Hempsons’ national employment team delivers pragmatic and sensitive solutions tailored to the budgets of a broad third sector client base. We are approachable, realistic and work to budget. The team works with HR Professionals, Finance Directors, chief executives and HR teams.

Driving organisational performance and maximising efficiency are key issues for all employers. Re-organsiation and redundancy programmes may be required. Financial pressures mean that absence and performance management have come to the fore. Insisting on accountability at all levels often flushes out employee challenge. Requiring the top team to deliver can lead to tricky board level employment issues and employers may wish to move away from pay settlements negotiated in less financially challenging times.

Hempsons’ team is known for delivering results rapidly and reliably with the minimum fuss. Deep knowledge of clients’ regulatory and commercial environments means our advice encompasses all areas of risk, not just the legal issues. High profile and controversial situations are our specialty.
