Most of the HR problems we are called into are not HR problems. They are a policy nobody wrote down, a structure that grew rather than was decided, or a manager carrying a task that was never theirs.
We work alongside your team rather than over the top of it, and we leave you with documents your own people can run.
Where we usually start
An HR audit, because it is difficult to fix a structure nobody has described yet. It covers what exists, what is missing, and what is exposed:
- Contracts of employment, and whether they say what you think they say
- Statutory registrations and filings, and whether they are current
- Working time, leave and overtime practice against what is written down
- Discipline and grievance procedure, and whether it has survived contact with a real case
- Files and records, and what a labour inspection would find in them
You get the findings, ranked by exposure rather than by ease, so you can decide what to fix first.
What comes out of it
Documents, not slides:
- An employee handbook written for your workplace rather than a template
- Contract templates by role type
- A discipline and grievance procedure your supervisors can follow without calling anyone
- A headcount plan that survives a seasonal peak
- A performance framework proportionate to the size of the team
Do you do this for companies that do not outsource?
Yes. HR consultancy is taken on its own by companies that employ their own people and want the structure right. There is no requirement to move headcount to us, and we will say so if outsourcing is not what your problem needs.
Can you help with a specific case?
We can advise on a live disciplinary or grievance and sit alongside your manager through it. We are not a law firm, and where a matter needs a lawyer we will tell you plainly rather than take it further than we should.
How long does it take?
An audit of a single-site business is usually a matter of weeks. Rewriting the documents that come out of it depends on how much there is and how quickly your side can review. We work to your review capacity rather than filling a fixed retainer.
