Policy Templates

Many organisations produce very detailed documents containing a vast amount of information which is often irrelevant to their organisation. There are a number of rules, regulations and laws that govern workers, employers and the entire employment and retention process. Organisations must ensure that there are HR Policies in place to cover each of them.

Whether you choose to produce a staff handbook or a number of different policies and procedures, we can offer up to date templates on a wide range of important employment issues at a cost effective price and help you to decide which are relevant for your organisation.

Contact enquiries@vaorkney.org.uk to discuss how we can help you.

General HR Advice

Every business is engaged in employing, managing and developing people: people are our greatest asset but they can also be our greatest cost particularly if things go wrong. Employment law is often a minefield and we can help you find your way as it is crucial that you get it right.

We can provide straightforward and practical advice on how to deal with issues as they arise. We offer an efficient and cost effective service to clients who range from small businesses to substantial companies and we have the experience to offer you tailored advice.
