The latest edition of ADVOCATE is now available to read online. Our quarterly magazine aims to educate and update on the current topical matters that affect the SME community.

In addition to updating on the latest advo news, in this quarter’s issue our experts discuss issues around payroll, benefits and HR.

In this edition we focus on flexible working and the increasing requests from employees post pandemic. We look at the thorny subject of holiday leave entitlement given the recent disruption to holidays and what staff are entitled to and take a closer look at the increasingly popular ‘unlimited’ holiday and whether the reports are actually true. Staying with staff leave we investigate the pros and cons of offering leave for volunteering and whether a 4-day working week is realistic.

We look at what we believe is the unsung hero of employee benefits, the EAP and look at why all employers should give staff access, and why engaging your employees in the business is so important.

Woman’s good health has its own specific issues, we look at how to create a female friendly working environment.
