๐ŸšฉI found some red flags and risks they wish they knew about sooner.

Here's the issue most employers are facing;

Too many employers are haemorrhaging money on people and services that just arenโ€™t fit for purpose anymore.
โ†ณBloated retainers.
โ†ณOverlapping job roles.
โ†ณWage creep with no return.

And no oneโ€™s telling them the truth about itโ€”especially not their "HR advisors."

โ†’A ยฃ3,500/month outsourced admin service doing what employees already did
โ†’2 employees on ยฃ50K+ salaries doing 60% of their roles
โ†’โ€˜Discretionaryโ€™ pay increases that were becoming a contractual norm
โ†’No review system, no KPIs, no clarity on roles or value

1. Scrutinised every outsourced cost: Found duplication, poor value, and rewrote the contracts for a clean exit

2. Mapped out actual vs. expected duties: Job realignment revealed we could distribute tasks across the team

3. Rewrote job descriptions and responsibilities: Matched pay to valueโ€”no demotions, no drama

4. Introduced a compliant, performance-linked pay review process: Transparent. Measurable. Legal.

The result?

โ†’ No redundancies
โ†’ Higher morale
โ†’ And a bulletproof defence against any future employment claims

Thatโ€™s the difference between a tick-box HR service and a proactive, commercial HR department.

We donโ€™t wait for problems.
We find them before they cost you moneyโ€”or land you in court.
