Proactive HR advisory that builds business resilience

Often, our first introduction to a new client is when they come to us with an HR problem that needs solving. 


While we’re experts at getting your HR issues sorted, our preferred approach is to ensure you have the right people and culture approach in place to avoid them arising in the first place. 


This means looking at every aspect of the existing people and culture approach - from capability frameworks and strategy, through to creation of HR policies, recruitment and onboarding procedures, employment relations, performance, talent development and coaching. 


We excel at partnering with future-focused businesses, and we love nothing more than helping our clients reduce risk, improve efficiency and develop a more productive and engaged workforce.  


Our proactive HR advisory services will help you build a resilient and high-performing organisation.

Senior HR consultants to support you, precisely when you need them 

Our outsourced and fractional HR consulting services make it simple for businesses at every size and stage to access strategic HR advice. Fractional HR offers the best of both worlds: experienced HR consultants who work with you part-time to build your people strategy, handle compliance, strengthen your culture and support your team as you grow. It’s flexible, cost-effective, and built for modern business

Whether you’re embarking on a full review of your people and culture approach or simply need expert assistance with a particular issue, our friendly and pragmatic HR consultants are available to help you make the best choices for your organisation.
 
We offer retainer-based and as-needed consultancy services, giving your organisation flexibility to choose the level of support that’s most appropriate to its needs.

Our partnership approach and focus on getting to know each client’s business in depth enables us to offer the best possible advice for your organisation – whether we’re assisting with a single project, or on an ongoing basis.

​Tailored HR advisory that drives business growth

We love doing the work that drives high performance in your people - because when your people thrive, your business thrives too. It’s that simple.


We also believe that every business is unique – and that its HR approach should be too. A one-size-fits-all approach to HR often misses the mark - and misses opportunities.

 

That's why one of the first questions our HR consultants ask clients is 'what does success look like for your business?'. 


By understanding the objectives of your organisation clearly, our HR consultants can help you create a tailored approach that ensures you have the right people and culture strategy, along with the correct frameworks to bring your vision to life.

Managing Director, Kiara Cosmetics

As a small business owner, you are forced to wear many hats. HR and managing staff have never been my favourite and most issues I swept under the carpet until I started working with Frances. Frances has helped me to build confidence in managing my team. I always leave our meetings with a clear direction and solutions for any HR issues - highly recommend Human Focus / Frances!
