HR Dept Swindon sees growth amidst increased demand

Swindon’s HR Dept has hit the ground running in the New Year, as employers reach out for guidance on managing staff issues.

Against the backdrop of the recently approved Employment Rights Act, which brings changes to employment rights, more businesses are seeking expert support.

The HR Dept team has doubled in size in the past 18 months with 20 employees across its Swindon and London offices and further plans for expansion on the horizon.

Peter Jones, Managing Director, said, “We have grown in response to a huge growth in the number of enquiries we receive, and also because of their complexity. Business owners are looking for expert advice, as they rightly no longer feel confident in navigating increasingly complex legislation.”

Even in the run-up to Christmas, the team were inundated with enquiries, ranging from those wanting advice on HR compliance to complex issues around redundancies and dismissal.

Helen Imbusi, Head of HR, added, “In most cases, employers are trying to do the right thing and have started down the route of, for example, redundancy or dismissal, but HR is so complicated they have come unstuck. That’s where we come in, as we can unpick what has been done, and set the employer on the right course.”

For support with HR issues, including complying with the new Employment Rights Act, and for more information about the HR Dept Swindon, North Wiltshire and East Cotswolds, visit the HR Dept website, email Helen Imbusi or call 01793 683 398.
