Jump to table of contents

Support from Co-operatives UK

We offer our members unique access to the best support from some of the UK’s leading advisors on co-operative HR, with a range of support packages designed to suit your needs.

HR package 

We want to help you to be the best employer you can be. Starting from £1,200 + VAT a year, our HR package lets you contact us for advice and support with all things HR and employment law related, whenever you need it. 

With the HR package you get: 

  • High-quality advice, support and guidance in HR policy, law, reward, and benefits
  • A subscription to Brightmine, the most comprehensive online source of HR compliance, best practice, and benchmarking information
  • A copy of our template employment handbook
  • Access to benchmarking information from other co-operatives
  • The chance to meet and engage with other members to share innovations in best practice 

Template employment handbook 

We understand that getting to grips with HR can be challenging for new and growing co-operatives. If your co-operative needs to get its HR policies and procedures in place and doesn’t subscribe to our HR package, the template employment handbook is for you. It’s an expert tool to help you to be a great employer. 

Priced at £499 + VAT, it contains all the key employment policies that we recommend organisations have in place as soon as they start employing people. It’s fully amendable and customisable and is ideal for co-operatives that: 

  • Are newly formed
  • Are just starting to employ people
  • Don’t have a dedicated HR function 

Bespoke consultancy
