Outsourced HR Support & Consultancy

Outsourced HR Support for HR Professionals

We can help HR professionals with outsourced HR support!

When we first started out, almost 15 years ago, we assumed our outsourced HR support services would be used by startup organisations without their own internal HR departments.

Over the years, however, it has become apparent that there is also a considerable demand for our support from internal HR teams and individuals within well-established organisations, as well as other types of HR professional.

Outsourced HR Support

We can help stand-alone internal HR professionals with outsourced HR support!

We know that people in small fast-growing companies can often end up as the ‘unofficial’ HR person by default, even though their original career was initially in another area of business support area, such as administration, finance, or the like. So, if you’re currently ‘unofficially’ performing the HR role within your company but would like to be able to call on a whole team of highly qualified and experienced career-HR professionals to back you up when things get tricky, we’re the people for the job!

Indeed, we’ve previously mentored and supported many early-career HR professionals, including those formalising their current de facto role by studying for CIPD qualifications.

Alternatively, if you’re not looking for a career change but would rather get rid of your acquired HR responsibilities altogether, so you can get back to focussing on what you were originally supposed to doing, you can outsource the bulk, if not all, of your current HR distractions to us.

And even if you’re already a fully trained and experienced HR professional, we totally understand how challenging it is to be the only person with that role within a company, since many of our HR consultants have previously been in that position themselves. So, if you’re a solo HR professional, we can help you by providing specialist advice, or additional resources to cover absences, peaks in workload, or strategic projects. Or we can simply act ask a sounding board to discuss your thoughts and share current best practice.

We can help internal HR teams with outsourced HR support!

Likewise, even if you have an internal HR team, we can help you manage your resourcing and workload, particularly with regards to those one-off specialist tasks that would otherwise get in the way of your normal day-to-day work.

In particular, our consultants have a huge amount of experience in dealing with complex employee relations cases, such as disciplinaries and grievances, and their associated investigations and appeals.

And with many of us having previously had careers within corporate HR, we’re also well equipped to handle strategic projects, such as restructures and culture change.

We can help fellow external HR consultants with outsourced HR support!

We started out as a one-person HR consultancy, so we totally get how hard it is to manage peaks and troughs in your workload, particularly given the reactive nature of much outsourced HR. And, in particular, we know how difficult it can be to continue providing your desired level of client service during times of illness or holiday.

So, if you’re a fellow small HR consultancy, we can help you manage those unexpected challenges. We can also provide specialist advice for those tricky niche cases, or extra consultants if you need an additional independent 3rd-party, such as for disciplinary or grievance appeals.
