What happens when managers fail to address employee issues? In this case study, we explore how quickly small incidences of lateness can cause big problems
Colin Powell once said, “There are no secrets to success; it is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” As the Founder and Director of Rebox HR Ltd, I’ve applied these principles to build a successful outsourced HR department for SMEs, now recognized as a finalist at the prestigious SME National Business Awards 2022.
With constant changes in employment law and the increased risk of claims, many small business owners are hesitant to hire staff, preferring to manage the workload themselves to avoid potential legal issues. To navigate these challenges, it’s crucial for employers to have clear, jargon-free policies and proactively address any employee issues, ensuring fair treatment and managing expectations effectively.
We are thrilled to announce that Rebox HR has been named a finalist in the Best New Business category at the prestigious SME National Business Awards. The winners will be revealed at a Gala Dinner on 2nd December at Wembley Stadium, celebrating excellence among the UK’s top businesses.
As an HR Consultant, I’ve often heard the misconception that “flexible working is only for parents,” but in reality, everyone has the right to request flexible working arrangements. Flexible working can significantly benefit businesses by improving recruitment, retention, employee wellbeing, and overall engagement, making it a valuable strategy for modern workplaces.

Navigating the complexities of employee relationships can be challenging, especially when personal bonds blur professional lines, as demonstrated in this case study of a small family-run business. With the help of our professional HR support, the situation was resolved through careful mediation, ultimately leading to a fair settlement while minimizing stress and financial impact on the business.
Short service dismissals are not risk-free and require careful consideration and adherence to legal procedures to avoid costly tribunal cases, which can average £8,000 in defense costs. As an experienced HR consultant, I guide businesses through the complexities of short service dismissals, ensuring compliance and protecting against potential discrimination claims.
Following the recent redundancies at P&O Ferries, the Government plans to introduce a Statutory Code of Practice to enforce stricter employment practices and enhance employee rights. This new Code will require employers to thoroughly consult with staff and could result in up to 25% higher compensation penalties for non-compliance, making it crucial for businesses to seek professional HR advice to mitigate risks.
Small businesses often lack a dedicated HR department, leaving one person overwhelmed with multiple responsibilities, making it crucial to consider hiring an expert. Investing in a proactive HR consultancy like Rebox HR can save time, money, and effort by providing tailored support, resolving conflicts, and ensuring legal compliance, ultimately fostering an empowered and productive workforce.
