Employee Relations is a complex and rapidly changing aspect of modern business. As organisations look for efficiencies and expect more from line managers to make way for a more strategic HR Function, skills in Employee Relations, Employee Engagement and Internal Communications have never been so important, for both HR Professionals and Line Managers alike.

Employment law support, minute-takers and administration back-up are all available where necessary, and a supervisor is appointed to oversee every case.

Insights
The Marshall-James team have not learned their trade from a book.
Their expertise comes from having lived, breathed and experienced the challenges and opportunities that present themselves to employers and organisations.
That's what makes us such good partners to work with.
Our work with business investors is growing as pressure mounts on underperforming businesses in their portfolios. We work with Boards in these businesses to improve financial performance. We bring about change in difficult areas such as working practises, terms and conditions and collective agreements to bring greater flexibility and effectiveness.
The work we undertake in the Public Sector is expanding as organisations look to reduce cost and change the way services are provided. An example of this is the way we manage disciplinary and grievance cases on behalf of both Public and Private sector employers so that their management resources remain focused on their core business.
We have developed hundreds of Managers, both HR Professionals and Line Managers, to improve their performance in managing Employee Relations, Employee Engagement and Communications. Managers are the key to getting it right, but untrained, unconfident managers are often the reason it goes wrong. Inaction here presents additional risk to employers.
