HR support for care businesses

People management in care brings sensitive conversations, demanding working patterns and a strong need for dependable records. We help with the employment and management processes behind your service, shaped around your workforce and activities.

We start with your situation, agree the priorities and help put the next steps into practice. Our purpose is to give you time back and solve the puzzle with you and for you.

People, safety and records working together

Practical HR support

Work through absence, wellbeing, performance, conduct and manager conversations with practical support. We help organise contracts, policies and the documents needed to take agreed next steps.

Health & Safety support

Talk through the risks connected with the work your employees carry out and the premises they use. We will agree the scope of any review and explain when specialist input is needed for a particular activity. The HSE’s care setting risk assessment guidance is a useful reference for balancing safety and individual needs.

Employee management software

Bring employee records, onboarding tasks, training records, documents and sign-off into the EPL Hub. Help managers find information and keep follow-up connected with the people it concerns.

Where the everyday work needs support

Staff records and induction

Coordinate documents and onboarding actions so managers know what is complete and what still needs attention.

Sensitive people conversations

Get help considering the circumstances and supporting managers through the next step.

Training follow-up

Keep recorded learning and development actions organised alongside employee information.

Start with the issue that is taking your time

Start by telling us about your service, roles and management structure. We will focus on the people processes or records that are causing difficulty and agree a practical scope. The Hub can support employee administration; it is not presented as a clinical care-record system.

Choose a single service or discuss HR, Health & Safety and software together. Your proposal will set out the work included, the responsibilities and the fees before you decide.

Your care support questions

Can the Hub replace clinical records?

The Hub is for employee management and related records. We will demonstrate its actual tools and clarify the boundaries of the proposed setup.

Do you guarantee an inspection rating?

No. We can support agreed HR and Health & Safety processes and records, but inspection decisions remain with the relevant regulator.

Can we start with one issue?

Yes. Explain the situation and we will discuss the support available. We can begin with a specific piece of work or agree ongoing support around your business.

Do we need to buy the software?

No. Discuss advice, software or combined support with us. If the Hub could help, we will show you the relevant tools and confirm the modules and setup in your proposal.

Can we request a free review first?

Yes. Choose an HR review, contract, handbook, policy, risk assessment or COSHH assessment on our free workplace review page. Tell us what you want to understand so we can agree the focus.

Give your managers a clearer next step

Tell us about your workforce and the puzzle you need help solving.

Keep workforce records organised around your care team

Bring employee information, training records, leave and document follow-up together. Discuss your access needs and existing processes; the Hub supports workforce administration and does not replace a clinical or care-record system.

Leave, attendance and the forthcoming rota

Holiday and absence

Keep requests and absence records visible so managers can check the information behind staffing decisions.

Tap In/Out

Connect time recording and timesheets with employee information. Walk through your actual working patterns in a demo.

Rota — launching soon

Explore our existing design previews for shifts connected to holiday, absence and attendance. Final release scope will be confirmed before rollout.

Named experts who get to know your business

Speak to the relevant named adviser when you need help. Our HR advisers’ individual qualifications and experience are detailed in our team profiles. Our Health & Safety consultants are NEBOSH-qualified, with fire experts available for specialist support. Advice is tailored to your sector, workplace and the people involved.

We help complete the work

Your HR work, followed through

From onboarding and letter writing to employee relations, we work through the situation with you. You can arrange on-site support to manage difficult conversations.

Practical work at your workplace

Our safety team can visit your site, complete risk assessments and look at the risks in your actual operation. We agree the work and responsibilities with you.

Accountability and continuity

Your named advisers understand the context and help carry the work through. You receive specific support for your business, with a clear agreement about what we will complete.

Support you choose to stay with

Choose pay-as-you-go support or a straightforward 12-month support agreement. We keep the agreed price unchanged during your term. If you feel we are not helping or providing the support you need, speak to us: EPL’s commitment is to let you leave the agreement.

Software is month by month, with the flexibility to move up or down as your needs change. We will explain your package, the work included and the terms clearly before you join.

A supported start, with follow-through built in

Four software installation days

01 · Administrators

We set up your administrators first and walk through the foundations of your system with them.

02 · Managers

We work with managers on the tools and processes they will use to support their teams.

03 · Employees

We help employees get started and understand how to use their part of the Hub.

04 · Review and complete

We return to check the setup, answer questions and make sure you are properly onboarded. Our technical team walks and talks you through it until you are happy.

An action plan we stay accountable for

Audit-led support

We start by auditing your HR and Health & Safety needs, then create an action plan for the year ahead and work with you to complete it.

Monthly contact

If you have not contacted us during the month, we contact you. It is a chance to pick up people issues, new risks and the puzzles your managers need help solving.

Quarterly safety reviews

We review Health & Safety progress with you each quarter, walk through the action plan and help complete outstanding work. You can hold us accountable for that follow-through.

Already have an audit? Let’s get its actions completed.

If you join EPL with an existing audit, we use its findings to complete the tasks as part of your onboarding and welcome to EPL. We agree the actions with you and get to work.

For ongoing clients, the next review is about progress. If actions remain outstanding, we help complete them rather than simply repeating the previous year’s audit and handing over the same list again. Our focus is the value you receive and the work completed for your business.
