Recruiting, retaining & releasing

• Save time and money finding new staff
• Get the best employees for a competitive edge
• Dismissal of any employee needs a set process to be followed, irrelevant of length of service

Finding great staff is difficult enough. And every time you hire or fire you open yourself up to the possibility of breaking the law. Let Eden HR take away the risk and help you find the best people

Joining:

The average cost of recruiting a new member of staff is £5,500 not including indirect costs of management time and staff turnover. Therefore, with recruitment costs so high it is vital to your business that you get it right first time.

Local Newspapers are proven to be the best place to advertise a job position and often is one of the cheapest. However to achieve the best candidate you need to advertise the position correctly. Eden HR Consulting can help you put together a job description which is then reflected
in the job advert, which is showing your Company in the most positive way as well as protecting you against discrimination
claims.

Whilst interviews remain the most popular selection method, if you want to get the best possible candidate for the role, assessment centres are statistically by far the most accurate. An assessment centre involves candidates working through a combination of group exercises, behavioural interviews and tests specifically designed to replicate key components of the
position that they are applying for. This can be done at a comparable rate to paying a recruitment agency – it can clearly be
seen that this has more value attached to it!

Eden HR can assist with managing the whole recruitment process, pre-employment checks; legal requirement inductions
through to probation review; reducing the risk of a miss-hire or possible tribunals.

Leaving:

Terminating an employment contract can be costly and affect your business if done incorrectly. Dismissal is the key matter
cited in the majority of claims handled by employment tribunals, and therefore is one of the organisation’s greatest risk areas. With the introduction of minimum statutory procedures to be followed when disciplining or dismissing an employee it is not as straight forward as it used to be (see People and Policies page). The average award for unfair dismissal is over £7,000, not
taking into account solicitors costs and management time – can you afford not to handle dismissals correctly?
