Johnston Consulting

At Johnston Consulting, we understand the unique challenges faced by businesses, particularly those in the critical early stages of growth. With over 20 years of experience in employment law and HR, our founder and principal consultant, Scott Johnston, a qualified Barrister-at-Law, brings a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to every client engagement.

Our services are designed to empower small businesses to navigate the complex world of employment law, build strong teams, and thrive in a competitive market. We recognise that managing people, particularly when you lack the resources of a dedicated HR department, can be a daunting task. That's why we offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet your specific needs.

Protecting Your Business: Employment Law and Tribunal Expertise

We believe in a proactive approach to managing employment-related risks. Our advice covers the full spectrum of employment law, from contract drafting and policy creation to disciplinary procedures and redundancy processes. We ensure your business operates within the bounds of the law, minimising the risk of costly disputes and tribunal claims.

Our deep understanding of Employment Tribunal proceedings equips us to represent both employers and employees effectively. Whether you need to navigate a complex grievance, defend a wrongful dismissal claim, or assert your rights as an employee, we provide robust legal counsel and advocacy.

Empowering Your Team: Performance, Relationships and Skills Development

Beyond legal compliance, we focus on creating positive and productive work environments. We offer training programmes tailored to enhance managerial skills, improve team dynamics, and boost employee engagement.

Our approach goes beyond traditional training methods. We use a 'coach-approach' to support managers in understanding and addressing individual employee needs. We believe that investing in your team's development is an investment in your business's future success.

The People Power Programme: A Holistic Solution for Small Businesses

Recognising the unique challenges faced by small businesses, we designed the "People Power Programme" to provide a comprehensive and accessible solution. This tailored programme is specifically designed for companies with a small to medium workforce, offering practical guidance and support in three key areas: Employment Law Compliance, Team Management and Skills Development.

By addressing these areas, the 'People Power Programme' empowers you to:

• Minimise legal risk: Ensure your business adheres to all relevant employment laws and regulations, reducing the likelihood of costly disputes.

• Build a strong team: Develop effective communication, trust, and collaboration within your workforce, fostering a more positive and productive work environment.
