Employee Meetings
Our team of specialists have a proven track record holding disciplinary and grievance meetings. Employee procedures can be costly in terms of management time and your valuable resources.
By instructing our team, we can take over the process for you, providing you with peace of mind that the process is undertaken thoroughly and with the production of professionally written reports.
Our team have a strong background in conducting investigations, including those requiring translators, multi-phase and covering many issues.
Our processes will enable you to concentrate on running your business while our team deal with employee matters for you.
Documentation
Whether you require a handbook review, additional policies or a suite of new documentation, we can provide you with all your employee documentation needs including employment contracts, policies and procedures.
In addition, we can undertake onsite training for you and your managers on the implementation of procedures.
Mediation
In our experience many issues that end up in tribunal could have been avoided with early intervention. Tribunals typically occur when individuals have become entrenched and relationships are completely broken.
Mediation could mean the difference between employees resolving their differences and your workforce being a productive environment, or a tribunal to decide on the issues between two employees who often have lost sight of where the dispute started.
TUPE Process
Are you buying or selling a business? Often companies don’t consider the TUPE implications until it is too late to avoid liability. This could include the receipt of unexpected employees (and the issues that can transfer with them), or failure to consult with a financial penalty.
Our team can help you plan for employee transfers, analyse employee liability information or manage a consultation process for you.
We can also advise on integrating new team members and help you resolve any problems that arise from introducing a new workforce.
Redundancy Procedures
Redundancy, whether brought about through business challenges or due to strategic restructure, can be a stressful process.
The HR Anchor team can assist you from the moment redundancy or restructure is considered, from strategy, planning and your business case to preparing for consultation, as well as undertaking any meetings for you.
If you would prefer to run the process yourself we can provide draft letters, meeting agendas and advise in relation to criteria and pool selection.

Our team of employment solicitors can robustly defend claims brought against you, with a commercial approach but with technical expertise at the core of the work we do.
Settlement Agreements
On occasion the most commercial approach for a business is to enter into a settlement agreement with an employee. Settlement Agreements require careful drafting and tailoring to the specific circumstance.
In addition, our team can provide experienced negotiators to ensure that a commercial deal is reached with terms that protect your business.
HR Strategy & Training
Planning and preparation are key to successful HR and employee relations within your business. Our team can provide HR Strategy planning, working with you and your management team to ensure that your business plan is prepared for the future.
Economic uncertainty and changes in the markets can have a huge impact on your business and our specialists are in place and ready to help you weather any storm.
In addition, our programme of training will ensure that your staff not only know your policies and procedures, but are training to use and apply them. Our trainers are also able to implement training on legislation updates, new case law and best practice.
Investigations
Our team of investigators are highly experienced at dealing with all manner of workplace investigations. They have dealt with matters ranging from extremely serious and sensitive sexual harassment claims requiring discretion and sensitivity, to abuse of power, bullying and general complaints.
Having external and independent investigators not only frees up management time, it also reduces the likelihood of criticism for a biased investigation and reassures employees that their complaint is being taken seriously.
Our investigators produce detailed reports following collation of evidence, interviews and analysis of the complaint provided. We can provide either a sole investigator or a team to deal with your matter.
We can take a complicated and distressing matter that would take months of management time, expense and likely inflame matters with the affected staff and turn it into the presentation of a professionally drafted report for your company to take well informed decisions.
Subject to the number of issues and complexity, investigations can typically be completed in 2 weeks.
