Peninsula Business support

Pulling your hair out over HR?

You might work in the beauty sector, but there are no shortcuts when it comes to salon HR.

The hair and beauty industry is fast-paced and hands-on. And whilst you might thrive on providing superb services to your customers, your HR management may need a makeover.

Whether you're dealing with a self-employed beauty therapist, or finding it difficult to support staff wellbeing - there's a lot you need to consider. It might not seem like a priority, but if you fail to ensure your compliance, you could face legal, reputational, and financial damage.

This is why so many beauty employers outsource their HR to Peninsula. Our services include help with:

Essential HR documentation, like staff contracts and policies.

Tangled up in legal paperwork? Get help with Peninsula's documentation service

HR management involves several pieces of employment legislation - and other regulations - that you must comply with. This includes the:

Employment Rights Act (1996).

Not only do you have to provide an adequate working environment for your employees, you are also legally required to draft certain individual documents. But, without extensive employment law knowledge - you might find it difficult to get them created.

That's where Peninsula can help. With unlimited documentation support, you’ll receive expert-made:

Grievance and disciplinary procedures.

So, whilst you manage clients, we'll assist you with your HR documentation. Not to mention, we'll even update them when legislation changes too.

Peninsula's Employee Assistance Programme supports staff when they're feeling frazzled

From ensuring customer satisfaction to finding time to brush up on their techniques, beauty professionals have a lot to deal with.

Whilst they might love what they do - working long hours, dealing with difficult clients, and being on their feet all day can all negatively impact their mental health. And, it's your responsibility to protect their wellbeing at work as much as possible.

When you outsource your HR to Peninsula, your employees can access our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) as an optional extra.

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 how thousands of UK employers boost wellbeing, productivity, and attendance rates.

Having a bad HR day? Use Peninsula's 24/7 advice line for support on an urgent matter

Hair and beauty treatments will likely take up a lot of your time. And so can your HR if not managed properly. But, if you're a small business owner, you might struggle to prioritise both. Not to mention, if a problem arises when you least expect it - it could negatively impact your company's operation.

Here are some of the most common HR issues in a hair and beauty business:

Confirming employment status of rent-a-chair staff, contractors, or self-employed workers.

Workplace conflict between salon staff.

And while these issues are common, you might not have the in-house experience to resolve them on your own.

By working with us, you have access to a 24/7 helpline - 365 days a year. So no matter the problem, or date, our HR consultants can support you with whatever issues you face.

Peninsula gives me confidence and clarity I’m applying employment law correctly in tricky situations. Having advice means that, when we go back to employees, our voice is more confident and it's easier to be consistent across the board with our managers
