HR fundamentals

We can review & revise, or even 'setup' your internal HR department from scratch to give you the confidence that your documentation and processes are both tailored to your business and align with best practice.

Let us set up your HR department

We set you up for success by reviewing, revising or creating the required people documents, templates, processes and policies so you can focus on growing your business.
‍
We won't use off the self templates or processes that have been used time and time again. Instead, we take the time to understand what is important to your people and your business, and make sure your people processes are designed and aligned to your unique needs.
‍

What we do

We recognise that your business has its distinct culture, operational challenges and goals, which is why we adopt a bespoke approach to your HR setup.

HR Audit

Our HR audit process begins with a full review of your HR policies and procedures, ensuring they adhere to legal compliance and reflect best practice. We identify gaps and potential risk areas and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate these risks effectively.

We provide a report that summarises the outcomes, highlights current gaps, and outlines opportunities for improvement or change, including recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Policies, Guidelines & Staff Handbooks

We tailor your HR processes and policies to perfectly fit your company's unique needs and goals.

We create bespoke documentation, templates, guides, policies and staff handbooks that suit your internal culture. We also work with our employment lawyer to ensure your documents comply with current legislation so that your HR department has the fundamentals in place to operate smoothly.

Employment Agreements

We create Individual Employment Agreement templates that not only comply with current legislation, but are also crafted to reflect and support your business' specific policies and practices.

These agreements serve as a legal framework for employment relationships, ensuring clarity and alignment between employees and the business. Our templates are regularly updated to reflect any legal changes, providing ongoing peace of mind for your HR processes.

Job Descriptions

We specialise in crafting concise and tailored job descriptions that accurately outline role expectations, skills, competencies and qualifications. This ensures your business can attract the right talent and streamline your recruitment process.

Our tailored job descriptions provide clarity on role expectations, ensuring employees understand their responsibilities within your business.

Performance Review Framework

We specialise in designing and implementing bespoke performance review frameworks tailored to the unique needs and goals of your business. Recognising that one size does not fit all, our custom frameworks emphasise continuous feedback and regular review cycle. Moving beyond traditional annual reviews we create a dynamic processes that support ongoing employee development and engagement.

You can choose to incorporate a mix of quantitative and qualitative assessment methods, including 360-degree feedback and goal-based evaluations. We ensure that the performance review process is comprehensive, fair, and transparent.

We also provide tools and training that equip managers with the skills to conduct constructive reviews, set achievable goals, and offer actionable feedback.
