Janet Lacey
Karen is an excellent HR professional. She has produced my first company handbook & added heaps of value with her knowledge & suggestions. As a small, family owned and run, home based travel agency who is now starting to take on staff her guidance was invaluable. She has also reviewed and sorted out my first contractor contract. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any SME who needs some HR help! More...

HRDocument Scan
Designed to provide clarity and peace of mind, we take you quickly through a series of questions, covering the full HR spectrum, and prepare a report on the current state of your HR practices, helping you prioritise and plan next steps to improve compliance or achieve best practice if preferred.
HRNow! subscription

Recruit and Onboard package
Taking the heavy lifting out of recruitment and onboarding we go beyond the standard service to offer a fully inclusive service from writing a watertight job description, through drafting adverts, sourcing and screening candidates to negotiating terms, preparing contracts, conducting reference checks and closing down after the probation period.
Staying on Track package
The first six months of a new employee’s tenure is the most important! We help your new recruit successfully transition into your business, delivering your unique onboarding experience to get them off to the best start and supporting them and their manager throughout the probation period, keeping them on track.
Hooked! Employee Engagement package
Organisation culture and the employee experience you offer is crucial to a healthy and productive workplace. Starting with an employee engagement survey or a culture audit we design questions to drill into what is working and opportunities for improvement. The final output is a report and presentation on our recommendations. We then help with design and implementation of the recommendations as needed.
On Demand Advisory projects
Our Advisory service is designed specifically for those more challenging and difficult HR situations, especially when things aren’t running smoothly in your team. From professional investigations, managing contentious terminations and redundancies to supporting contract changes, resolving personal conflicts with productive mediation and support with TUPE situations, we’re here to help.
On Demand Consultancy projects
Our Consultancy services are designed for those situations that are more involved and likely to need more experienced expertise. We are qualified to provide support across the whole range of HR disciplines including management development, team development workshops, reward, recognition and incentive programmes and especially developing continuous performance development processes.
