“I attended the HR Essentials workshop as part of the Accelerator Programme for businesses based in Bassetlaw, and I found it extremely valuable. Sarah Loates was highly knowledgeable, delivered the content in a friendly and engaging way, and clearly tailored it to the specific needs of the Accelerator businesses on our course.

I particularly benefited from the clear explanation of the proposed employment law changes for 2026, including the introduction of day one rights. This knowledge gave me ideas for new training products for my leadership development business. The workshop also gave me practical ideas about employing my first employee, especially around using a term-time contract versus a full-time role. This insight meant I was able to employ someone sooner than I had originally planned.

I would 100% recommend this course to other businesses in the local area. It was genuinely useful to me both personally, in terms of developing new business ideas, and professionally, in supporting the growth of my business."
