Effective recruitment is just the start of the HR process. Employees have rights and employers have duties and responsibilities. We can support you with advice and templates for contracts of employment, employee handbooks, effective induction, performance management and much more. It’s also important to understand your responsibilities if things go wrong and we can provide templates and advice around implementing a grievance policy, disciplinary policy, Code of Conduct etc. It is also essential to manage volunteers well – talk to us about this.
The Diocesan HR Team runs a 2 hour training course which will help you navigate the administrative and legal side of employing someone in your parish (including administrators, youth or family workers, caretakers or other paid staff). It will offer clergy and PCC members information, guidance and best practice in an easy to understand, interactive format including the use of short videos and case studies. Find out more here.
