HR support for manufacturing

Production targets, shift changes and maintenance priorities can make it difficult to keep people records and actions up to date. We help you work through the management issues and practical improvements that need attention alongside day-to-day operations.

First, we listen to your situation and agree the priorities. Then we help put the next steps into practice. Our HR support for manufacturing aims to give you time back and solve the puzzle with you and for you.

For wider safety context, explore HSE guidance by industry, which covers different production activities. Bring questions about your own people, processes and premises to our team so we can agree the support you need.

People, safety and records working together

Practical HR support

Support supervisors with absence, performance, conduct and difficult conversations. Review contracts and policies, organise the relevant documents and agree a clear process for each people issue.

Health & Safety support

Discuss the risks arising from machinery, handling, substances and production activities. Our advisers help review your arrangements, identify priorities and follow through on actions within the agreed support scope.

Employee management software

Organise employee information, training records, documents and assigned tasks in the Hub. Keep the records behind inductions, policy sign-off and agreed improvements easier for managers to locate.

Where the everyday work needs support

Supervisor confidence

Help people who lead production teams handle management conversations and know when to ask for support.

Induction and training evidence

Keep records and follow-up connected as people join, move roles or take on different activities.

Closing actions

Keep attention on the work agreed after a review, with owners and supporting records visible.

Start with the issue that is taking your time

Bring a production-team process that needs attention. We will understand the people and activities involved, review the records available and agree the next steps with your managers. Support can start with one issue or cover a wider ongoing service.

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.

HR support for manufacturing: your questions

Can you help our supervisors with people management?

Yes. We work through the specific situation with the manager and help with practical next steps and documentation.

Can software support our safety records?

The Hub can organise relevant documents, training records and tasks. Your demo will confirm the modules and setup that fit your processes.

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.

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.
