How we helped


Neathouse Partners provides British Exploring Society bespoke, non-partisan support in numerous areas of HR and employment law.

The organisation works with a pool of volunteers, freelancers and board members for whom we have produced compliant documentation.

Benefits and outcomes

Employment Contracts – Laying out expectations at the beginning of an employment term is vital. Neathouse Partners has given BES guidance with drafting and updating employment/volunteer contracts to protect both parties.
HR Policies – Having the right HR policies and procedures in place is vital for companies of all sizes, and we have given BES advice on the best policies for them, based on their size, the number of employees, and issues they may face going forward.
Maternity – Every company needs to handle maternity situations, allowing pregnant employees to feel secure and supported. We have advised them on their responsibilities towards maternity for staff, including how this impacts employment, pay, and filling roles in a way that complies with employment law.
Absenteeism – Staff sickness can be one of the most difficult situations to approach. We have given BES advice on how to write and explain a sickness policy for employees, how to deal with issues that surround staff sickness, including long-term sickness, unexplained absences, and how to appropriately approach staff who may be taking a large number of sick days.
