When recruiting, the very first step is to review your job description making sure it’s accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with what you’re offering.

From there, it’s all about showcasing both the role and your organisation in the best possible light. Engaging adverts, recruitment packs, or even short videos can make all the difference when attracting top talent.

Talented people want to join progressive organisations that truly value their teams. By highlighting your culture and what makes you a great place to work right from the advert stage, you’re far more likely to spark interest and encourage the best candidates to apply.

At Transforming HR, we can support businesses in getting recruitment right from the very start.

Giving employment references isn’t usually something employers have to do by law, unless it’s in the contract or common in your industry. When you do provide one, keep it simple and factual, like job title and dates worked. Avoid sharing opinions or sensitive info without the employee’s permission to stay out of trouble. Many businesses find it easier to have a standard way of doing references. If you want a hand with that, you can download our free reference letter template to get started!

Improving staff engagement and morale in a small business with limited growth opportunities can be tough. It starts by truly understanding how your team feels. Then, focus on creating a positive environment where everyone feels valued, celebrate wins, keep communication open, and support skill development. The best way to boost your team's engagement is by asking them what matters most!

We started Transforming HR back in 2020 because we knew small businesses needed something different when it came to HR support.

Julie and Nic brought together over 30 years of experience across all kinds of sectors, from charities and public sector to entertainment and banking - to create something that’s practical, down-to-earth, and genuinely helpful.

We know that HR can feel like a minefield when you’re trying to run a business. That’s why we created our subscription service, to give small business owners easy-to-understand guidance, support when you need it, and the confidence to deal with whatever comes up.

If that sounds like something you need, we’d love to hear from you!

When providing references, employers must keep things true, fair, and legally compliant. Inaccurate or misleading details could lead to defamation claims.

That’s why many employers now stick to the essentials:
✔️ Job title
✔️ Start and end dates
✔️ Salary (optional)

Avoid subjective opinions or sensitive data especially details like sickness absence, unless you have explicit consent.

To make things easier, we’ve created free downloadable resources, including a helpful FAQ that covers key legal points.
