you could be setting yourself up for quite the headache (not to mention a financial kick in the nether regions). 

So, why do we believe we’re so different and if we are being honest, better than the rest? Indulge us for a few minutes whilst we sing our own praises: yep, we are not shy about our brilliance!
