Upcoming webinar
The inside story | How leading organisations are using legally privileged ER outsourcing
Wednesday 12th November 11:00-12:00
Join us for an exclusive insight into how Vision Express and The Body Shop transformed their employee relations strategy by outsourcing employee relations services with legal privilege.
Simon Fowler, CEO of Empowering People Group, and and employment lawyer and COO, Rena Christou, recently voted in the top 20 LinkedIn Legal Influencers, will be joined by Karen Jackson, Head of HR Business Partnering at Vision Express, and Nicola Harkin, Head of People UK at The Body Shop, to reveal how legally privileged outsourcing is shaping the future of employee relations.
The crisis in employee relations
Employee relations cases have spiked up to 40% for some organisations, while Google searches for HR outsourcing have surged 271% year on year – a clear signal that HR teams are stretched beyond breaking point.
The pressure is relentless. Absence rates in the UK have reached their highest levels in years, the Employment Rights Bill is raising employee awareness of their rights and AI is enabling more complex grievances with workplace tensions rising. Getting ahead of this is essential.
Yet many ER operating models are outdated, with managers over-reliant on HR for support in people matters they should be capable of handling themselves. And, concerningly, 75% of organisations still rely on spreadsheets to manage sensitive, complex ER data, leaving them exposed to legal risk.
