A great utility for the team with updated resources. I especially liked the quiz section that tests the users understanding on an employment issue. I would definitely recommend the app to others.

HE Create and Consult (HE C&C) is part of the HardingEvans Group whose core activity is the provision of legal services to a client base across England and Wales.

HE Create and Consult was formed with the specific aim to develop innovative service delivery solutions. HE C&C delivers those solutions not only to the HE Group but works with other third parties to white label products and services.

The app was developed as part of a strategic review into how law firms deliver, and clients buy employment law and HR advice services. A key feature is the apps delivery of immediate, plain English help and know how in a variety of formats including audio, video and text. Its purpose is to assist managers and those responsible for dealing with employees in a variety of employment matters. HardingEvans Solicitors will use the app as they have recognised that it will deliver on part of their strategic objective, to deliver online legal and additional advice to their employment clients through new technologies.

Company Details

We have enjoyed working closely with CEMAS, collaborating our thoughts and ideas. CEMAS have supported us from the beginning of the process from applying for the funding to building the app throughout. The project has ended, the support has not. Clayton and Stevan have provided the support we needed and contributed significantly to its success.

We believe this project demonstrates how collaboration between the academic and commercial sectors can benefit SMEs such as ours. Without the support from CEMAS and the associated funding we would not have been able to provide this technology. The engagement with CEMAS has given us the ability to use their knowledge and experience to benefit our business, and resulted in a dynamic product offering. Our thanks go out to all involved.

Developing the HR in Hand app for HE C&C was an interesting project to undertake, especially for the wealth of knowledge the app was making available to the user. It was a project where the user experience was key, requiring a level of creative and innovative thinking in how best to engage the user in a meaningful way. The key features of guides and checklists allow the app to act as a companion piece to any working environment.

Working with HE C&C on this app has been an absolute pleasure, and with the formation of a dedicated team the app is sure to go from strength to strength.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Joy, Sarah and the rest of the HE C&C team on the development of the app. HR in Hand is a unique training application and a new way for HE C&C to communicate with both existing and potential clients. It provides managers and those responsible for dealing with employees with a vital source of up to date information that is presented in a range of formats. Im thrilled that CEMAS were able to play a key role in the production of HR in Hand and Im sure it will be an invaluable tool for many organisations.
