HR Projects & Support

Practical HR help, without a retainer

Get your HR foundations in place, find out where you stand, or bring in experienced support for exactly what you need.

Our HR projects

Hive HR Foundations

Designed for a growing small business that hasn't properly set up its HR infrastructure.

It can include:

  • HR health check
  • Employment contract review
  • Employee handbook
  • Core policies
  • Starter/leaver processes
  • Probation process
  • Sickness/absence process
  • Holiday arrangements
  • HR document/template pack
  • 60-minute owner/manager handover session

Hive People Health Check

A review of contracts, policies, employee files, processes, legal and compliance risks, and current people challenges.

The result is a short Red / Amber / Green action plan showing what needs addressing.

  • Red Address now
  • Amber Plan to fix
  • Green In good shape

Ad Hoc HR Support

For companies that aren't ready for a retainer.

Support is available as:

  • An initial 30-minute consultation
  • HR advice when you need it
  • Half-day and full-day support
  • Additional days for retainer clients
  • Urgent/priority work

Senior HR Consultant

Senior HR expertise on demand. Bring in an experienced HR consultant for a defined piece of work, a period of change or a challenging situation, without adding a permanent senior hire.
