Yes. Much of the work - contracts, policies, probation systems, process design and advice calls - is delivered remotely, so employers elsewhere in the UK can be supported in the same way. In-person support is most straightforward across Edinburgh, Midlothian and the Lothians. Tell Derek where you are based and he will confirm what is practical.
Ask about your locationYes. Derek supports employers with live employee relations matters as well as with systems and documentation. Live case support begins with a short review of the situation so the scope and the sensible next step are clear, and it is quoted separately from the documentation packages. If a case is already under way, get in touch before the next meeting is arranged.
Talk to Derek about a live caseIdeally before there is a problem. The most useful moments are when you are employing someone for the first time, when the team grows beyond the point where the owner knows everything, when a probation or performance concern appears, or when you are considering restructuring. Early advice is almost always cheaper and calmer than advice sought after a decision has already been made.
