If it all seems a little too much, after all you’re a specialist in what you do and not in HR, we’re happy to help. If you want us to create your templates for you for example, you can upgrade to the DIY kit and we will discount the cost of the workbook from our hourly fee.
Alternatively, we can take all of this off your hands. Upgrade to our HR Start Up Kit, where we do all of the hard work for you (we’ll even deduct the cost of any DIY kits you’ve purchased from the upgrade price). Find out more here.
“In terms of usability the DIY HR Kit is brilliant, and I found the explanations of the law as an employer in the handbook particularly useful. I have no background in HR at all and I felt much better educated about my employee's rights after reading through it.”
