Navigating the tightrope of restrictive covenants with a former employer can feel like defusing a bomb. One wrong move, and your new recruitment business could face serious repercussions. Yet, these agreements are not insurmountable barriers. Understanding their nuances can transform them from obstacles to stepping stones. Here's a framework that turns these legal bindings into launchpads for start-up success. First, recognise the intent behind restrictive covenants. They protect businesses, not imprison talent. This perspective shift is crucial. ✅ Map out the specific terms, know what's off-limits ✅ Then, focus on what you can do - Instead of dwelling on restrictions, channel your energy into new areas of growth that are not covered by the covenants. ✅ Understand the Spirit of the Agreement - It's not just about the letter of the law. Grasping the underlying concerns can open up negotiation opportunities. ✅ Don't navigate it alone, seek legal advice early. ✅ Communicate openly with your former employer at the right time as transparency builds trust. ✅ Negotiate with Empathy - Approach your former employer with understanding, not antagonism. This can lead to more favourable terms. ✅ Innovate within the boundaries, restrictions can spark creativity. The more you understand your covenants, the better you can work within or around them, and transition smoothly - remember knowledge is power. The big takeaway? Restrictive covenants need not be career handcuffs. With the right approach, they can guide your recruitment start up to innovate and thrive. Believe in the power of preparation and perspective!! They can turn potential pitfalls into opportunities for growth. What strategies have you found effective in dealing with restrictive covenants? Share your experiences, I'd love to hear them!

The government is looking at a mandatory "due diligence" system for businesses using umbrella companies. Sounds good, right? But will due diligence be enough, and will it happen fast enough? It's been a whole year since the consultation started.  The Recruitment & Employment Confederation is fighting for a balanced approach. Businesses need reasonable due diligence, but we also need to hold non-compliant umbrella companies accountable.  The responsibility shouldn't fall on businesses who have no control over those umbrellas - but the good news is that the government wants to keep talking to the recruitment industry about this crucial topic.  Is due diligence the answer, or is there more to be done? ️Head to the comments section to share your thoughts! #REC #UmbrellaCompanies #Recruitment
