HR Is Not Your Friend

£0.00

HR works for your employer. That's not a scandal, and plenty of HR people are decent and good at their jobs, but it matters a great deal the moment your interests and the company's stop lining up. This book explains how that plays out: why a quiet word in confidence can turn into a meeting about your performance, why a grievance can end with a finding that 'the relationship has broken down', and why being treated unfairly and having a legal claim are two very different things.

It walks through the whole territory, from contracts, grievances and disciplinaries to discrimination, whistleblowing, performance plans, sick leave, restructures, settlement offers and tribunals, with the law as it stood in October 2026, including the Employment Rights Act changes already in force and those still to come. There's room for Kafka, Gas Light and Severance along the way, and a toolkit at the back with checklists, templates and deadline worksheets for when you're in the middle of it.
