Whatever elements you want to introduce to allow your HR to run in the most efficient and productive way, our HR support solutions are ultimately designed to free up time to allow you and/or your management team to focus on other aspects of your business, confident in the knowledge that everything HR-related is being overseen, automated, or even managed entirely, for you.

Cost-effective peace of mind

And we can do that in a variety of ways to make it a viable and cost-effective step to introduce a regular and sustainable focus on HR for your business. From ad-hoc advice with individual issues to retained monthly HR support or expertise to help with a specific project such as the review and/or implementation of policies and procedures, a restructure or downsize, or perhaps a need to focus on redefining the culture within your business and improve employee engagement.

You will be surprised at how low some peace of mind can cost you, with our retained HR support starting as little as £150 a month.

You can pick and choose the individual elements of HR that you would like us to support you with.

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.
