For first class employers
Acorn Support are here to be your trusted HR partner, to coach and support you in your employment relationships, with the focus on your business objectives. To help you through the complex world of people, employment law and life.
I highly recommend Claire Lawton and her team at Acorn. I have known and used Claires services over the last 3 years, always very professional and helps to reach the goals you choose with in your business. For me the added value was I could pick up the phone and get a response immediately. Now we use Acorn every time we employ and follow their procedures without hesitation…
When a member of our staff was coming to the end of his apprenticeship, we wanted to offer him a permanent full-time position. Had we not consulted Claire Lawton we could have made some very costly mistakes.
Claire advised us to offer a contract of employment as well as an employee handbook. This gave our staff member reasurance of his rights and responsibility as well as a sense of stability. We were also advised to not put a probationary period as he had already proved his worthiness.
The advice and guidance we received is priceless, and I would not hesitate to recommend Acorn Support. Thank you.
Claire and the team at Acorn are awesome.
Their knowledge or HR combined with a really compassionate approach to how they serve their clients is both refreshing and effective.
If any of my clients and network have an HR issue, it’s pretty obvious who I signpost them to.
Executive Training and Consultancy Ltd has been expanding over the past few years and is increasing the number of Consultants around the UK, as a result I needed to recruit and put in place an Administration Manager.
I spoke to Claire to get some help with the interviewing and setting out a contract of employment etc.
Claire did the interviewing with me which was great, and we had fun during the process it was a delight to work with her.
As a result, I appointed a new person that has now started. At the point when I was ready to bring the new staff member on board Claire was on holiday, but that was no a problem as Jo one of the Acorn team was able to sort out the letter of engagement and contract so I could get the job done.
My new Admin Manager Jenny is now in place.
Claire and the team at Acorn are professional and fun to work with, I would highly recommend them to any business that needs HR help.
I needed help with some new contracts for some new starters and we also needed a brand new staff hand book.
After just 24 hours of instructing Claire I received back the new contracts. Which needed very little amendments and just needed me to fill in the personal details. This allowed me to send them over to our new starters without delay.
Claire and her team at Acorn are highly efficient, fast and affordable – I highly recommend them to anyone who needs HR support.
So who are Acorn?
We know that a great team is key to a successful business, and we believe in supporting you as a first class employer.
