🚩I found some red flags and risks they wish they knew about sooner.
Here's the issue most employers are facing;
Too many employers are haemorrhaging money on people and services that just aren’t fit for purpose anymore.
↳Bloated retainers.
↳Overlapping job roles.
↳Wage creep with no return.
And no one’s telling them the truth about it—especially not their "HR advisors."
𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵:
→A £3,500/month outsourced admin service doing what employees already did
→2 employees on £50K+ salaries doing 60% of their roles
→‘Discretionary’ pay increases that were becoming a contractual norm
→No review system, no KPIs, no clarity on roles or value
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱:
1. Scrutinised every outsourced cost: Found duplication, poor value, and rewrote the contracts for a clean exit
2. Mapped out actual vs. expected duties: Job realignment revealed we could distribute tasks across the team
3. Rewrote job descriptions and responsibilities: Matched pay to value—no demotions, no drama
4. Introduced a compliant, performance-linked pay review process: Transparent. Measurable. Legal.
The result?
✨£86,000+ 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀✨
→ No redundancies
→ Higher morale
→ And a bulletproof defence against any future employment claims
That’s the difference between a tick-box HR service and a proactive, commercial HR department.
