Workplace Compass
Give your HR team and people managers the tools to handle everyday employment issues with confidence.
Workplace Compass brings practical guidance, templates and employment documents together in one easy-to-use online portal. Every resource is maintained and quality assured by VWV's employment lawyers. When you need a reliable answer, you can use guidance that has already been checked by legal experts, without having to judge whether an AI-generated answer is accurate or applies to your situation.
At the heart of Workplace Compass are our detailed how-to guides, designed to help HR professionals and line managers understand and manage core employment processes from start to finish. Each guide comes with an accompanying suite of practical templates, ready to download and adapt for your workplace.
What do you get
Your portal also includes a template contract of employment and a set of core employment policies, providing a strong foundation for your organisation's employment documentation.
And Workplace Compass does more than provide documents. Our Employment Rights Act 2025 tracker helps you keep ahead of the significant changes being introduced under the Act. You'll receive email notifications ahead of key developments, explaining what is changing and the practical steps your organisation should take to prepare.
When you need to manage an employee exit, our settlement agreement questionnaire provides a simple way to capture the information we need. Complete the questionnaire through the portal and our employment lawyers will prepare a draft settlement agreement tailored to the individual employee and your circumstances. Premium subscribers can also download our template settlement agreement directly from the portal.
Most importantly, Workplace Compass isn't simply a library of static templates. All of the content is maintained and quality assured by VWV's expert employment lawyers, so you can be confident that the resources your team relies on remain practical, accurate and up to date. The resources are designed to work hand in hand with tailored legal advice when you need it, with flexible ways to access that support. Our lawyers take a pragmatic approach: we will help you understand your options and apply the law in a way that works for your organisation and its people.
