HR SUPPORT
Everyday HR, done properly.
Outsourced HR support for organisations that want senior HR expertise on hand when they need it. Some of our clients have no HR function at all. Plenty have established HR teams and bring us in for the work that needs an independent view, specialist experience or simply more capacity than the team has that month. Some come to us for a single employee relations issue, others want an HR partner alongside them month to month. You choose how you buy it, and the standard of advice does not change.
Three ways to work with us
Pay as you go HR support
You pay for the hours you use. We track everything and you get a breakdown of exactly what those hours went on, invoiced monthly on a fixed date.
This works well for organisations dealing with a one off employee relations issue: a grievance that has become complicated, a workplace investigation that needs an independent pair of hands, a disciplinary or a performance management case that has to be handled carefully. It also covers the HR projects that sit outside everyone's day job, whether that is benchmarking your maternity and paternity leave policies against your sector, reviewing your employment contracts and staff handbook, or designing a profit share scheme that actually motivates the people it is meant to reward.
HR project work
Some work has a defined shape from the start. Organisational change and restructures. Redundancy consultation and TUPE transfers. Developing an HR strategy and then delivering it rather than leaving it in a document. Or running your Evida roadmap over an agreed period.
For project work we price the deliverables rather than the hours, so you know what you are getting and what it costs before we start. It is a fixed figure you can budget for.
Between us we have led HR through private equity ownership, business turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions and exits. Get the people side right in those situations and it moves the deal forward: the right leaders retained, cultures integrated properly, workforce risk understood before it reaches due diligence.
Retained HR support
You buy a set number of HR consultancy hours each month, with a minimum of three months, and we review it with you every quarter. If you are not using the hours, we will tell you.
You talk to Chloe or Sue. Not a call centre, not a different HR adviser every time you call. We get to know how your business genuinely works, and because there are two of us, your HR support does not stop when one of us takes annual leave.
We do not sell a fixed package of inclusions. Those tend to mean paying for ten things when you need six. We would rather understand what your organisation needs and build the support around that.
EVIDENCE. VALUE. IMPACT. DIRECT. ACTION.
However you buy it, the method is the same.
Evidence
We find out what is actually happening in your organisation before we recommend anything.
Value
We tell you what it means commercially, not just what the law says.
Impact
We focus on the things that will make the most difference, because we have run these situations before.
Direct
We give you a straight answer, including when it is not the one you were hoping for.
Action
We tell you what to do, and we will do it with you if that is what you need.
Who we work with
We work with local SMEs, to global PLCs, as well as household names and some of the UK's official Best Places to Work. Size and sector are not what we look at.
What matters to us is whether you care about doing right by your people, and whether you will act on what you find out. Insight is only worth something if somebody does something with it.
