What we do
HR support for businesses that don't have an HR department. Use us once, or have us on hand all year.
You didn't start a business to become an HR department
Most small businesses don't need a full-time HR person. They need someone they can pick up the phone to when something happens, and someone to make sure the basics are in place so it happens less often.
Something's come up
A grievance, a long-term absence, someone who isn't performing. You want to handle it properly, without it dragging on or ending up at a tribunal.
The paperwork's out of date
Contracts written years ago, a handbook nobody's opened, policies that don't reflect how you actually work. We bring it up to date and keep it there.
The team's growing
Recruiting, onboarding, first-time managers who've never had to manage. We help you build the structure before you need it.
