Hi,
As the temperature continues to drop and the nights draw in sooner, it looks like autumn is now certainly with us. And as you notice the weather and the leaves start to change, you'll notice a lot of changes with Crispin Rhodes - including our new HR Blog! For now on all of our eBulletin articles will link back to the blog - we hope that will make it easier for you to keep up to date with the ever changing maze of employment legislation.
In this e-bulletin we've recapped the recent changes to how businesses can employ temporary agency workers, have included a list of ten steps you can take to minimise the risk of facing an employment tribunal and have news on stress in the workplace and about the first person to be prosecuted under the recently introduced Bribery Act.
And, as ever, your feedback is always appreciated so please do let us know what you think of our new blog and if there's anything else you would like to see in our e-Bulletin.
Kind regards,
The Crispin Rhodes Team
