Natural HR – the solution for any law firm

The traditional structure of the legal sector doesn’t lend itself to a simple HR setup. A matrix reporting structure, ongoing development and legally required performance reviews are only a small part of what HR teams need to plan for. Having recently been hit hard by “the great resignation” and staff turnover up on previous years, recruitment and retention are also a focal point for many firms this year.

This is where Natural HR’s all-in-one HR and payroll software can help you:

88%

of Top 100 UK law firms are concerned a shortage of talent will stop them meeting their ambitions

10%

of solicitors had at least one day off due to stress in the last year

28%

staff turnover experienced in the legal sector as a result of “the great resignation”

Challenges facing the legal sector...

1

Attract and retain top talent

An ongoing war for talent in the legal sector has resulted in the top firms refining their salary and benefit packages. To remain competitive legal HR teams need to consider not only salary packages, but also hybrid and flexible working, health and wellbeing and showcasing your company culture right from when job listings go live.
2

Upskill your workforce

Continuing competence for those working in law requires the development of skills and expertise constantly. The need for lawyers to remain abreast of legal changes can mean an ever-developing workforce for HR to keep track of through performance appraisals, employee development and competency tracking.
3

Give your employees a voice

High employee engagement can lead to improved talent retention, better operational efficiency, client satisfaction and financial performance. Giving your employees a platform to share their thoughts and gather employee sentiment is key to a happy firm, with pulse surveys and 360 feedback this becomes a breeze.

It’s no secret that the legal profession is a fast paced and stressful working environment. With tight deadlines and high workloads, HR teams need the ability to spot struggling employees before it develops into a serious issue.
