Andy Hague, Managing Director of Croner, says: “Business owners and directors looking to protect and develop their organisations in these tough market conditions should take a look at the way they manage their employees. Good employee management procedures and practices can attract and retain good staff, minimise the risk of costly disputes and, perhaps more importantly, improve profitability and efficiency.

“What makes the Croner Simplify service different it that it is proactive; we don’t wait until after managers realise they have a problem. Our consultant teams are in regular contact with clients and watch out for alerts and triggers from the employee management system. We don’t just advise on immediate issues, we help a business to identify root causes and offer support to prevent problems being repeated in the future.”

• Commercially-focused advice from a dedicated local consultant and a team of qualified and experienced advisers
• Easy administration of employee records, holidays and absence through a web-based employee management system
