"Commercial Hub has the rare ability of providing a pragmatic solution to challenging business and HR issues. I have always found the advice to be of excellent value and delivered in a timely manner."

David Webber, CEO, PatSystems

"Commercial Hub has helped me to sleep at night! - Employment law and HR issues can be a real headache for small businesses but I am confident that by following her advice we will not fall foul of ever changing legislation. In addition to providing us with a comprehensive staff handbook and employment contract wording, which helps us present a professional image to both existing and potential employees, she has already helped us to manage a staff performance issue in a way that protects the business from any accusations of wrongful process.

They are always quick to react to any questions and goes the extra mile rather than doing the minimum you might expect. I would highly recommend her for her experience, energy and the value for money that her service represents."

Full Profile : For most companies, the luxury of a HR dept is not a realistic possibility. With qualified HR Managers commanding salaries up to £35K, most businesses go without. However, without policies, procedures and resource to keep up to date with the massive amount of employment law released each year, your business is at risk. Employers are guilty until proven innocent and the smallest non compliant area of a business can be exploited, and all too often is. We work with employers to update written statements and employee handbooks regularly, installing a HR System that allows you to manage your staff from recruitment to leaving. 24 hour legal advice and a full personnel letter writing service is also part of our remit, all of which keeps you compliant. However, should you be called to a Tribunal, we place a Barrister in court for you at no extra cost. In addition to these services, 2 unique things make us stand out from the competition. 1. There are no Call Centres! You get a named HR Manager as a contact, whom you speak to every time you need help. In this way, they know your business and can advise you far better. 2. Our HR services are on a pay as you go basis, paid monthly via standing order, with no contracts whatsoever required. As long as your situation stays the same, you continue to pay. Should you however, need to walk away, you can cancel the standing order with no quibble from us. We cater for all businesses from 1 employee to 500 and look forward to hearing from you.
