Welcome to The Work ShopThe Work Shop was established in June 2001 by two recruitment veterans who wanted to offer more personal and contemporary services to employers throughout the area. We are centrally located at 4 Pedlars Walk in Ringwood and 1 Didcot Road, Poole to serve the counties of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. The offices are located so as to be able to comfortably service clients in Bournemouth, Poole, Ringwood, Christchurch, Lymington, Salisbury, Wareham, Dorchester and all of the towns in between. Our aim is to provide local companies with a recruitment service second to none - combining the vibrancy of a new business, with over 20 years experience within the industry. As a truly independent recruitment consultancy, we are committed to providing an unparalleled service to our clients with both high quality permanent and temporary workers available. We also make sure all of our candidates are treated the way they should be - with respect and professionalism.
The Ringwood Business Summer BallWe are delighted to be working with Simply Events to bring you the first Ringwood Business Summer Ball. This elegant event will take place on Saturday 14th September set in a beautiful marquee within the prestigious grounds of Old Somerley, Ringwood – a perfectly preserved Victorian walled garden which is part of an historical 7,000 acre estate close to Ringwood town. This event is for local businesses, their colleagues, staff and associates to join together and celebrate the success of business in Ringwood and the surrounding area. It will be an evening with a distinctly elegant feel, with a black tie dress code, sumptuous menu for the guests using local produce and dancing to local and highly acclaimed band "Soulstar", enjoying other entertainment and full bar facilities. This is not a charity event which means that guests can concentrate on enjoying a friendly social and business event that will attract 200 key business owners and professionals from Ringwood and the surrounding area. For further information and ticket prices please go to the Simply Events website. You can also contact us directly on phil@thework-shop.co.uk and 01425 489393 or Hazel at Simply Events on hazel@simply-events.com and 01202 233225.
AGENCY WORKERS REGULATIONS - NEW LEGISLATION
The Government have been preparing to introduce new employment legislation on 1 October this year called AWR (Agency Worker Regulations). The basics of this legislation are to ensure that temporary staff are provided with some of the same rights as permanent members of staff. Primarily this includes pay rates, working conditions and holiday pay (although these are not all). In order to prepare for the introduction of this new legislation The Work Shop is more than happy to explain more about what the legislation requires employers and employees to do and what information we require. If you would like to discuss any aspect of AWR or would like a copy of our information document please call us on 01425 489393 or email us at info@thework-shop.co.uk. |
