The Bristol Media Employers’ Hub will be a free service to all members as part of the new membership packages.

We’ve partnered up with one of our preferred legal suppliers, Thring Townsend Lee and Pembertons to offer a comprehensive online service covering everything an MD, director and manager needs to know about employing people and the law.

Mike Bennett, Bristol Media CEO sated:

“We know how important it is to help members get employment issues right – from the start, it’s an area which seems to be constantly changing with new legislation and best practice, so helping members’ to keep safe and ahead of the game will be a huge business benefit.”

Key features:

The Employment Hub is split into three sections, Pre-Employment, Managing Employment and Termination.

Each section contains information you can access and print including policies and procedures, forms and records, step by step guides and a summary of what the law says in relation to that particular topic.

Here’s just a handful of topics the hub covers and how it can help your business:

Pre-Employment:

How to manage recruitment. This section is broken down into the relevant topics around recruitment guidelines, how to attract the applicant, selecting the right person, right through to offering them a job.

Managing Employment:

How to manage staff to minimise your risks – this section covers everything from absence, appraisals, disciplinary, equal opportunities, pay, flexible working, holidays, maternity and paternity rights, part time workers and poor performance.

Termination:

How to manage leavers including compromise agreements, dismissal notice periods, expiry of contracts, redundancy, resignation and retirement.

Mike continued:

“We’re really excited to be able to offer this service . So many of our members are expanding, taking on new staff and growing their businesses and we believe this regularly updated, online resource will be an indispensable tool for any company on the move. It will act as a safety net to ensure that whenever you are faced with an employment or employee challenge you’ve got up to date help and support at the click of a button.”
