FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Outsourced HR means handing day-to-day HR work - contracts, policies, compliance and employee relations - to a specialist partner instead of hiring an in-house HR team. You get the same expertise on tap, without the overhead.
A one-time setup builds your HR function from scratch - contracts, policies, handbook and systems, done once. An ongoing partnership is us acting as your outsourced HR department month to month, handling day-to-day advice and employee relations as they come up. Many clients start with a setup, then move into ongoing support.
It depends on what you already have in place and how much day-to-day support you need. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll recommend a package based on your team size, sector and current HR setup - there's no obligation.
Yes. Many of our clients are small businesses with no in-house HR at all - our Foundation and Essential HR packages are built for exactly that situation.
Yes. If none of our set packages fit exactly, we'll build a bespoke HR solution around your sector, team size and goals - see the "Need something tailored?" section above.
We work with SMEs across care, education, hospitality and retail, among others - sectors with specific compliance needs like CQC registration, Ofsted readiness or high-turnover, shift-based teams.
On an ongoing partnership, that typically means email or phone-based HR advice, employee-relations support (disciplinaries, grievances, absence), regular check-ins and access to a qualified HR specialist whenever an issue comes up - the exact scope depends on your package.
Yes - on our ongoing partnership packages you'll have a consistent HR contact who knows your business, rather than starting from scratch with someone new each time you get in touch.
After an initial consultation we can typically begin work within a few days. Setup packages are scoped up front so you know the timeline before you commit; ongoing partnerships start as soon as onboarding is complete.
Yes - an HR audit is one of our additional services. We'll assess what you already have against what's required for your sector and flag any gaps, whether or not you take up further support.
Book a free consultation and tell us where you are today. We'll recommend a package - or a bespoke plan - and talk through timelines and next steps. No obligation.
