Struggling with a staff issue? You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Managing people is one of the most rewarding – and challenging – parts of running a business. But when things go wrong, it can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you’re conducting a disciplinary issue, a grievance complaint, poor performance, or ongoing sickness absence, it’s natural to feel unsure of the right steps.

That’s where Jonathan can help.

With over 40 years of hands-on experience in HR, and 4 times HR Consultant of the year, Jonathan provides confidential, step-by-step support that helps you manage staff issues fairly, professionally, and in line with English Employment Law.

What kind of issues can Jonathan help you with?

• Disciplinary Procedures
  From investigation through to outcome, I’ll guide you through or manage the process, ensuring everything is properly documented and compliant.

  If an employee raises a complaint, it must be taken seriously. I’ll help you handle the situation impartially and with the sensitivity it requires.
• Poor Performance
  Unsure how to address underperformance? I’ll help you implement structured appraisals, performance improvement plans, and set clear expectations.

  Managing short- or long-term absence needs a balance of empathy and policy. I’ll help you handle return-to-work interviews, referrals, and capability considerations in a fair, legal manner.

What you can expect:

• On-Site or Remote HR Support
  I’ll work in a way that suits your business – whether that’s stepping in directly, supporting your managers, or advising behind the scenes.

• Peace of Mind
  You’ll have the confidence that your actions are fair, consistent, and fully compliant with English Employment Law.

Why It Matters

Handling staff issues poorly – or not at all – can result in lost productivity, low morale, tribunal claims, and reputational damage. But doing it right builds trust, maintains fairness, and protects your business.

If you’re facing a difficult employee situation or want to prepare for one, Jonathan is here to help.
