The Guide looks at the major eventualities in the cycle of an employee, from recruitment through to ending employment.

It covers many areas and eventualities that are unlikely to happen in the course of the cycle of the 'average employee'. However, there would be no point in producing a guide that did not offer practical assistance for the occasions when the employment relationship becomes problematic.

Unfortunately, some employers do not take a proactive approach to the management of HR and employee relations. This can create a situation where these issues get out of control because intervention does not happen until it is too late.

There are many reasons why it is important to manage and influence HR issues.

Impact on:

• the morale of employees
• the performance and productivity of employees.

Poorly managed HR contributes to:

• high levels of staff turnover and sickness absence which leads to skills shortages and unnecessary costs
• costly litigation against the employer.

Dealing with HR issues in a professional and consistent manner increases the ability of the employer to influence aspects of performance at every level in the organisation.

This guide attempts to provide the type of easy to follow advice that allows employers to prevent problems arising in the first place. However, with the best will in the world, that is not always possible, therefore it also provides advice for when things go wrong.
