Specialised HR and employment services for businesses

You may be an organisation with a small HR department or no internal HR support. This is where Wrigleys can help.

In addition to employment law advice, Wrigleys' HR consultants provide advice on practical HR matters such as redundancy, restructuring, HR audits and mediation.

You may require someone independent to carry out, for example, an investigation or provide support during a disciplinary process or a redundancy consultation.

Our HR consultants have a variety of experience in the public sector, the third sector and the private sector and can help with such issues as:

  • Recruitment and selection
  • Investigations
  • Support at disciplinary and appeal hearings
  • Restructuring
  • The training of employee representatives
  • Mediation

 

‘Wrigleys have a fantastic understanding of the highly specialised industry sectors in which they operate and I would not hesitate to recommend them.’
