Our Services

  • Many small to medium-sized businesses run more efficiently with some level of HR in place, but most do not need a full-time in-house resource. Our flexible HR Support range of pick and mix services can prove invaluable to you. Discover more

  • Managing your HR with software is the perfect solution for keeping on top of your day-to-day HR tasks, centralising data, and maximising your employee engagement. We partner with BreatheHR. Discover more

  • If you are an SME, recruitment is a real resource drain as people are pulled away to focus on the time-intensive aspects of recruiting. This can mean a drop in productivity & added pressure for your staff. It doesn’t have to with our range of recruitment options. Discover more

  • Mediation is a tool to resolve workplace conflict or disputes. Often described as an alternative or informal dispute resolution, it's less formal than grievance and discipline procedures and employment tribunals whilst still following a structured approach. Discover more

Change

  • Do you need to make a change in your business to sustain growth or scale? Change comes in many forms and is often met with resistance, fear, and uncertainty of the outcome. Many see change as unnecessary or threatening. Many also pay it lip service so it never happens or is seen as an unsuccessful drain on both resource and budget. Discover more

  • The world of work and the expectations of workers has changed in recent years. Striking a balance between what your business needs and what employees now want and expect is the key to engaging and retaining your people in such a way as to create a healthy and productive workplace culture. Discover more

  • Your people are your company’s greatest asset and what the pandemic showed us all is that their wellness is paramount. Wellness is not just about ticking a box; it is about doing what is right and demonstrating the importance and value of that asset within your organisation. Discover more

  • People are at the heart of what we do and nowhere is this more evident than our flexible Outplacement Programme. Always with a commercial focus and a drive to create proactive change for the benefit of your company, we are equally focused on seeing employees as people, and managing their experience at what can be a distressing time. Discover more

  • If you are a business owner looking to grow through acquisition or looking to sell your business, or you take on new business from competitors then you should be aware of the employment law regulations TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations). ProAction HR can support your business at times of change. Discover more

  • "We sought the assistance of ProAction HR to help us organise a team development event for our newly established management team. Being a newly formed team, it was crucial for us to have an engaging and meaningful event that would foster teamwork, establish a shared understanding, and outline our plans. From the beginning, I made it clear that I wanted to actively participate in the event rather than solely facilitate it, as I believed it was important to be seen as part of the team. After discussing our requirements with Martin, he promptly presented a proposed agenda that demonstrated a greater understanding of our needs. Leading up to the event, Martin assured us that all the planning was taken care of, and our only responsibility was to attend. I had assumed we would have a more active role in organising the event, but to my delight, Martin had it covered. The event spanned two full days and was packed with valuable content. We delved into strategy, planning, psychometric testing, and team-building exercises. Martin effectively kept the team engaged and energised throughout the event. The content was original, and despite having attended similar events in the past, we never felt like it was repetitive. Martin challenged us and ensured we made the most of our time together. We left the event with everything we had hoped for and more. Our team was enthusiastic and united, equipped with a clear sense of purpose and a shared goal for success. Martin's expertise and understanding of our needs made the event a true success. Furthermore, ProAction HR even recommended the perfect venue for us, The Fish in the Cotswolds, which added to the overall experience. This event has positioned us for success. It was time well spent, and I eagerly anticipate working with ProAction HR on our next event."

    James Healy | Chief Operating Officer | Air IT

  • "The ProAction HR team are brilliant. I wanted some advice on how to put together a job description. As this will be my first hire, I wanted to get this right and get some advice from an expert. Martin took the time to explain what a great JD should include and it was a real eye opener. The team's knowledge and passion is incredible. I've also attended one of their breakfast taster sessions which was brilliant. Thank you ProAction HR for all the help and advice so far...I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you."

    — Matt Treviss | Managing Director | Just Add Treviss

  • “ProAction HR has provided fantastic support to Spectris over the past 3.5 years. During this time, Spectris has evolved its strategy and operating model, resulting in a leaner, more efficient structure at our group headquarters. ProAction HR has been invaluable during this time. Providing in depth consultancy and on-the-ground support during the restructuring; delivering change management projects and high-quality outplacement services to those employees affected by these changes.”

    Danny Rosewarne | Group Organisation Development Manager | Spectris Plc

  • "ProAction HR worked with our senior team to deliver Insights profiles. Joanne Hobbins delivered an interesting and thought provoking session which has had an instant and positive impact on how we work together, appreciating our individual and combined strengths."

    Heidi Oldrey | Human Resources Director | Minstead Trust

  • "We have worked with ProAction HR for a few years now, and been very happy. They always reply quickly, giving great advice and guidance. Friendly, professional and a great extension to our team. Would happily recommend."
