Outsourced HR Services for your Veterinary Clinic24/7 and Unlimited HR Support for the Veterinary Practice industry
Struggling to find a cure for your human resources (HR) management?
UK employers need to manage their HR correctly, and this is no different for veterinary practices.
Whether you need to manage employee shifts, or handle a staff member with a bad or negative attitude - the veterinary sector comes with a range of HR issues. However, not making HR your number one priority could lead to non-compliance, which might lead to a breach of contract and legal damage. But how do you ensure compliance when you’ve got little HR experience?
That's where Peninsula comes in.
Many veterinary practices across the UK work with us when it comes to outsourcing their HR, especially if they don't have HR professionals. Our services include:
Employee wellbeing support.
By working with Peninsula, we take the hassle of HR off of your shoulders. So instead of managing human resources, you can carry on doing what you do best - providing the best care in your veterinary clinic.
HR Services
We provide watertight HR documentation to ensure your compliance
Correctly managing your HR is more than just providing annual leave to staff members and managing poor performance. In fact, under UK law, a veterinary practice owner must follow several key legislations - and regulatory compliance should never be ignored.
For example, this includes the:
Employment Rights Act (1996).
National Minimum Wage Act (1998).
Not only do you manage the shifts and workloads of your veterinary staff, but you also have a legal duty to draft certain policies and documentation. This is an essential practice, but without a designated HR department, you may not know where to start.
That's where we can help, our team of retail HR professionals help you draft your:
Grievance and disciplinary procedures.
So whilst you continue to grow your veterinary practice, we'll support you with your HR documentation. Not to mention, we'll even update them when legislation changes too - ensuring legal compliance at all times.
Peninsula understands how important employee wellbeing is
Working in the veterinary profession can be fast-paced and emotionally stressful, not only do you feel the strain - but your employees do too.
Giving customers difficult or upsetting news, working long shifts, and being on their feet all day can hurt both their physical and mental health. This means your employees may not know where to turn for their stress management. In extreme cases, they might even suffer from drug and alcohol abuse.
As their employer, it is your responsibility to protect their mental and physical health whilst at work. But between juggling your own responsibilities, how can you uphold employee wellbeing?
That's where we come in. By choosing Peninsula to outsource your HR, our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) can be added as an optional extra to your package.
So, when your employees face problems in either their personal or working lives - we're here to support them. Our EAP service includes:
24/7 counselling.
In-person therapy.
Access to a suite of online tools.
It's just one of the many benefits you can experience when working with Peninsula.
Is your HR management not getting the care it deserves? Our 24/7 advice line can solve any urgent issue
When running a veterinary practice, your employees require a wide range of skills. From curing sick and injured animals, to speaking with the general public, or booking appointments.
Most of the time, everything in your veterinary clinic will run smoothly, but HR issues can occur when you least expect it. For example, your HR department can have trouble with:
Working Time Regulations.
Implementing HR processes.
Performance management.
Creating a positive work environment.
Managing workplace conflicts.
Ensuring staff have completed the relevant training.
As we know, these are common issues for most businesses. But can be particularly relevant in a veterinary practice - and not having a specific HR team can make managing these issues even more difficult.
That’s where Peninsula can help.
By working with us, you'll have full access to our 24/7 advice line, available 365 days a year. So matter the size of the issue or the time of day it occurs - we're on hand to support you.
