HR CONSULTING

Flexible, commercially grounded HR support for defined matters, projects, leadership advice, and short-term capacity.

Not every business needs a full retained partnership. Some need trusted senior HR input at the right moments. Clearly scoped, practical, and outcome-focused.

Who this is for

Our HR Consulting (Ad hoc/Hourly) services are perfect for small to medium businesses who:

Are passionate and invested in their business growth.
Are navigating growth, change, or leadership transitions.
Need senior HR expertise for a defined issue or project.
Are not yet ready for a People Partner Plan.
Want commercial advice without long-term commitment.
Require board-level or executive HR input.

How we work

We provide flexible, senior support options that can be tailored to suit your business needs:

Hourly Rate HR Consulting

Practical advice, issue resolution, documentation review, and guidance as matters arise.

Charged hourly. No minimum commitment.

Fixed Retainer Hours

A set number of consulting hours per month for predictable access and cost control.

Best for businesses needing regular but not full retained support.

Board & Executive Advisory

Strategic people advice for Boards, CEOs, and leadership teams navigating growth, complexity, or structural change.

HR Projects

Defined scope work such as:

Contract and policy reviews
Performance framework implementation
Remuneration structure design
Workforce restructuring support
Engagement initiatives
HR system and process mapping

All projects are scoped clearly with agreed deliverables and timelines.

What makes our consulting different?

We don’t deliver reports and disappear.

We:

Bring commercially grounded strategic direction.
Stay to support implementation.
Understand how your business operates before advising.
Move comfortably between day-to-day HR and long-term priorities.
Provide advice that is defensible, fair, and practical.

Our consulting is built for growth-stage businesses, not corporate theory and not compliance scare tactics.

When ad-hoc or hourly rate HR consulting works best

Best Suited For:

Businesses at an early growth stage
Organisations with internal HR who need senior escalation support
Defined HR clean-up or system reset projects
Leadership teams needing independent, objective advice
Businesses testing support before moving to retained partnership

Looking for proactive and structure ongoing support instead?

Some of our longer-term clients begin with consulting or a defined project and move into a People Partner Plan once they see the value of structured, proactive support across the year.

If you’re ready to move from reactive HR to confident people leadership, explore our People Partner Plans.

How This Fits Within The People Operating Framework

All consulting work sits within our structured methodology.

Even when engaged hourly or for projects, our advice aligns to:

Governance and compliance foundations
Role clarity and accountability
Performance and capability structure
Leadership rhythm and cultural alignment

This ensures your business builds consistency — not just short-term fixes.
