Businesses who fail to successfully manage long-term sickness could leave themselves open to costly unfair dismissal claims. In this article I outline a 5-step process for employers…
Read MoreI'm Jo Trimarco and I formed JT HRConsultancy Ltd in April 2014.
No one size fits all, so you need flexibility from an HR consultant, so that’s exactly what I provide.
JT HRConsultancy will establish full HR legislation compliance for your business. My consultancy company is always up to date with the latest HR laws.
Whether you need a fully outsourced solution or assistance with creating your HR goals to conducting interviews and appraisals, providing a new employment contract or employee handbook or maybe something in between – with over 22 years’ experience I can offer an efficient and personal HR service.
I help clients who are struggling with employee issues and feeling really fed-up! Employee issues are often urgent and stressful for both the manager and employee, and I can take that stress away from you.
WHO I WORK WITH
My clients are business owners and directors who are so busy running their business they do not have the time, desire or expertise to deal with employee matters. You have no in-house HR or just need an extra pair of hands to take that stress away.
Are you:
- Juggling too many hats as a business owner or director and stressed out by employee issues?
- Not sure whether you’ve got your HR basics right?
- Taking on employees for the first time and not sure what you need legally?
- Struggling to find talent?
- Wasting valuable time on Google looking up ‘how to deal with a ‘grievance’?
- Waking up in the middle of the night worrying about your HR issues?
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HR
Problem solving and finding a solution
Working in HR for over 22 years nothing surprises me, every day is different.
Your company may not possess all the skills & knowledge of an HR professional to deal successfully with employee relation issues and ignoring HR responsibilities and legalities could lead to a costly tribunal and we don’t want that!
I can offer a package specifically around your needs providing you with a clear focus on managing HR & employee issues.
I have worked within the following industries (and many more):
IT Software, Leisure, Technology, Logistics, Manufacturing, Recruitment, Education, Commercial Cleaning, Corporate Workwear, Printing, Shredding, Charity, Gardening Services, Media, Construction, Gardening and International Consultancy.
HIGHLY QUALIFIED
I am highly qualified and experienced and there is not much I haven’t handled in my HR career. In 2000 I set up a complete HR function for a new start-up company and was instrumental in growing the business from 5 employees to over 100 with a 98% talent retention rate.
DEMONSTRABLE RESULTS
Reducing sickness absence from 7% to 3%
Employee retention saving £000’s in recruitment costs
Managing employee issues saving £000’s in tribunal costs
Reducing business owner headaches and saving them £00’s in painkiller costs

Even short-term pieces of work can have an extreme impact on your business. No matter how simple or commonplace, these can escalate into much bigger issues if they’re not managed and just ignored. Whether it's managing an employees’ poor performance or a redundancy process, I can guide you through every stage. I keep abreast of latest case law and legislation and am able to offer the best solutions to your employment issues.
It is important to get the right people for your business and I can assist you with all your recruitment and on-boarding needs.
It is important that issues are handled quickly and in a fair and sincere manner to avoid unnecessary and costly tribunal cases. I can support you through any stage of the process.
Employment Law can be a minefield and very daunting. I stay on top of legislation and regulations and can guide you through the complexities, no matter how big or small your question.
As a business, it is important that you protect yourself and your staff. Having well written employment documents is essential, the documentation must be legally correct, as well as protecting your company's confidential information and demonstrating HR best practice. I can help you draw up contracts of employment, develop policies and procedures, produce job descriptions and employee handbooks to ensure compliance.
Good performance management helps everyone in the company and is the activity and set of processes that aim to maintain and improve employee performance in line with an organisation's objectives.
Change is unavoidable and that at some point every business will go through a period of transformation, whether it is relocating your business, restructuring or downsizing.
Do your HR practices support the needs of your business, are your policies fit for purpose and do they meet current legislation?
