SME business owners and managers are facing unprecedented challenges and these are set to continue for many months to come. The impact of the pandemic has left owners/managers with unanswered questions around how to adapt to the ‘new normal’ whilst avoiding the risk of legal action and reputational damage from employees if they don’t respond in the right way.

The HR Dept Clapham wants to help. We are running free, confidential HR drop-in sessions by zoom. Business owners and managers are invited to book a free session and ask questions about their employment challenges or talk through their concerns. Our aim is to help owners and managers find the right solution or even just to listen where they have no-one else to turn too. We can advise in many areas including:

• Dealing with redundancies in a legally compliant manner
• Performance problems with a staff member
• Managing a remote team
• Using the extended furlough scheme
• Helping employees with their mental health and well-being
• Recruitment during the pandemic
• Training managers to effectively manage
• Meeting health & safety requirements of the lockdown
