Problem
Hank did not expect his hobby to take off the way it did, and never intended to do it full time.
With this in mind, the ownership was taken over but as the business continued to grow, the need became clear to implement more formal employment processes and documentation as soon as possible.
In addition, there were so many questions regarding staff, their entitlements and the overall employment obligations that the new owners were uncertain of where to turn. Following advice from their business accountant, they contacted Peninsula.
What We Did
“Our accountant suggested we speak with Peninsula and it is the best thing we ever did.”
One of Peninsula’s specialist consultant visited Hank’s Jam and conducted a workplace review of all employment practices, procedures and any policies in place, identifying gaps and areas which required improvement or change.
Peninsula provided Hank’s Jam with much needed comprehensive and tailored documentation including employee handbooks and contracts, while providing advice on how to implement them into the business.
The Result
Peace of mind.
Hank’s Jam loves knowing Peninsula is there whenever they need. They have experienced a few concerns but with Peninsula’s help, the issues were quickly and professionally addressed before negatively affecting the business.
The result.
Prior to joining Peninsula, Hank’s had so many questions and did not know where to begin looking for answers. Nor did they have the confidence that any answers found were correct.
The business now has the assurance to know they are meeting their obligations as an employer. 2016 is presenting Hank’s Jam with more and more opportunity to launch into new markets and their next phase of growth. Knowing they are ready and prepared, with Peninsula right beside them, provides the extra confidence that they are set up for success.
“It gives me peace of mind knowing I can ring at any time.”
