The Mercia HR manual is the result of considerable product development, including client research. Not only will it help you comply with the law, it will also help you get the most from your people and create a new revenue stream when sold on to your clients (50% commission on all sales!).

Two versions have been developed; one specifically for the profession to include professional conduct and professional development and one that is ideal for all SMEs. What makes it different from other products available is the use of a simple programme that will personalise it for your business. You simply answer a series of questions, following clear guidance notes and the programme inserts all your details so that it becomes your own practical staff manual.

You can use it to set your own internal standards, supported by relevant policies and procedures. You can be confident of its relevance through regular updates that reflect changes in employment legislation. The HR Manual is divided into three parts, Employer Guidance Notes, Employee Handbook and Standard Forms. The Manual will help businesses comply with the law and also maximise use of their people resource. It will be available in hard copy and on CD.
