ABOUT US

HR Focus launched in Summer 2008 and, since this time, have worked with a variety of clients on a range of issues too vast to mention!

Our clients include:

• Start-up businesses
  We work with businesses who want to get things right from the start.  Involving HR at the set up stage means that you don’t overlook issues which could become a problem at a later date such as issuing correct and effective contracts of employment, implementing effective pay procedures and setting up a legally compliant filing system and/or people database.
• Growing businesses
  We work with businesses who are expanding and who are finding that their original, more casual approach to people management is no longer effective or appropriate. We can help review and assess the business needs and implement more structure to your people management through the use of effective polices, documentation and record keeping and work with you to align your people strategy to your business strategy.
• Established small to medium sized businesses
  We work with established and successful businesses who aren’t large enough to have their own dedicated HR team but who want to ensure that they get the most out of their people without falling foul of tricky employment laws.  We act as your own HR department and are available when you need us, without you having to pay out for a regular monthly HR salary.
• Larger businesses
  We work with larger organisations who have their own HR team but who require more specialist advice and support or who don’t have the time or resources to carry out specific tasks or project work.  We can also help you recruit your own permanent HR team if you’re not sure what you actually need.
