HR & People Support
Practical HR support when you need experienced advice.
Running a small business means dealing with people issues as well as everything else.
When you don't have your own HR resource, knowing how to handle a difficult situation fairly and properly isn't always straightforward.
I provide practical HR support for small businesses and organisations, helping you deal with workplace issues confidently, fairly and with the right processes in place.
When You Might Need HR Support
People issues don't always arise neatly or at a convenient time. Sometimes you simply need experienced HR advice before deciding what to do next.

Managing absence or attendance issues
-
Dealing with conflict between employees
-
Carrying out a workplace investigation
-
Preparing for a difficult employee conversation
-
Reviewing HR policies or procedures
-
Getting advice before taking action
How I Can Help
Good HR support isn't simply about following a process. It's about understanding the situation, establishing the facts and helping you make fair, practical and informed decisions.
Employee Relations
Practical advice and support with disciplinary matters, grievances, absence, performance and other employee concerns.
Workplace Investigations & Difficult SituationsÂ
Helping you establish the facts, manage sensitive issues fairly and approach difficult conversations with confidence.
Policies & Good Practice
Reviewing or developing practical HR policies and procedures that are appropriate for your organisation and help managers know what to do.
Getting the Best from Your People
Experienced support with performance, development, communication and day-to-day people management, helping managers and employees work effectively together.
A Fair and Practical Approach
Every situation is different. I take the time to understand what has happened, listen to the people involved and establish the facts before advising on the way forward.
My approach is fair, objective and practical. I won't simply tell you what you want to hear — I'll give you an honest professional view, explain the options and help you handle the situation properly.
Starting a Conversation
You don't need to know exactly what HR support you need before getting in touch. Sometimes a short conversation is enough to clarify the situation and decide what the next step should be.
​
I offer an initial conversation to understand what's happening and discuss how I may be able to help. Support can be provided for a specific issue or on a more ongoing basis, depending on what your business needs are.
