Wright Hassall is hoping its newest employee will help to keep thousands of staff across the region happy.
Solicitor John Dormer (34) has joined Wright Hassall, as a partner specialising in employee incentives.
He will help businesses to put in place incentive plans to give employees benefits, including rights to acquire company shares or bonus schemes.
John, who has moved to the Leamington-based firm from KPMG’s Birmingham office, said that employee incentives can play a key role in recruiting, retaining and rewarding staff, which, in turn, contributes to the prosperity of a business.
“Wright Hassall has offered employee incentive services in the past but this is the first time a specialist in the field has been given a dedicated role,” John said.
“There’s certainly scope to make our practice one of the best in the Midlands, because it’s not an area that many firms truly specialise in.
“Quality incentive schemes can be the difference between retaining a hard-working, loyal workforce and continually having to permanently replace quality staff.
“We help companies find a balance by linking employees’ rewards to performance so that both the company’s owners and their staff benefit.”
John, who lives in Leamington, has been responsible for multi-million pound incentive arrangements for both key employees along with entire workforces.
Robert Lee, a partner in the corporate team at Wright Hassall, said: “John will bring a wealth of high-quality experience to the firm and will offer a specialist service to companies regionally and nationally.
“His time at KPMG will certainly add a different perspective to how we, as lawyers, approach this area of work and his appointment will help broaden the range of services we can offer.”
