Managing people can be tough. We can help.

Agile HR provides Lockton/Unum customers with an array of people management resources to help you support your employees.

You’ll find content below to support with every aspect of the employment lifecycle, from hiring through to exiting. Agile HR also provides:

  • HR Support Service – email support for specific queries
  • HR reading material
  • Customisable template documents.

The template documents assist with day-to-day HR issues that may arise in your business. Some documents have wording that you can personalise to your business — we’ve highlighted these areas for you within the templates.*

And, if you’re not sure where to start, consider an Agile HR Business Review. Available for businesses with up to 250 employees, this once-a-year, virtual service provides a high-level overview of your company’s people strategy, highlighting any challenges you might face and suggesting areas for further development. You’ll get a follow up email detailing the discussion and proposed actions.

Attract
Attract

This section is to support you in the process of identifying, attracting and interviewing candidates, whether face to face or virtually. If you’re looking to hire a new person into your team and need guidance on recruitment and interviewing applicants, you’ve come to the right place.

Hire
Hire

You have found your perfect candidate, and you want to offer them a job with the right employment contract and offer details. These details form the cornerstone of a person’s long-term employment, so it’s vital to get robust terms and conditions agreed from day one, if not before! You do not need to wait until someone’s start date to send them their contract of employment. We recommend sending it around the same time you offer the successful candidate the role.

Onboard
Onboard

Your new hire is due to start and will begin their new role within their probationary period. Make sure they are set up for success with a well-planned onboarding schedule and training plan. Getting a clear picture of role and responsibilities from the get-go will aid your employee, as well as benefitting your business to achieve its goals.

Develop
Develop

Keep track of your employees' performance and encourage their development by setting objectives and conducting reviews. Employees who feel like they have clear objectives and a path to develop are more likely to stay with their employer for longer.

Retain
Retain

Support your employees with key life events such as maternity and paternity leave, or changes in their employment such as promotions or job moves.

Offboard

It’s key to ensure you have a well-documented process whatever the circumstances of your employee’s departure from the business, from resignation to dismissal or redundancy.
