WHAT WE DO ON SITE

The people work, handled properly, where your people are.

From the meeting nobody wants to chair to the handbook nobody's updated in years, your on-site consultant takes it on and does it right. Here's the ground we cover.

Employee relations

Investigatory meetings, disciplinaries and grievances run fairly and to a defensible process, plus performance and absence management handled from first conversation to outcome. When emotions are high, having an experienced third party in the room changes how the day goes.

Policies & compliance

Contracts and handbooks written for how you actually work, right-to-work checks done properly, and your GDPR and UK employment law obligations kept current as the rules shift. No more relying on terms you wrote years ago and hope still hold.

Recruitment & onboarding

Job design, interviewing and offers through to pre-employment checks and a proper induction plan, so new people arrive to a role that's been thought through and start well rather than sink.

Wellbeing & engagement

Staff surveys with an action plan that actually follows, recognition schemes, EDI initiatives and culture workshops that move the needle on how people feel about turning up, not tick-box exercises that gather dust.

Training & coaching

Line-manager essentials, difficult conversations, and how to handle absence and performance without making it worse. We build the confidence and capability of your managers so fewer issues land on your desk in the first place.

HR operations

HRIS setup, process mapping, reporting and tidy-ups of the legacy files nobody's dared open. We turn a scattered, half-documented function into something that runs cleanly and gives you numbers you can trust.

WHAT WORKING WITH US IS LIKE

A trusted presence on site who already knows your people.

On-site HR means the person helping you understands your context, not just your policy. Your consultant runs meetings, holds drop-in clinics and takes walk-ups on your premises, so people get help at the moment they need it rather than a fortnight later. Over time that becomes a working relationship your team trusts, which is exactly why fewer problems escalate and the ones that do get resolved faster and more fairly.

HOW ON-SITE SUPPORT WORKS

Flexible days, embedded delivery, clear outcomes.

You book the level of support you actually need, and we agree what good looks like before we start. No open-ended commitment, no surprises on the invoice.

— STEP 01
Flexible booking
Book a half-day, a full day, or retained days each month. Scale it up when there's a surge and back down when things settle, so you only pay for the presence you need.
— STEP 02
Embedded delivery
Meetings, clinics and walk-ups run on your site, so people can get help when they need it rather than waiting for a callback. Your consultant becomes a familiar face, not a voice on a helpline.
— STEP 03
Clear outcomes
We agree priorities, deliverables and timescales before the first day, so everyone knows what we're there to achieve and how we'll know it's done.
— STEP 04
Straightforward pricing
Transparent day rates with any travel agreed in advance. You see the cost up front and nothing lands afterwards that you didn't expect.

WHEN TO BRING US IN

The moments an extra pair of hands on site pays for itself.

Most clients call us at one of these points. If any of them sound like your month, on-site support is likely the fastest way through.

A surge in cases

Employee relations cases or sickness levels have spiked and your usual capacity can't keep up. We add experienced hands on site to work through the backlog properly rather than letting it fester.

Growth or restructuring

Rapid growth, a restructure or TUPE activity is changing the shape of your workforce. We handle the consultation and the process so the change lands cleanly and lawfully.

Audit or tribunal risk

You're preparing for an audit or want to reduce your exposure to a claim. We get your files, processes and documentation into a state that stands up to scrutiny.

New managers finding their feet

Newly promoted managers need confidence and capability quickly. We coach them on site so they handle their first tricky conversations well instead of learning the hard way.

Cover during a gap

You need HR cover during a period of leave, or while you hire a permanent replacement. We step in on site so nothing drops while the seat is empty.

YOUR CONSULTANT

The HR specialist who turns up and gets stuck in.

You get one named consultant, qualified in employment law, who comes to your site and learns your team. When they walk in, they already know the backstory, so you're never briefing from scratch.

QUESTIONS

Common questions about on-site HR

How is on-site HR booked?
Flexibly, by the day. You can book a half-day, a full day, or a set number of retained days each month, and scale that up or down as your needs change. There's no obligation to commit to a long contract to get help with what's in front of you today.
What does an on-site day actually involve?
Whatever you need most. That might be chairing an investigatory meeting or disciplinary, running a drop-in clinic for managers, working through a stack of grievances, updating contracts and policies, or coaching a new manager. We agree the priorities before the day so the time is spent where it counts.
How much does it cost?
We charge transparent day rates, with any travel agreed in advance so there are no surprises on the invoice. Retained days each month usually work out most cost-effective for ongoing needs, while ad-hoc days suit one-off surges. Ad-hoc HR support is charged at £110/hour + VAT, with retained monthly days quoted to your needs.
How far will you travel?
We support clients on site across the UK. Travel is agreed with you in advance and built into the quote up front, so you always know the full cost of a day before you book it.
Will I get the same consultant each time?
Yes. You get a named consultant who learns your team, your context and your history. When they arrive on site they already know the backstory, so nothing is lost in a handover and your people deal with a familiar, trusted face.
Can you cover a period of leave or a vacancy?
Yes. On-site cover during maternity, long-term absence or while you recruit is one of the most common reasons clients bring us in. We step in so the HR function keeps running and nothing drops while the permanent seat is empty.
We only have a live issue right now, not ongoing needs. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Many clients first bring us in mid-problem, for a surge in cases, a tricky grievance or an urgent restructure, and only later move onto retained days. Book a discovery call and we'll scope exactly the level of support you need, no more.
