Case Study

Asta Research Labs (ARL) is an innovative scientific organisation. Its goal is to
research digital health solutions and transform medicine development in the
future. It is a small UK company based in Cambridge and until recently employed 30 staff. It was set up by two biologists around five years ago, and they manage the operations of the company in addition to carrying out their
own research.

Due to the global pandemic, ARL have received funding from a number of
organisations to develop its research, which has resulted in the recruitment of
over 60 new staff, including 15 managers. The recruited managers are excellent biologists but have limited management experience dealing with HR-related matters.

Up until recently, the organisation has not had a HR department, with most HR tasks carried out by one of the Senior Directors. However, a number of grievances and employment cases have been raised and must be
addressed.
