The following factors are the reasons employers might find it difficult to choose a suitable employment law and Human Resource Management Specialist.
- Employers do not always have sufficient knowledge about employment law that will assist them to judge whether the”expert” is really what they say they are.
- There are a lot of “labour specialists” around. The advert may look impressive, but it may be an oversell.
- The referral you received could come from a friend of the consultant!
- Consultants’ fees can be so low that they can cloud your judgment.
The following are what you should look for when choosing a consultant
- Have relevant advanced qualifications in the field
- Have substantial experience as a practitioner in the field
- Must have successfully defended companies in similar and different cases
- He/she has real experience to protect your business not just articles written about how to succeed
- Solid industry experience in the areas they are consulting on.
- Have access to the latest employment statuses and case law decisions
- The billing fee is not too low or too high, but affordable for your budget.
- Be there when needed for all relevant matters and not choose issues that are easy to solve.
- No hidden fees.
- Must be honest enough to disclose when they do have the necessary expertise on a matter
- They must be willing to inform you when there are no prospects of success on your case.
