HR Services

Employee Relations Case Management

Importantly, we have experience managing various employee relations issues in the public, private, and voluntary/third sectors. These issues include, for example, safeguarding, fraud, and gross misconduct. We have also worked with refugees and asylum seekers, individuals with mental health issues and with stakeholders from junior management to the CEO level.

We provide expert advice and guidance on investigations, grievances, disciplinary actions, organisational reviews, and/or other employee relations cases such as short-term/long-term absence and without-prejudice conversations.

Above all, any advice we give or information we receive is treated with the utmost confidentiality. We handle matters professionally and sensitively, regardless of the case.

Mediation and Facilitated Conversations

We can provide help and support to resolve conflicts or disputes within the workplace.

Importantly, our mediation specialist can help identify issues as early as possible. After that, we will work with you to identify resolutions to minimise disruption and reduce the impact on the individuals involved.

Apex HR can provide bespoke advice and guidance on recruiting, selecting, and onboarding candidates.

This service includes, but is not limited to, creating, amending, editing, and reviewing job descriptions, job advertisements, role criteria, interview questions, and salary benchmarking. All services are in accordance with the UK employment market.

Culture and Engagement

Understanding your employees’ feelings about how you engage with and embed culture is critical to retaining and improving your team’s engagement and commitment.

We can review your current culture and engagement strategy. After this, we’ll work with you to improve your culture, reduce turnover, and improve employee morale.

Finally, we can manage project changes and will do our best to support you and your employees during uncertain and difficult times.
