A leading HR consultancy in Leeds has launched a UK-wide initiative to help support businesses as they face the biggest employment law shake-up in a generation.
The Employment Rights Act voucher scheme sees people-first HR consultancy, Impact HR Consulting Limited, provide companies in Yorkshire with vouchers for 250 worth of HR support to help them prepare for the Employment Rights Act changes coming into force.
