HR Best Value

"Challenge, Compare, Consult and Compete" - Confused?

At best - "best value" is a highly effective way to continually review services offered through the public sector to ensure continual improvement and efficiency. If best value is working continually the services delivered to our communities in the UK will be continually be operating at their optimum. That is the theory !

At worst - "best value" becomes another bureaucratic chore which is regarded with as much interest as good house keeping. Seen as a "hygiene" issue best value is often carried out with little vision for the added value it can bring to an organisation, or value to customers.

And so beleaguered public servants set about "achieving" best value. Its achievability will always elude those seeking it.

HR Results is presently working with a number of public bodies bringing a fresh approach to Best Value within HR.

By Identifying organisation - specific "measurables" for HR performance, we unearth a number of hidden gems which really add value to the organisational effectiveness. Also we uproot a number of hidden and unresolved performance issues which can easily be addressed to improve customer service and value within the organisation.

Undertaking Best Values reviews of HR has been an enlightening experience for those we are currently working with. For the first time they have been afforded the "space" to examine what it is that they need to do in order to add value to the organisations activities and services to public. This process is very enabling for both the HR professionals we are working with as well as their internal customers.

Legal Hotspots - HR Results ensures you don't get burnt !

Data Protection - from yawn to eyebrow raiser !
Most eyes glaze over when it comes to Data Protection, however for a number of our clients Data Protection is currently a hot topic for their business.

Since October 2001, under the Data Protection Act 1998 ( DPA) , employees have a right to access data about themselves that is held by their employer.

Such requests are often met with consternation by the employer. Employees are more than ever aware of their rights through much publicised test cases at the employment tribunal. Equally by accessing their files employees can fish for information prior to making an application to a tribunal against their employer.

On the face of it this can seem concerning for employers. HR Results have been actively working to put the records straight - literally. We have been advising employers on ways in which they can ensure that they can respond to the legal changes responsibly as well as giving them an insight into ways to make sue that their employees don't hold all the cards.

DPA - Monitoring at Work
The number of disciplinary cases in relation to "on-line misconduct" is on the increase and represents a serious people management problem for business on line.

Our clients are seeking help from HR Results in order to protect themselves and their employees from the heat of redressing internet abuse.

Policies with "teeth" and communication strategies are part of the process for addressing this recurring issue, freeing up valuable time for our clients to focus on their core business.

Employment Bill 2003

It may have escaped your attention (unless you are highly attuned to the forum of employment law) that April 2003 heralded the much debated Employment Bill.

The Employment Bill 2003 effects employers in the fundamental way in which they manage their workforce. The changes which came about under this law affect employees contracts, terms and conditions, policies and procedures and most importantly management practice within your business.

The Employment Bill brought changes that affect:

Employer grievance and disciplinary procedures - making them a statutory requirement.

• Dispute resolution in the workplace.
• Paid and unpaid maternity leave.
• Paternity leave for working fathers.
• Union learning representatives.
• Flexible working practices.

Our astute clients have benefited from HR Results early warning system and were able to prepare and get a step ahead of these law changes in plenty of time.
