Frequently Asked Questions

What size business do you typically work with?
We work with businesses of all sizes, but primarily partner with growing organisations that need HR support but may not require a full-time HR team.

How much does HR support cost?
Our services are flexibly priced to match your needs. We have a variety of retainer packages available, and can develop bespoke for any business.  Adhoc projects will be priced individually.
Do I need an Employee Handbook?
Yes, an Employee Handbook is crucial for any business as it sets out your company's policies, procedures, and workplace expectations. It not only helps protect your business legally but also ensures consistency in how you manage your team. Our comprehensive handbook service includes all essential policies and can be customised to reflect your company culture and values.
What should I do if I'm having performance issues with an employee?
We provide comprehensive support for managing performance concerns, starting with helping you identify the root cause and developing an appropriate action plan. We can guide you through formal processes, help structure performance improvement plans, and ensure you're following fair and legal procedures. We can also train your managers in handling difficult conversations and performance management effectively.
How can you help improve our company culture?
Our culture change programme takes a comprehensive approach, starting with defining your vision and values, then embedding these throughout your organisation. We work collaboratively with all levels of your business to ensure buy-in and create lasting change. This includes reviewing your current practices, developing new frameworks, and implementing these across recruitment, onboarding, and performance management processes.
What HR support do I legally need for my business?
At minimum, all UK businesses need compliant employment contracts, basic policies, and procedures that meet current employment law requirements. We can help ensure you have these foundations in place and stay updated with changing regulations. Our compliance pillar includes contract reviews, policy development, and ongoing HR advice to protect your business.
Can you help with redundancy and restructuring?
