The Head of HR Operations, based in Ukraine contacted People Business looking for an HR consultant partner who could support their expansion in the UK with best legally compliant people practices and processes to support their growth ambitions.
How People Business assisted the client
As part of a retained contract People Business initially reviewed existing global policies and employment contracts to ensure they were legally compliant in the UK. We then localised the global employee handbook and supported the Head of HR and Director of the UK with onboarding future talent which included providing guidance on legislative requirements such as right to work checks, references, health and safety including DSE checks.
Our dedicated HR consultants were on hand to respond and support Room8 on any employee related questions and statutory entitlements, providing ongoing HR advice and support to the head office HR department. In this same way they were able to reach out to us on an ‘as needed’ basis with any queries or concerns on people related matters for staff based in the UK.
What the client said
“We have had the privilege of partnering with People Business for our HR consulting needs, and we cannot express enough how invaluable their services have been to our organization. From the outset of our retained contract, People Business demonstrated a profound commitment to excellence and professionalism.
Their comprehensive review of our global policies and employment contracts, and the localizing of our global handbook was carried out with meticulous attention to detail, which was essential in mitigating potential risks and ensuring our operations in the UK were fully aligned with local regulations.
People Business’ support extended beyond documentation, as they provided invaluable guidance to our Head of HR and Director of the UK office during the onboarding process for new talent. Their expertise in legislative requirements was instrumental in ensuring a seamless transition for our new team members.
One of the standout qualities of People Business is their dedication and accessibility. Their HR consultants were always at our disposal, promptly addressing our questions and queries.
In summary, our partnership with People Business has been an exceptional experience.
