How we helped a leading HR services business navigate through a period of growth

Nine years ago, then-Managing Director (now Chairman) Paul Gillott turned to esphr following a recommendation, and, after a consultation with the team at esphr, a package was put in place to meet Symatrix’s requirements.

As part of an annual package, esphr provides Symatrix with:

• Unlimited employment law and HR advice
• Online access to employment law and HR resources regularly updated by the in-house legal team
• Employment tribunal case management and representation
• Use of LiveHRDocs which stores and automatically updates key legal documentation such as contracts of employment and employee handbooks

Symatrix has now been with esphr for nine years and during the time working together, esphr has helped the company navigate the hurdles of an ambitious, growing business.

This included several restructures, the challenge of employee relations issues which inevitably arose with the period of rapid growth and a couple of challenging and lengthy employment tribunal claims.

Managing Director Chris Brooks explains the greatest value offered by esphr to Symatrix is the depth of legal advice in helping the company make appropriate, commercial decisions.
