The Director’s Guide to Employment Risk in Ireland includes practical guidance for founders and directors who want to prevent employment related issues before they become expensive.
Managing people in a growing business often becomes more complex before it becomes more obvious. Employment issues tend to arise at moments that feel routine, such as, hiring, probation, absence, performance management.
Decisions made at these points can carry long-term risk if they are handled informally or inconsistently.
Our Directors guide is designed to support founders and directors of growing SMEs who are managing employment matters without in-house HR support, and who want to make sound, defensible decisions without an ongoing retainer.
It helps businesses bring clarity and consistency to how employment issues are handled, particularly at points where risk often arises. The focus is on practical judgement and proportionate process, rather than policy-heavy or legalistic responses.
Our guide is intended to give decision-makers confidence in how they approach people management issues day to day, while helping them recognise when an issue can be managed internally and when external advice is appropriate. It supports better decision-making, reduces avoidable risk, and provides a clear reference point when situations feel uncertain or time-sensitive.
The Director’s Guide to Employment Risk in Ireland includes:
The Directors Guide
A comprehensive operating guide for founders and directors, designed to support sound employment decisions throughout the lifecycle of employment in an SME.
It addresses the situations that most often create risk, from recruitment through to exits, with a focus on fair process, proportionate responses, and defensible decision-making, rather than policy-heavy or theoretical approaches.
Access Curated Resource Library
Access is provided to a carefully curated library of practical resources designed to support the application of the framework in real situations.
Resources are made available on an as-needed basis and are aligned to the issues most commonly encountered by founders and directors, such as probation management, underperformance, absence, disciplinary process, grievances, and exits. The emphasis is on clarity, proportionality, and good judgement, rather than exhaustive documentation.
Two 30-Minute Consultation Calls
Two 30-minute consultation calls, which can be booked at any point within 12 months of access. The call is intended to provide practical guidance on the application of the framework to a specific situation, helping founders and directors sense-check their approach, identify risk, and decide on appropriate next steps.
The consultation is advisory in nature and focused on decision-making and process, rather than case management. It is particularly useful where an issue feels unclear, time-sensitive, or difficult to handle internally, and where an external perspective is needed before action is taken.
The Director’s Guide to Employment Risk in Ireland is €500 + VAT and includes 12 months’ access.
If you move to an ongoing retainer, this fee is credited against your first month.
