I believe HR is much more then quoting employment legislation and informing companies of the cost of getting it wrong. It is about adding value to a company through their people which are their greatest asset. It’s essential to understand a company’s needs when offering advice and support; making sure it is the right fit for the business and providing options, not one size fits all.Having over 10 years experience in HR within both the public and private sectors and 6 years experience in Operations Management, Farsight HR has the ability to work with companies to understand their needs and to positively contribute to their short to long term goals.Specialties: Support with grievance, discipline, absence management, change management restructure / redundancy & TUPE.Employee Handbooks, policies, procedures and contracts of employment.Mediation & conflict resolution.Recruitment, interview support, job descriptions, assessment centres & advert writing.Employment tribunal support, bundle preparation, liaising with the tribunal service and Acas for settlement.Trade union negotiation & employment law advice.
