Fingal Dublin Chamber in association with Chambers Ireland recently launched an initiative to assist affiliated chamber members in the increasingly difficult business area of human resources management. (HRM)

In partnership with Peninsula Business Services, Chamber HR is now available to all chamber members.

Though it provides many varying services, Chamber HR’s primary objective is the prevention of problems in the HRM area, including breaking down and explaining the often difficult-to-understand world of employment legislation and employers liabilities.

Depending on the level of service a company opts for it can receive:

• 24-hour a day, 365-days a year HRM advice line
• An indemnification against the negative financial costs of resisting a claim in the Employment Appeals Tribunal or Labour Relations Commission as well as an indemnity against having to pay possible awards that can be made against the respondent
• A full face to face consultation service, which includes a comprehensive management control providing staff contracts of employment, employee handbooks for all staff, employer’s references and all recording documentation, as well as full training for the nominated users of the system
• Continuous updates on new EU and Government legislation in the area of HRM.

“This initiative will make a huge difference to members,” Peter Done concludes. “The CCI doesn’t offer a HRM consultancy service at the moment so it is a great thing to introduce. The ideal aspect of this system is how flexible it is. The Seven different options available mean all companies, no matter what their budget or circumstances, can benefit from some part of this service, which is exclusive to chamber members”

For more information on the service contact the chamber on 8900977.
