Growing your business can mean recruiting members of staff to support you; you will need to understand the recruitment process, what to do when the new person joins your business, and the legal implications.

Finding the right person

Your staff can be the most important asset in building a successful business. It is important to recruit good people who are right for the job.

Meeting candidates face-to-face provides the best opportunity for gathering information about their suitability for the role and your business.

Preparing for the induction of a new employee is just as important as recruiting them.

Motivating and improving performance

Both can be good ways to develop and motivate your staff - this guide will help you to make the most of the opportunities they offer.

Getting the most from your team is the sign of a good manager and can lead to a successful business.

Making it easy

An efficient payroll system is essential to ensure your employees are paid on time and their salaries and correctly calculated.

Legal issues

As soon as you employ anyone, even only one part-time employee, you inherit a raft of legal obligations.

Although there are many different types of customers, when considering your products or services the more diverse your customer base, the more likely your business is to be successful.
