E-LEARNING IS A WAY TO LAY DOWNTHE LAW


HR Solutions of Kettering, which specialises in providing outsourced HR support to other businesses, has launched an e- Learning and Policy Compliance system that enables organisations to train staff and stay up to date with employment legislation. The company developed the


system after several pieces of high impact employment law legislation changed in the UK in recent months including the Data Protection Act 2018, General Data Protection Regulation, Criminal Finances Act, Equality Act, and Gender Pay Gap Reporting. The system works by rolling out


a company’s policies to its staff via an online portal. Staff read each policy and complete a test at the end to demonstrate they


understand and accept the policy. The system also houses a series of e-learning courses and training videos on topics including workplace legislation; workplace skills such as time management and negotiation; health and safety; and management training. Greg Guilford, chief

High quality and personal recruitment service Select Appointments has produced The Seven Cs of Recruitment for candidates and recruiters. Candidate – The difference


between a good and a bad recruitment business is the process of ensuring every candidate you put forward for a role is right for it. Whether you are hiring or applying, plan your requirements and make sure you are heard by your consultant. Client – If you are looking for


work, register with an agency that has connections in the right industry. If you are hiring you want to use a popular agency that has been tried and tested by businesses like yours. Consultant – Look for a


recruitment company with experience and find a team with proven organisation skills, the tools to search for skilled candidates, and consultants who understand your goals.


Communication – As a conduit


between candidates and clients, consultants need to be organised and excellent communicators. Offer your consultant multiple ways of getting in contact with you. Confidence – Hirers, know what


you want from a potential employee and candidates, you need confidence that your consultant is putting you forward for roles you can ace and will match your end goal. At interview, show this confidence and that you are capable of performing the tasks required. Cohesion – You spend most of


your life at work, you’ve got to love what you do, who you work with and the ethos of the company you work for. Convenience – Recruitment


services need to be easily accessible and inclusive for everyone. Select Appointments has offices in high-street locations and a large team of people with industry experience at the end of the phone.
