Our HR and Employee Relations Advice Service provides expert, tailored HR advice and guidance when you need it the most. Our service differs from the more commonly available ‘insurance style’ and process-driven advice services that typify much of the outsourcing market. At its heart, it is consultative – our expert advisors take the time to really listen and tailor the advice according to your own HR policies and practices, whilst grounding guidance in best practice and employment law.

Our HR and Employee Relations Advice service can provide your business with differing levels of expert guidance across a diverse range of common staffing issues including:

“Ultimately, what we’ve been able to achieve through The Curve Group is that they’ve taken away the pain of dealing with the grievance and disciplinary work that the HR business partners had to deal with, allowing them to now focus on dealing with much more strategic and value-adding work and providing a much better service to the business.”

Sara Brazier, previous Head of HR for Ricoh UK

We offer three different tiers of HR and Employee Relations solutions, all of which will enable you to better manage and resolve Employee Relations issues as they happen:

1. A Triage Based Approach enables your more senior managers, HR professionals and regional managers to contact and utilise the HR and Employee Relations advice service.
2. A Case Based Approach provides access for all of your Line Managers to the HR and Employee Relations advice service, however, they would be limited as to the types of issues and cases that they can use the service for guidance and support on.
3. A Full-Service Approach is the most common approach preferred by our customers, as it enables all Line Managers to have full access to the service, through which they can receive support across the complete range of employee-related issues.

All three options will provide your business with expert advice and support which is both in line with your own policies, whilst being grounded in the best practice and employment law.
