Outsourced HR support for businesses in Manchester

Our HR consultancy is flexible to suit your business

Our HR packages provide regular access to a dedicated consultant. You can also use HR consultancy for specific projects or periods of change. If you need temporary cover, additional resource or help with an individual issue, interim and ad-hoc HR support gives you another option without committing to a retained service.

HR retainers & packages >>
Retained support gives you access to an HR consultant who understands how your organisation works and is available when questions or employee issues arise. Packages provide different levels of support depending on the size and requirements of your business.
Key Outcome: Regular HR expertise available without building a full internal HR function.

HR contracts & documentation >>
Contracts, policies, letters and employee records all form part of effective people management. We can prepare new HR documentation or review existing materials where they need updating to reflect the organisation and its current requirements.
Key Outcome: Clearer HR documentation that gives managers reliable information to work from.

Employee relations consultancy >>
Grievances, disciplinary matters, performance concerns and workplace disputes can require time and expertise that managers do not always have internally. We provide practical guidance on the appropriate process and how to handle conversations with the employees involved.
Key Outcome: Employee issues managed with experienced support and a clear process.

Organisation change management>>
Changes to teams, roles or working arrangements can affect employees in different ways. Our consultants support employers with the HR aspects of organisational change, including consultation, communication and the practical steps involved in implementing new arrangements.
