Running a business means people projects, cases or challenges will arise, but that doesn’t mean you need to incur the cost of increasing your internal HR resources to deal with them. Below are some of the key areas in which we have supported our customers:

Mergers, Acquisitions and TUPE

Whether your business is changing hands, contractors service providers, or suffering significant structural change, including TUPE transfers, the hr inspire team supports you throughout the process while keeping your employees informed and confident in what’s happening. Specifically, TUPE, or Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, is something you will be undertaking if your business changes hands or contracted service providers.

For the new business owner, it means bringing a workforce on board under their existing terms, often resulting in the newly united business having varied benefits, terms, and pay levels.
For employees, being transferred to a new business can be a stressful experience, especially when considering many TUPE transfers occur alongside redundancies.

Our specialist Consultants will support you with the employment aspects of a TUPE transfer, including:

Employment Contracts
Employee records
Ensuring staff are informed in advance
Transferring staff information
