Second edition: 2017

ISBN: 978-0995559424

Project type: books, design

We were approached by human resources expert Simon Jones to help fine-tune his vision for Happy Working Relationships: the small business guide to managing people and employment law (to give it its full title), having known Simon for the best part of 20 years.

Simon knows HR like the back of his hand and wanted to effectively communicate that expertise for small businesses striding out on their own and making a difference.

The book’s main focus is on managing people, as well as spinning out some of the trickier aspects of employment law, often overlooked in small business land.

We helped Simon meld that expertise with a warm, straightforward tone creating an essential tool for the small business world we work in. We project managed the book, editing and structuring it. We made sure Simon hit his deadlines and fed back on the content from a reader’s perspective.

We also proofed and designed it – and worked on an updated second edition, last year. Simon uses the book as a tool for his business and the businesses he works with. Practical and easy to use and reference, any small business should be using it.
