HR Services

My HR Services are designed for micro and small businesses and provide the advice and support that you need, when you need it. When you work with me you will take advantage of over 30 years of experience in supporting Directors and Line Managers with the full range of HR issues! You can work with me on a retained or Pay As You Go basis. Whichever way you choose to work with me my aim will be to take away the stress associated with managing your people and give you the peace of mind that your business is protected.

As an owner of a micro or small business you are probably juggling all, or most of, the balls in your business and don’t have the time or expertise to establish effective HR processes yourself. Without dedicated HR support day to day HR issues such as sickness, holidays, family friendly leave and training can be daunting.

Remaining compliant with UK Employment Legislation can be a real headache because it’s constantly changing. Some of these changes occur annually and are easy to prepare for, such as national minimum wage increases. But the Government introduce changes to employment law throughout the year, not all those changes hit the news headlines and can be easily missed. On top of that there are tribunal rulings that can affect how we interpret legislation.

HR Services

I offer a range of services that are aimed at helping you manage your people. You can opt to work with me on a long-term basis through a retainer, on a short-term basis when you have a HR Project to complete or on as a Pay As You Go Arrangement.

Wage bills, inflation and the cost of fuel and energy are causing many companies to look at saving money where they can. Outsourcing some or all of your HR function to me can be a cost-effective way of reducing your overheads whilst still benefiting from expert HR Advice and Support.
