Staffing

With the various increase in employee rights over the past decade, one area that most small organisations have not adequately understood is ‘flexible working’ arrangements and the employee’s right to request flexible working and the employers responsibility to show that due consideration has been given to any requests. PCMS can work with your organisation to implement robust processes to ensure that your organisation knows how to deal with flexible working requests.

Contracts of employment or rather lack of them is one of the main contributing factors in tribunal cases. The necessity to ensure all employees are issued with contracts of employment that are compliant with the latest legislation cannot be emphasised enough. If you are unsure and would like to speak to someone regarding any questions you may have around employee contracts then do not hesitate, give us a call today.

Every organisations best asset is its people and the value of a cohesive and productive workforce cannot be underestimated.

Even though organisations will ensure a suitable probationary process when employing new staff, it is usually only after this period has elapsed are troubles noted. It is our experience that it can be useful to first assess the suitability of an applicant by having them work in your organisation on a temporary basis, if things do not work out then there is no liability on either party should they wish to part company. Feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements; we have many years’ experience in finding permanent placements for our clients.

Humans unlike computers and inanimate objects do not fit into neat little boxes, inevitably at some point or another, thing do and will go wrong and this can have an impact on employee performance. Most employers with good processes in place will usually identify such situations and take appropriate action to remedy the situation. There is also a responsibility on the employee to notify their line manager if there is any problem. In the event these situations are not identified, they can have an untoward impact on performance affecting the business.

Organisations should have a framework in place to identify and address any performance issues. PCMS Ltd have over the years developed robust systems to identify issues with employee performance Identification is the first step in what can be a long process, however the longer term effects of not adequately addressing performance issues especially in healthcare can be detrimental.

If you are concerned with the performance of certain departments or individuals within your organisation contact us today so that we can discuss your requirements further.

Facilitation
We can provide expert facilitation for meetings and away days or to help plan strategic objectives for your organisation.
