Caroline Raybould, HR Dept (North Birmingham) | Enterprise Nation

&lt;p&gt;We believe that having great HR in the workplace is essential to help your business grow. Here at The HR Dept North Birmingham, we have been working closely with SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to provide urgent support to many businesses through this unprecedented time of change. Our core focus recently has involved supporting businesses through the many rules and updates to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, providing advice and guidance to many teams on embracing a new way of working remotely, restructuring organisations and unfortunatley supporting with redundancy processes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our team provides affordable outsourced HR advice, tailored to your business needs. Whether it&amp;rsquo;s dealing with a sensitive employment issue or the challenges of growth or downsizing, we can provide pragmatic advice and support without breaking the bank, backed with the peace of mind of legal indemnity cover.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What services can we offer? Just to name a few&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The HR Dept North Birmingham has a team of qualified HR professionals with a wealth of expert knowledge. We are contactable by telephone or email or we can support you with those difficult people issues on site. We pride ourselves on providing local and personal HR support to small business owners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We have clients ranging from Architects, IT Consultancies, Pest Controllers, Farm Shops, Opticians, Manufacturing, Warehouses, Brewing, Financial Advisors as well as those offering services within the education and wider public sector.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The HR Dept will tell you what you can do, not what you can&amp;rsquo;t do. So, whether you&amp;rsquo;re taking on your first staff member or employ up to around 100 people, we can help. We can even support your current HR staff behind the scenes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We cover a range of local areas including Sutton Coldfield, Erdington, Walsall, Aldridge, Brownhills, South Tamworth, and areas in between.&lt;/p&gt;
