Our HR Advice Service gives you direct access to experienced, CIPD-qualified HR consultants when you need practical guidance on managing your people. Support is available by telephone, email or in person, providing flexible HR expertise that works around your organisation.

Whether you have a dedicated HR lead or need external HR support, you can access advice and support tailored to your organisation, policies and circumstances.

From recruitment and onboarding through to employee development, performance management and offboarding, our HR consultants help you make informed, fair and compliant HR decisions.

Why Is Professional HR Advice Important?

Managing employees involves responsibilities that can carry significant operational, legal and reputational risks. Without appropriate HR support and management HR training issues can escalate, processes may be applied inconsistently and employers can find themselves exposed to avoidable disputes.

Access to expert HR advice can help you:

  • Deal with employee issues promptly and professionally
  • Apply policies and procedures fairly and consistently
  • Make confident HR decisions based on your individual circumstances
  • Reduce the risk of grievances and employment disputes
  • Understand your responsibilities under employment law
  • Support positive employee relations
  • Manage sensitive situations with greater confidence

HR Advice Throughout the Employee Lifecycle

Our HR Advice Service supports you throughout your employee’s journey, providing practical guidance at each stage.

This can include:

  • Recruitment and selection: guidance on fair recruitment processes, interviews and employment documentation
  • Onboarding: helping you establish clear expectations and effective processes from the outset
  • Probationary periods: guidance on managing probation reviews, setting clear objectives and addressing any performance or conduct concerns during the probationary period
  • Performance management: supporting managers to address concerns, provide feedback and follow appropriate procedures
  • Sickness absence: practical guidance on managing short and long-term absence fairly and consistently
  • Disciplinary and grievance matters: helping you follow appropriate procedures when dealing with sensitive workplace issues
  • Employee development: supporting training, development and wider people-management initiatives
  • Redundancy and restructuring: guidance through organisational change and the processes involved
  • TUPE matters: practical HR support where employees may be affected by a business transfer
  • Employee exits: assistance with exit processes, interviews and outplacement

Dedicated HR Support That Understands Your Business

  • Effective HR consultancy services should not provide generic answers to individual problems.
  • Your dedicated HR consultant will take the time to understand your organisation, its culture, policies and requirements. This means the guidance you receive can reflect the circumstances you are actually dealing with rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Over time, this relationship also gives your consultant greater context when new HR issues arise, helping you access relevant support without having to start from the beginning each time.

Keeping Up With Employment Law Changes

Employment law continues to evolve, creating additional responsibilities for employers and managers.

Our HR Advice Service helps you understand developments that could affect your organisation and what they mean in practice. We can provide guidance on your responsibilities, identify areas that may require action and help you keep HR documentation including employment contracts, policies and handbooks up to date.

This is particularly important as workplace reforms are introduced, when existing HR processes may need to be reviewed to maintain compliance and reduce risk.

HR Advice Service FAQs

Yes. Depending on your requirements, HR consultancy support can help with specific issues as well as ongoing people management. This can be particularly valuable when you are dealing with an unfamiliar or higher-risk situation.

It is generally beneficial to seek advice as early as possible, particularly before taking formal action. Early guidance can help you understand your options, follow the correct process and prevent an issue from escalating unnecessarily.
