Peninsula Business support

Finding difficulty with your human resources (HR)?

Within a transport and warehousing business, it’s vital that your employees work in cohesion. This is so they can meet the demands of each section in the supply chain. To ensure this happens, you need to have effective HR management.

But - as a business owner, it can be hard to find time to review and implement your HR practices - especially if you’re a small company. And if you fail to manage your HR - it could result in legal non-compliance. As a result, your business could face financial and reputational damages.

That’s why many transport and warehousing businesses choose to outsource their HR needs to Peninsula. Our customers can enjoy:

Essential HR documentation, like staff contracts and policies.

Award-winning wellbeing support for staff.

Unlimited support to deal with any HR issue.

Our watertight documentation service ensures your legal compliance

As a business in the logistics sector, you have several pieces of transport employment law that you must comply with. These include the:

Working Time Regulations.

Employment Rights Act (1996).

Equality Act (2010).

Some of these laws require you to create certain documentation, such as providing a statement of main terms to all your employees. But, without the legal knowledge, experience or expertise, you might struggle to ensure these documents are legally compliant.

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

Grievance and disciplinary procedures.

Policies.

So whilst you continue to take your business in the right direction, we'll assist you with your HR documentation. Not to mention, we'll even update them when legislation changes too.
