Taking on your First Employee
One of the biggest decisions that any small business makes is around taking on its first employee - it is a big financial commitment and can have an impact on your reputation as you grow your business
As a business owner, it is important that you make the right decision and the first choice can be around whether or not employing someone is initially the best option - it may be better for your business to contract out or buy-in the services / skills that you require
If you do decide that taking on your first employee is the right step to take, there are several factors that you will need to consider:
- How can you ensure that you recruit the right person for the job?
- What documents - contracts and policies - will your new employee need?
- What training will you need to provide for your new employee?
- How will you know that you have made the right decision?
Depending on your own level of confidence, Able2 Consulting can either support you step-by-step through the whole process, focus on the parts that you feel less confident dealing with or we can just act as a sounding board, helping you to clarify the actions and processes you need to follow

Contract and new starter pack
For your first employee, I recommend that you have an offer letter, basic contract of employment, probation policy, disciplinary procedure and grievance procedure. The cost for this bundle is £455 and I can add your Company logo to reflect your brand
If you require Able2 Consulting to provide any additional contracts, policies or documents for your new employee, this will be quoted for separately
