Retained HR advisory

A consistent point of reference as your team grows.

Most people questions are not emergencies. They are the everyday decisions that shape how a team works: a change to hours, a manager unsure how to raise a concern, a policy that no longer fits.

Retained advisory gives you somewhere to take those questions, with advice that already knows your context. When a matter becomes more formal, the same relationship supports you through employee relations work, and keeps your policies and contracts in step with how the business actually runs.

When this helps

Situations we can
help you with.

Recognise one of these? Request a callback and we can talk it through.

  • 01
    You are making people decisions without an in-house HR lead.
  • 02
    Managers want to check their approach before a difficult conversation.
  • 03
    The business is changing and your documents are not keeping up.
  • 04
    Similar issues are being handled differently each time.

What we can help with

A practical, agreed scope.

We shape the work around the issue, your existing documents and the support your managers need.

Advice for everyday decisions

Talk through people questions with the relevant context, documents and practical options.

Support for managers

Prepare for conversations about performance, attendance and expectations.

Documentation that fits

Identify the letters, policies and records needed for the agreed work.

Our approach

Context before conclusions.

First, understand the issue. Then set out the choices, agree the work and document the next step. More about how we work.

OUR PRINCIPLE
Advice works best
when it already
knows the business.

Context before conclusions.
People alongside process.

How it works

From first message
to agreed support.

  1. 01

    Tell us the situation

    A short outline by form, email or phone. Keep names and sensitive details out of the first message.

  2. 02

    A first conversation

    We talk through what is happening, what you need and what a sensible next step looks like.

  3. 03

    Agree scope and terms

    Scope, fees and terms are confirmed in writing before any work begins.

  4. 04

    Support, then review

    We help you put the agreed approach into practice and look at what should change for the longer term.

Request a callback

Talk through ongoing support.

Leave your details and we will call to talk through the situation and agree a sensible next step. Please keep names and sensitive details for the conversation.

  1. 01We call at a time that suits you.

Clarity on the work.
Clarity on the terms.

How is the work priced?

Scope, fees and terms are agreed before work begins. We will confirm the support and response arrangements in your proposal.

What should I share at the first conversation?

A short outline of the situation and the support you need. Please do not send employee records or sensitive personal details through an initial enquiry.

Can we start with a specific issue?

Yes. We can discuss a focused piece of work and whether ongoing support would be useful. Any further work is scoped separately.

Is this the same as membership?

Ongoing support today is agreed as retained advisory, scoped to your organisation. A members’ area is a later phase: you can register your interest.
