With rising cost, complexity and compliance demands, traditional HR operating models are no longer fit-for-purpose. Organisations need to enter the Employee-Relations-as-a-Service (ERaaS) era.
HR’s wake-up call
Economic pressure and sweeping regulatory change – specifically the new Employment Rights Bill – are creating unprecedented pressure for UK businesses and HR teams.
To thrive, or even survive, HR needs a new operating model that delivers efficiency, compliance and confidence at scale.
That model is Employee-Relations-as-a-Service (ERaaS).
Employee-Relations-as-a-Service
Strategic HR
ERaaS is a business-critical shift that transforms HR from reactive fire-fighting to a strategic, data-driven function that drives business performance, efficiency and protects reputation.
Data-driven HR
By embracing ERaaS, organisations can transition to a data-driven, proactive approach to HR strategy. ERaaS ensures compliance and directly links employee relations to tangible ROI, through improved sickness absence rates, reduced employment tribunal risks and enhanced employee experiences.
Empowered HR
ERaaS shifts everyday employee relations issues away from internal HR teams, enabling line managers to take a proactive, empowered approach to people management. ERaaS is built on three distinct and high-impact components: Empowered managers, always-on advice and legal safeguards.
Tech-empowered managers and HR leaders
empower®, the flagship case management technology from AdviserPlus, an EPG company, enables a data-driven approach for HR leaders and allows managers to self-serve people matters in a risk-managed way. This innovative approach builds manager capability – with more than 90% of ER matters typically being manager-led – improves employee experiences, and ensures consistency and compliance, all whilst freeing up internal HR teams to focus on strategic priorities.
Unbiased, always-on advice
Outsourced employee relations advice from EPG’s ER transformation experts ensures managers get expert advice early, nipping issues in the bud, which reduces time, cost and the likelihood of costly claims later on, whilst driving performance.
Legally privileged safeguards
Sweeping employment law changes means legally privileged advice from EPG’s employment law experts, Halborns, gives leaders an extra layer of protection – conversations can be had without the threat of repetition at employment tribunal. This enables faster, commercial, more confident decisions without fear of future challenge. Turning compliance into a genuine competitive advantage.
