Mitchells People Solutions
Welcome
Employment legislation is complex and subject to ongoing change, yet hiring HR specialists may prove impractical or be cost-prohibitive for many businesses. Whether you have just one member of staff or dozens, being an employer carries a myriad of legal responsibilities and obligations. It can be a minefield but we understand the pressures you face and can provide practical advice and business solutions to get your people on track and keep them there.
Seeking our timely support cannot only help you avoid expensive and damaging litigation but also help your company to achieve its business goals, we specialise in all the people and employment aspects of business. We want to help you maximise your return on your wage bill by ensuring your team are focused and performing.
Mitchells People Solutions Ltd can offer as little or as much assistance as you require. With extensive, hands-on experience of employment issues and employment law, we can provide the guidance your business needs to help you through the maze of human resource management.
What we do
Our aim is to provide a range of flexible and practical HR Services specifically tailored to meet the needs of each client company. We will become extended members of your team and work in a flexible, efficient manner, meeting the changing needs of your business.
We recognise that all companies have differing needs around their people – however with regard to employment legislation you all have similar responsibilities. Whether the demands of the law have overtaken your established working practises, or you are a start up business with little in place, we can quickly get you up to speed with all your legal obligations.
If you are a larger business, maybe you are growing or shrinking, flourishing or struggling – we can provide additional HR support for your management team to help with any additional workload and impact on your business.
Rather than giving you a telephone number which puts you through to a call centre (usually getting a different voice each time you ring) – if you contact Mitchells People Solutions you will speak directly Jill Jones.
