HR policies

On this page, you can find links to HR policies for people working at Esmée. As well as providing guidance on employment issues including the range of benefits available to staff, they ensure that we carry out our responsibilities as an employer with consideration and consistency.

Our HR policies and practices are reviewed annually and updated as appropriate. They're also checked by Esmée's HR advisers every two years to ensure they meet best practice.
