(Clean Kilo in Birmingham)
The rise of zero waste companies is just incredible. It was something needed for so long. Do you remember the day when you would pop into a sweet shop and you would have a measure of sweets and you would carry them home in a paper bag? Do you remember giving back the cola or milk bottles for refills? This wasn’t that long ago. But in the last 20 years, we saw a rise in processed foods and of course packaging to go with it. As we have seen from the amount of zero waste companies trading, that this was completely unnecessary and has done some significant damage to the planet in such a short time. zero waste companies are popping up every day now, online, on markets and on the high street.
In Bristol, we are supporting our local businesses, Zero Green https://www.zerogreenbristol.co.uk/ and Preserve Foods https://www.preservefoods.co.uk; and these companies are edging their way forward to being leaders in the zero waste movement in the South West of England.
In Birmingham, we have the Clean Kilo https://www.thecleankilo.co.uk/, going from strength to strength. And the best bit is some of them are even more eco–conscious as they have added vegan to their business agenda, where you will not find any products which have derived from animals.
Zero waste companies have growing pains just like any other. They need to attract, employ and retain the right people for their business. But how can they do it when they may not be experts in employment law? In order for them to survive and thrive, they need to ensure their people are employed correctly, are given their full employment rights and are also treated fairly when in employment. After all, your people are your business. Without them, you don’t have a business.
So how can they get employing people right the first time?
It’s simple. They find a HR Consultancy that specialises in supporting ethical and sustainable businesses, like us: Specialised HR Solutions. We too, ourselves are sustainable. We use no paper. Absolutely none. All our office furniture is up-cycled and we buy reconditioned IT equipment. We don’t believe that you need to run a HR Consultancy that has any impact on a HR Consultancy.
On top of that, we guarantee that we provide a high level of HR support, whether it’s help with recruitment, drafting employment contracts and handbooks, or managing a difficult employee situation and managing them out of the business. We’ve got a 100% success rate with all our clients. To date none of our clients have faced an employment tribunal whilst we have been supporting them; however, plenty of these types of businesses have when they have not appointed an outsourced HR consultancy.
So what do HR Consultancies do?
We provide employment support to help companies and charities to handle anything to do with employees. We understand not everyone is an expert at employment law and we don’t expect you to be. So we take away all the burden and support our clients on an ad-hoc or retainer basis, providing tailored solutions, which meet their current needs; giving them the flexibility to choose when they use us. Some of our clients see as an extension to their business and we are always here for them, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tel: 0843 176 0266.
Who do we work with?
We’ve worked with some of the most talented and influential people and businesses in our sector. We have small enterprises like vegan cafes through to large eco friendly charities. As long as the client is aligned with our values, we can support them. We offer an initial free 30 minute consultation, which gives us an opportunity to get to know your business and it’s needs and for you to find out how we work.
If you have an employee problem and you want a quick resolution, don’t hesitate to get in touch: 0843 1760266 or email hello@specialisedhr.co.uk.
