Why do our clients work with The HR Agency?

  • "Other HR consultancies I've experienced, turn up in an emergency and tell us what we need to do. The point of difference with The HR Agency, is I know you can do all that, but there's never a suggestion that's all I'm going to get - with each project and interaction, I am confident you are focused on the whole health of the business. That's the value-add I get from working with The HR Agency."

  • "One of the most important parts of maintaining a supportive and creative culture at work is making sure that everything is set up for people to thrive, that everyone is treated fairly and that any bumps in the road are handled with compassion and care. The HR Agency has helped us hugely to make sure our systems, policies and the way we look after people is not only aligned with the law and best practice, but with our values and culture too."

    Alex Robinson, CEO, Hubbub

  • "I never think of you as outside our business, but you remain able to look at it objectively and give us [the Executive Board] practical, pragmatic guidance then work with us to implement solutions"

    Scott Muncaster, Mangaing Director three rocks ltd.

  • "Having Will on hand to help with queries as we go along has not only helped us numerous times, but also it’s upskilled our team along the way."

Who we support

We work with CEOs or Owners of SMEs, to deliver both strategic and operational results. We’re not just there for emergencies - we pride ourselves on getting to know your organisation and understanding what’s critical to your success. We then deliver bespoke services unique to your circumstances, giving you the peace of mind of executive-level support at a fraction of the costs.

We also partner with CPOs and HRDs in larger organisations, supporting them with the delivery of critical projects and independent view points on strategic matters.

How we support you?

Strategical

Improving the sustainability of your business, starts with strategy:

Where are you playing? Who are you playing with? Who are you playing against? How are you going to play? and Who do you need on your team?

From reviewing and guiding you to implement or update your governance framework - Vision, mission values; Board structure; Roles and responsibilities; Leadership capability; Structure; Risk register; Systems and policies; Technology and more - we work with you to define the Golden Thread and help ensure it runs through everything you do, guiding operational decisions and acitivity.

Operational

What sets a great organisation apart from a mediocre one, are its people and how they operate.

You need experienced and inspirational senior leaders, a competent management team with the aptitude to grow beyond the day-to-day operations, working together to create an environment where all employees are engaged and comfortable to be themselves and deliver great work for your organisation.

We work with you and your team to get the right people, in the right roles doing the right things for your organisation. How we do that is necessarily unique to your organisation.

Foundational

Yes getting the strategy right top-down is vital, but it can be in vane if you fail to get the basics in place.

This organisation you’re building needs solid foundations and those foundations need checking on a regular basis.

We start with a deep-dive review of your current people provision. Looking at all the touchpoints of the employee lifecycle - attraction; recruitment; onboarding; reward and recognition; employee relations; performance management; off-boarding - we provide a report on the current provision with recommendations on where to focus to further improve.

This has often proved to be the entry-point to long-term relationships with our clients. Relationships that have seen us improve the capability and sustainability of those organisations
