I am Caroline, founder of Grounded Human Resources Limited, a friendly and approachable HR Consultancy, based in York, designed to support and empower business owners. We know that when you are running a small business you can get close to your employees, which can make it difficult to challenge things you aren’t happy about and make difficult decisions. That’s why we support you by using compassionate HR. We believe that people should be treated with respect and compassion. We know that this gets the best out of people and we know that it can help you sleep at night when you have had to make a tough decision regarding your team.
We also believe that HR should be straightforward and down to earth. We want HR to be easy to implement and jargon-free as much as possible. We want to help you, not increase your workload.
We like to work with you to understand the needs and demands of your business, so we can support you in the best way possible. We can help you with: • Contracts of Employment • Employee Handbooks • Recruitment • People issues; disciplinaries, poor performance, grievances, sickness, redundancy • Independent Investigations • Job Descriptions and Job Evaluation
All the advice and documentation we provide is in line with Employment Law and the CIPD’s (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) current best practice.
