Law firm launches HR arm
A HUMAN resources and training business, thought to be the first of its kind in North Yorkshire, is being launched by law firm Denison Till.
The new venture, Denison Till HR & Training Solutions, based at Denison Till’s offices in York, will enable businesses to access strategic and operational HR and training alongside specialist employment law expertise.
Denison Till HR & Training Solutions, which has launched this week, will be led by managing director, Jo Bloor, who has 20 years’ experience in HR both as a freelance consultant and as an in-house HR manager.
A wide range of HR and training services will be provided by the venture including HR consultancy on issues such as introducing and maintaining strategic and operational HR policies and practices, disciplinary and dismissal processes, dealing with employee grievances, recruitment and selection support, psychometric assessments, executive coaching and bespoke project management.
On the training side, it will offer a range of leadership training including workforce motivation, managing difficult staff, presentation skills, negotiation techniques, assertiveness and change management.
Ms Bloor will be supported by Denison Till’s employment law team, including partners Brian Harrington and Tiggy Clifford.
Denison Till’s managing partner, Alistair Duncan, said: “People, and how they perform, are the most important factor in any business. Adopting and maintaining proper HR strategies is a pre-requisite for successful enterprises of any size. Failure to address these issues can lead to a business underperforming and failing foul of employment law.
“Denison Till HR & Training Solutions, which we believe to be the first of its kind in York and North Yorkshire, is a hugely exciting initiative allowing businesses to access proven HR experience alongside a very strong employment law team. We believe that there will be a strong demand from clients for this exciting new venture.”
