If you work for a decent-sized company, you’ve been forced to sit through a presentation by the Human Resources department reviewing your benefits. I guess they’re less liable if they can prove they’ve wasted an hour of your time reading from a company brochure. Read the benefits when businesses choose to outsource HR for small businesses in the UK. Here’s a list of questions to ask your HR representative during the presentation. Caution: for amusement only. Not liable for discontinued employment. Please view the site disclaimer. If you also want to build a cohesive brand with uniforms, contact an expert from Total Image Group.
