Dunwoody HR Consulting’s Post

Are you still using spreadsheets to manage your staff’s details? Do you wonder if someone is having regular time off for sickness but can’t see the pattern or don’t have the time to investigate it? Were there too many people off at the same time last year and you struggled to manage their holidays? If so, Breathe is the one for you. It is my favourite HR software for managing your people and all that goes with it. Give it a go with the free trial or give me a call and I can talk you through it – I will oversee and manage it all for you so you won’t have these sort of things on your mind and will know where all their data is. Focus on your business and I will focus on this for you. kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

You may have seen our socials on the February challenge - Go the extra mile. Asking everyone to do something every day for February. So I decided to do tap for 29 days. So what is Tapping? It is also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. I learnt the technique a couple of years ago from my amazing friend Jacqueline Duffy but never really did it until late last year when I started listening to The Tapping Solution app and following brother and sister, Nick and Jessica Ortner but I have been very hit and miss. Tapping regulates the nervous system and boosts the immune system and it is a great way to calm the nervous system. More to come on this over the next few weeks. So I am going to tap every day - you can focus on different areas but I am going to specifically focus on my health and sleep. I am hoping that by doing it everyday, it will form into a habit and become a part of my normal day. #gotheextramile

Another common question I get asked. Yes, it is common for you to pay towards these expenses. Normally it is a set amount of money which is agreed within the settlement agreement. It is commonly around £350 to £500 but can depend on the seniority of the employee and complexities. kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

Thank you Jimmy for this. I pride myself on being the person that a CEO can speak to. It can be a lonely job at the top so really appreciate that I have helped. Been working with Pasture for Life for about 18 months having been referred to him by the lovely @lucy MacLennon from Organic Research Centre. Always great to have recommendations from present clients to new clients and been a great opportunity to watch Pasture for Life grow. And another happy Breathe client! kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

Lovely quote here. So often in society we are conditioned to believe that everything must be perfect and we must be our best selves all of the time. Well we know that this is impossible and trying to live up to it, just adds stress into our worlds and is totally unrealistic. Life is 50/50 so let’s embrace that and strive to wake up each day to be the best version of ourselves for that day. kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

GDPR – the word that gave us all shivers a few years ago when everything changed! Well it is still here and not going anywhere – the great news is that you don’t have to think about it when you have Breathe software installed so if you are interested in making that side of your life easier – and many other benefits with Breathe, give me a call. kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

Keep an eye on my social media over the next few weeks – I’m going to share some inspirational quotes with you to pass onto your employees. Let’s get ourselves through this cold January and get the year going with a bang! kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

I thought I’d celebrate January a bit this year by providing the answers to some of the most common questions I get asked as an HR professional. I’ll answer them here, but if you still need advice you know where I am! In the case of a settlement agreement (which used to be called a compromise agreement) it is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions under which an employer and employee agree to resolve a dispute or a potential legal claim. For this reason, your employee will have to meet with a solicitor to ensure that they understand what is included in the agreement particularly as the agreement often includes a clause where one or both parties agree not to pursue any further legal action. kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing

After the frenzy of Christmas socialising, January often makes us feel like retreating into our homes and less inclined to socialise. However, this can bring about feelings of loneliness and isolation, making the month feel much more bleak and uninspiring. How about having a January social in your workplace? It doesn’t necessarily need to involve drinking (for those doing dry January); it could be pasta making (which I can definitely vouch for!) lunch together once a week, cooking together, a walk or anything that brings people together! Try it and let me know how you get on! kellie@dunwoodyhrconsulting.com #hrconsultants #hrconsultancy #humanresourcesmanager #humanresourcesprofessional #humanresourcesonline #hrconsultant #humanresourcemanagement #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #humanresourcesconsulting #humanresourceslife #dunwoodyhr #hr #hroutsourcing
