You will access professionals who have in-depth knowledge of leadership and people management challenges, employment law and best practices with excellent HR strategic AND day-to-day HR consultancy support AND leadership development. Each annual agreement client is assigned a HR consultant who can anticipate when additional specialist support may be beneficial. The HR consultants can be contacted out of hours if needed, via their direct mobile, or e-mail address for urgent issues.

We understand you have taken the step to choose an external HR consultancy service and want you to know that when we are chosen to work with you, we consider ourselves an integral part of your team, your school, business or charity. To this purpose, we offer unlimited e-mail, telephone advice and support via our Advisory team, with full access to HR consultancy attendance at on site meetings, hearings, appeals and via video conference. We are there as and when you need us with charges either via an annual contract and/or a competitive day rate.
