Streets HR

Streets HR is provided by Beststart Human Resources and Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, a UK Top 20 law firm. Their specialist expertise covers all aspects of HR and they are best placed when working directly with you to ensure you achieve a quick and successful resolution - no matter how complex the problem.

Streets HR Offering

For clients with fewer than 20 employees – there is a simple questionnaire that you can complete yourself. If the answer is not ‘yes’ to all of the questions then you are unlikely to be meeting all of your legal obligations as an employer and should get in touch to find out how we can help you to do this cost effectively. For a copy of this questionnaire please email info@streetsweb.co.uk

For clients with 20+ employees – our service starts with a complimentary HR Audit. This provides a comprehensive review of all your HR documents, processes and practices. We produce a written report which serves as an HR ‘road map’ giving you a complete overview of where your HR stands and what could be implemented to take the organisation forward. As a result of this report, we will recommend the most appropriate HR service option to meet your needs but there is no obligation to use Streets HR after the HR Audit.
