DATE: 11th November 2024
Episode 36: The Importance of Wills and Probate for Business Owners and Consultants
Guest: Scott Walker, Scott Walker (and Consultant at Richard Nelson Solicitors)
In this episode of HR Voices, host Mary Asante is joined by Scott Walker, a Wills and Probate expert who explains the often daunting topic of wills in a way that makes it less mysterious and easier to understand. Scott and Mary discuss why every business owner, consultant, or self-employed individual should have a will in place to protect their assets and loved ones.
In this episode we cover:
What is a Will? Scott breaks down the basic concept of a will and why it's vital for ensuring your assets—property, money, business, and personal possessions—are passed on to the people you care about.Why Everyone Needs a Will: Learn why having a will is not just about death but also about planning for the future and securing the financial future of your loved ones or your business.What Happens if You Don’t Have a Will: Scott explains the legal implications of not having a will in place, including how the intestacy rules decide what happens to your assets, especially in the absence of a spouse, children, or a valid will.The Importance of Wills for Business Owners and Consultants: Whether you're a sole trader, part of a partnership, or own shares in a limited company, having a will ensures your business can continue running smoothly or that your assets are passed on according to your wishes.Power of Attorney and Business Protection: Scott also touches on the importance of having a lasting power of attorney in place, particularly for business owners, to ensure the continuity of business operations should you become incapacitated.Key Takeaways:
A will is essential for ensuring your assets, including your business, are passed on to the people you choose, rather than being left to the intestacy rules.Planning for your future, even before death, is important, especially for business owners who need to ensure the smooth transition of their business assets.A lasting power of attorney is just as crucial as a will, as it ensures your business or personal affairs can continue to be managed if you are unable to do so due to illness.Top Tips from Scott Walker:
Know Your ‘Why’: Understand the reason you’re creating a will and take time to plan what assets you have and who you want them to go to.Start Conversations About Death and Illness: Talking openly about death can help you plan better and live well by securing the future for yourself and your loved ones.Consider a Lasting Power of Attorney: This allows someone you trust to manage your business or personal affairs in case you become ill or incapacitated, ensuring continuity.Thanks for listening to HR Voices!

Guest: Lucinda Carney, Founder of Actus Software and Host of HR Uprising Podcast
In this episode of HR Voices, Mary Asante is joined by Lucinda Carney, a trusted partner of HR Independents and a renowned expert in performance management. Lucinda shares her wealth of experience, discussing how businesses can use performance management as a strategic tool to enhance both individual and business-wide success.
In this episode we cover:
Demystifying Performance Management: Lucinda breaks down the buzzwords and discusses how performance management is often misunderstood, explaining why it's much more than an annual appraisal.Performance Management as a Continuous Process: Learn how ongoing conversations, clear goal-setting, and regular feedback form the backbone of an effective performance management system.Aligning Performance with Strategic Goals: Discover how performance management can ensure everyone is working towards the same business objectives and how it helps smaller businesses, in particular, to grow and mature.The Manager’s Role in Performance Management: Lucinda emphasizes the importance of equipping managers with the skills to support their teams, particularly in difficult conversations around underperformance.Overcoming Challenges: The episode also addresses common objections from leaders and managers, including the time investment required for regular performance check-ins, and how to overcome these barriers by embedding performance management into the company culture.Key Takeaways:
Performance management should be a year-round, cyclical process rather than a one-time event focused solely on appraisals or bonuses.Effective performance management helps align individual goals with the overall strategic direction of the business, particularly for SMEs.Regular people-focused conversations can drive engagement, productivity, and ultimately, business success.Training managers in effective communication, coaching, and handling difficult conversations is key to making performance management work.Top Tips from Lucinda Carney:
Make Performance Management a Strategic Tool: Align the process with the business's strategic goals and ensure managers are clear on expectations.Equip Managers with Skills and Confidence: Give managers the training and tools they need to carry out effective performance management.Engage Employees in the Process: Encourage employees to take ownership of their own development and performance by fostering open, two-way conversations.Thanks for listening to HR Voices!
