With constantly changing legislation, and the chance that getting something wrong could cost thousands of pounds in a tribunal, it's difficult to be sure that you are complying with all you need to. Ariadne Associates can set up contracts of employment, human resource procedures and policies that are best suited to your organisation -making sure you are legally covered without being bogged down in bureaucracy.

Selecting the right people is vital - particularly in a smaller business. Ariadne Associates can manage the complete process, from helping you draft job descriptions and adverts, through shortlisting and handling the administration of applications, to final interview. If you want them, Ariadne Associates can also administer personality questionnaires or aptitude tests.

Whether you need advice on an individual's development, a training course in a particular subject or a full training needs analysis for the whole organisation, Ariadne Associates can undertake this. You'll get professional, practical advice that takes your business forward.

Unfortunately, sometimes it's necessary to reduce your staff numbers. Ariadne Associates can ensure that such situations are carried out legally, professionally and sensitively.
