Small businesses don’t need pages of policy or off-the-shelf templates. You need HR support that’s fast, commercial, and right-sized.
Whether you’re hiring your first employee or managing a growing team, we help you put the right people practices in place, to protect your business and unlock performance.
We’ve supported start-ups, charities, and scaling SMEs who all want the same thing: HR advice they can trust, when it counts.
Our Core HR Services for Small Businesses
1. Employee Relations & Compliance
We help you navigate tricky issues like misconduct, underperformance, sickness absence, and grievances. We do this calmly and compliantly. You’ll get clear advice grounded in UK employment law, so you can act with confidence.
2. Policies & Processes
Need contracts, handbooks, or clear procedures? We’ll write and review your HR documentation to make sure it’s legally sound, up-to-date, and tailored to your business, not pulled from a generic template.
3. Recruitment & Talent Acquisition
Whether it’s your first hire or your fiftieth, we support every step. From job design to onboarding, ensuring a smooth, professional candidate experience that reflects your values.
4. Training & Development
We design and deliver practical training for managers and teams. From handling performance conversations to building inclusive leadership, we equip your people to succeed.
5. Organisational Change
Restructures, TUPE, or redundancies on the horizon? We’ll guide you through sensitive change processes with a steady hand and strategic insight.
6. Employee Engagement & Retention
Want to improve morale or reduce turnover? We can run engagement surveys, analyse feedback, and help you build a culture where people stay and thrive.
7. People Strategy
As your business matures, we support you with bigger-picture planning—from reward and retention, to succession and values alignment.
8. Dispute Resolution & Mediation
We’re trained mediators who can step in early to resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and avoid costly formal processes.
9. Outplacement Support
When change impacts individuals, we provide compassionate redundancy support including CV help, interview prep, and coaching for what’s next.
Flexible support that fits your needs
