Need HR support but not sure which option actually makes sense for your business?
HR support isn't a one size fits all. There are different ways it can help you and each one suits a different situation.
Option 1: Training an existing employee to handle HR alongside their main role.
It can work in very small teams but the risk is overloading someone and things getting missed.
Option 2: Hiring an in-house HR manager.
You get dedicated, daily support but the salary and on-costs don't always stack up for smaller businesses.
Option 3: Using a national HR provider.
Useful for basic, low-risk queries but you'll often speak to someone different each time with a limited understanding of how your business runs.
Option 4: Working with an independent HR consultant.
You get tailored, consistent support from someone who knows your business, without adding another salary to payroll.
The right fit depends on your size, your budget and how hands-on you need that support to be.
If you want to talk through what makes sense for where you are right now, we're always happy to have that conversation.
