Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of HR services designed to support your business at every stage. From strategic HR planning and compliance to employee relations and wellbeing, our expert solutions are customised to meet your unique challenges. Explore our services below to see how we can help you build a stronger people agenda.
HR strategy
An HR strategy goes beyond hiring and retaining. If you are struggling to engage, empower and develop employees in a way that supports your company’s growth ambitions, we can help tailor your HR strategy for you that better aligns to your business objectives.
Succession
Planning for leadership or key employee rotations? Whether it's retiring senior leaders or core individuals holding essential knowledge, we can help. We’ll guide and support you in building diverse pipelines either internally or in finding new talent to ensure a smooth transition and safeguard your business' future.
Talent management
Struggling to recruit or retain top talent? We’ll help you identify why your business is attractive to employees and how to improve retention. It's not always about money - communication, culture and values play a crucial role too. Let us assist in making your business the best place for top talent to thrive.
Culture and values
Motivating your team goes beyond perks like free snacks. It’s about having a clear, communicated culture and values that drive motivation, productivity and retention. We help you define, communicate, and embed these values across your organisation; creating a thriving and loyal workforce.
Diversity, equality and inclusion
Improving DE&I not only enhances your business performance but also fosters a trusting, inclusive culture. We can assess and help you enhance DE&I training and practices, ensuring compliance with current obligations (like preventing sexual harassment) and future obligations (like gender, disability, and ethnicity pay gap reporting).
Reward
Are your pay and benefits competitive? If you feel your reward strategy isn’t aligned with your HR objectives or you're losing out on top talent, we can help. We assess your current reward structure and provide tailored solutions that fit your business’ goals, culture, and values.
Wellbeing
Supporting employee wellbeing is more important than ever, especially with rising mental health challenges. Early intervention can prevent issues from escalating and reduce absences or grievances. A healthier workforce is a happier, more productive one. We help you manage wellbeing, including, during stressful situations such as performance reviews or redundancies.
HR support
We support businesses with day-to-day HR issues, from managing poor performance to handling redundancies. Whether you need remote guidance or on-site assistance, our goal is to help you reach your desired outcome swiftly and effectively, while balancing employee rights and commercial needs.
Employee advocacy
We offer a unique service to support both employers and employees during complex HR issues. With your employee's consent, we act as their advocate; helping them articulate concerns, managing their expectations and securing their engagement in the process to reach a resolution. This service demonstrates your commitment to supporting staff through difficult times.
Investigations
Handling grievances, disciplinary issues, and poor performance requires a fair and thorough process. We guide you through each step to ensure compliance with the ACAS code and can conduct independent investigations for you, freeing your time and demonstrating procedural fairness to avoid potential tribunal risks.
Appraisals
Are annual appraisals just a tick-box exercise for your business? They can be so much more. Whether you're looking to improve behaviour, boost motivation, or measure performance, we can help design an appraisal process that achieves your goals and shows managers how to conduct meaningful reviews.
Compliance services
We ensure your business stays compliant with employment laws by providing tailored contracts, staff handbooks, and manager training. Our services help protect your business, ensure legal compliance, and foster an inclusive workplace through clear policies and ongoing guidance.
To help you comply with your duty to prevent sexual harassment, Whisper is a confidential hotline that also covers whistleblowing. Provide your employees with a secure avenue to report concerns, ensuring a safer and more respectful workplace.
