Growth in terms of revenue, market share, and brand recognition are priorities for businesses in every sector and industry. Knowing how to protect your reputation and safeguard your team is the key to growth and commercial success. There is no better place to achieve this success than Aberdeen. As one of the major industrial cities in Scotland, Aberdeen is filled with opportunity and a booming economy enabling many businesses to flourish.
In this blog, our employment lawyers in Aberdeen share their advice on nurturing and protecting a growing business.
Protect your assets
So many fledgling businesses fail because they do not pay enough attention to one of their key business assets – their employees. Many companies have all the makings of a successful business but often open themselves up to damage by not managing employee relationships effectively from the outset.
As part of our employment services, we help you with the management of your employee relationships from day one – with ongoing support available in the form of our annual retainer or other services, we will ensure you have employment contracts in place at the start, with these documents being developed as your business grows.
Stay in the know
Once your business is established, your team hired, and the business is growing, it can be quite easily put all the legal paperwork to one side. Keeping up to date with the constantly evolving field of employment law can make the difference between being ready for potential difficulties and upheaval and being caught off guard by them, particularly in the face of internal disputes and negotiations.
As part of our commitment to keeping you informed, we offer ongoing seminars and training to ensure you stay informed on all things employment law – from your senior leadership team to your ground workers.
Approach conflict with professionalism
One of the biggest challenges of running a business is dealing with internal conflict, be it in the form of redundancy, disciplinary action, or handling internal disputes. With the right legal advice, you can approach all these issues with professionalism, while ensuring compliance with legislation to protect your business reputation regardless of the outcome.
Our team offer constructive and hands-on guidance when dealing with such situations, both as part of our annual retainer service or as an ad hoc business support service.
