Core services

  • Contracts & job descriptions

    A contract of employment is an agreement between an employer and employee and is the basis of the employment relationship. A contract 'starts' as soon as an offer of employment is accepted. Starting work proves that you accept the terms and conditions offered by the employer.

    Shaw Gibbs can provide you with employment contract templates and advise you on which terms you should have in which contracts. We can also guide you through the process of varying an existing contract of employment. We can also provide you with job descriptions for all the roles in your organisation.

  • Handbooks & policies

    Introducing HR policies and procedures gives organisations the opportunity to offer a fair and consistent approach to managing their staff, which in turn leads to better communication, productivity and staff retention. We recognise that HR can be confusing and time-consuming, especially when there are constant changes to employment legislation and the threat of an employment tribunal if you don’t follow employment law.

    In consultation with you, we can provide fully compliant, robust and easy to follow employment policies and processes. Where some policies are required by law, others are good for promoting best practice. Shaw Gibbs can work with you to identify the appropriate HR policies and procedures right for your organisation.

Added value services

Managing employee relationships

One of the areas our clients appreciate the most is when we act as a sounding board for general employment issues. We will identify your options and support you in your decision making. We know you are busy, so our goal is to provide you with a quick and responsive service that meets your timeframes.

Recruitment

Getting the right person first time can be a time-consuming and costly process. Whether it be attracting a wide range of strong candidates to an advert, shortlisting candidates or choosing the ideal person for the job, Shaw Gibbs can assist you every step of the way to make the process as smooth and painless as possible.

We can manage the whole recruitment campaign for you, supporting you and your managers with assessments and interviews through to writing all the offer paperwork.

Rewards and benefits

Often employers offer rewards that their employees don’t value, or struggle establishing a functional rewards scheme. We can assess the needs of your employees, provide you with market benchmarking and advise on which reward and benefit plans you should introduce for your budget.

Salary benchmarking can often be a daunting exercise. We can provide you with external market benchmarking to help you plan annual pay reviews and adjust reward packages for new roles within your business.

Employee engagement surveys

Measuring employee engagement levels is important for all organisations, employee engagement surveys help organisations identify and build on the strengths and talents of their people to gain a competitive edge.  

Shaw Gibbs are experienced in designing and implementing robust engagement surveys that gather useful data to help you as the employer.

Mini staff surveys are an incredibly useful tool for parts of the business where there is high staff turnover or other employee issues.
