Retained HR Support: Tailored Solutions for Your Business

HR isn't just about compliance; it's about building a business where people and performance can thrive. Whether you're hiring your first employee or growing a team, I provide flexible, people-focused HR support that's built around where your business is now and where you want it to go.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. From day one, I work in partnership with you to understand your business, your goals, and your people. Together, we'll develop the HR structures, strategies, and conversations that set you up for long-term success, not just short-term fixes.

Your personalised solution based on your specific needs could include:

• HR strategy development: Aligning HR with your business goals.
• On-site HR support: Regular in-house presence (e.g. a few days per month).
• Project-based HR support: Assistance with specific HR initiatives.

I am always on hand to provide advice or support on any people management matter whether it's contracts, policies, performance, absence, disputes, or simply acting as a sounding board for tricky situations.

But I'm not just here for when things go wrong. I also help you take a forward-looking approach by supporting learning and development plans, succession planning, and wider strategic people initiatives that strengthen your business for the future.

Every business is different, and so is the HR support it needs. Let's have a conversation about what will work best for you
