How We Work In many cases we can talk through situations over the phone, walking managers step by step through their particular enquiry and provide coaching and scripts to managers to support them in their execution of HR work from a distance. This includes preparing and tailoring scripts, letters and other documentation required to manage HR matters effectively. For more complex situations or when direct HR support is required, on site visits will be undertaken to support the delivery and implementation of HR activity. We tailor the service to suit your business needs, ensuring costs are controlled to deliver commercially effective solutions.
The Team HR Solutions is operated by two partners both of whom are qualified HR professionals along with carefully selected Associates to work as part of the team, to ensure they have a similar track record and buy into the same co-operative ethos that shapes the way we do business.
Responsibility for the management of people in business is a huge task as employers are required to keep up to speed with constant changes in employment legislation. It can be a daily challenge ensuring actions taken to manage employees are appropriate and compliant and managers often find their focus is taken away from delivering business results in order to manage business risks created from managing people in the wrong way. HR Solutions is an established business set up to provide managers with the support, knowledge and expertise to manage people and to provide pragmatic solutions around Human Resource Management.

“HR Solutions took time to understand our business needs and as a result was able to design and deliver a bespoke workshop for a wide ranging audience consisting of managers and trade union representatives. It really helped get the two groups to consider, from different perspectives, the people issues which emerge from making change in the business. It also created a platform for good debate and discussion.”
