Tailored employment contracts, a bespoke employee handbook, and ongoing support from experienced HR professionals.
The HR Essentials Plan gives small businesses the foundations they need to employ people with confidence, without jumping straight into a larger HR retainer.
From £95 per month.

Contracts, policies, and employee information are spread across folders, old templates, emails, and documents that haven't been reviewed in years.

With regular employment law changes, follows business changes. What worked when you hired your first employee may not reflect how your organisation operates today.

You don't need a full HR department, you simply want confidence that your contracts, handbook, and documentation are fit for purpose and support your business as it grows.
