Health Check & Recommendations
Running a small business is not easy! After juggling day-to-day operations and dealing with all the business admin, it’s easy for HR tasks to fall to the bottom of the to-do list. That’s where an HR health check comes in – think of it as a wellness check for your workplace.
Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
- Keeping up with employment laws can feel like another unnecessary admin task, but ignoring them isn’t an option. An wellness check will spot compliance issues before they become costly headaches. Peace of mind? Check!
- Your people are your biggest asset. A health check ensures your policies are fair, clear, and competitive, so your employees feel valued and motivated to stick around for the long haul.
- Your business is unique, and your HR strategy should reflect that. A health check makes sure your policies and processes support your vision and help your team thrive.
Contract & Policy Library Refresh
HR policies might seem like just another pile of paperwork, but they’re actually one of the most valuable tools for running a smooth, successful business. You couldnt manage a football team to success without guidelines and rules right ?
Here’s why they’re a must-have:
- HR policies spell out what’s expected from employees and what they can expect from you. Clear guidelines reduce misunderstandings and keep everyone on the same page, making for a more harmonious workplace.
- With policies in place, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time a situation arises. They provide clear guidance, saving you time and helping you make informed decisions under pressure. As your business grows, having solid HR policies ensures that your processes are scalable.
- HR policies act as a safety net. They provide clear procedures for handling disputes, grievances, or misconduct, helping you address issues quickly and fairly while protecting your business interests.
Health & Safety
Health and safety isn’t just about legal requirements—Apart from just being the ‘right’ thing to do… Health & Safety can have a MASSIVE impact on the success of your business, and your reputation as an employer. Here’s why it’s so crucial:
- A strong Health & Safety approach minimizes risks, prevents workplace injuries, and ensures your team can work in a safe, secure environment.
- Accidents and illnesses can be expensive. Beyond medical costs and compensation claims, they can disrupt productivity and increase insurance premiums. A proactive safety culture helps avoid these financial burdens.
- Ignoring Health & Safety can lead to hefty fines, legal action, or even the closure of your business.
PS. It doesn’t always have to be super complicated.

Learning & Development
A business only really ever employs staff to help the business deliver services and make profit !
Investing in learning is crucial because it directly impacts growth, adaptability, and competitiveness. Here’s why:
- Continuous learning helps SMEs keep up with industry trends, emerging technologies, and evolving customer expectations. Encouraging learning fosters creativity and innovation, enabling SMEs to develop unique solutions and differentiate themselves from competitors.
- Investing in employee training improves productivity, efficiency, and job satisfaction, reducing turnover and building a loyal workforce. A well-trained team can adapt to new challenges, ensuring the business operates smoothly in a dynamic environment. Learning equips businesses with the tools to navigate challenges like economic downturns, supply chain disruptions, or competitive pressures.
- There is some training you just have to do ! Health & Safety for example.
Employee Engagement, Performance & Progression
If you knew, or even just suspected that a 5% increase in employee satisfaction would mean a 5% increase on your bottom line, would you spend time and money on it?
Of course you would. And you would be right. It is proven that happy employees are more productive and improve customer satisfaction which drives repeat business.
A little bit of structure and encouragement goes a long way 🙂
“Dawn prepared for each meeting and chaired each one and sent detailed notes afterwards. She helped to navigate difficult conversations well. It was invaluable to have an expert in the room, professionally leading the discussion and setting out actions as required. Dawn helped to deliver the exact outcome I wanted- in a timely way. I will absolutely ask Dawn to help me with any HR issues going forward. I highly recommend Aurora HR.”
