Take your business to the next level

We are your HR Partner

Why choose ConsultingHQ as your HR partner?

We’ll take you from compliance, to strategic business growth – and beyond

As your HR partner, our immediate role is to make sure that your documents, processes, and procedures are all up-to-date and legally compliant under the Employment Relations Act.

And we’ve got some cool and extremely comprehensive HR software to do the heavy lifting: EMS Hub lets you automate processes; saves you time; and helps you stay compliant. All our HR Partner Plan clients get access to EMS Hub as standard, because we believe no business should be without it.

How do the ConsultingHQ HR Partner Plans work?

HR Partner Plans are monthly retainer programmes covering all essential elements of effective, compliant HR management – at a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house HR Manager

HR Partner Plans:
  • Reduce the risk of employer errors resulting in costly grievances.
  • Save considerable amounts of time.
  • Add robustness to standard HR policies.
  • Increase employer management effectiveness and confidence.
  • Focus on a strategic approach to your HR, with your growth objectives being central to decision making and planning.

HR Partner Plans are progressive HR programmes covering every critical aspect of essential HR practices to minimise employee headaches and maximise employee productivity.

In short, you will have access to expert HR advice – without having to employ an HR manager in your team.

The first step is to assess if our HR partner solutions are the right fit for your business.

HR Partner Plans are customised, so the right level of support is provided for employers at each stage of the employment and business journey.

“We have been partnering with ConsultingHQ for a few years and their team has brought a high level of professionalism and structure to the HR function in our business. The value that they add as an HR partner has helped our business develop and execute a proactive HR strategy while providing frequent support to our teams. The consistency of service, level of expertise, and accessibility has meant the provision of an outsourced HR function has been just like having someone in-house, but with much greater cost efficiency. If you are looking for an outsourced HR partner to understand your business drivers, help you better engage your staff, and who genuinely cares, then look no further.”

Frequently asked questions about HR Partner Plans

The very first step is a consultation, which is absolutely free. During that, if we both feel it’s a good fit, we’ll discuss how the programme would be best implemented in your business. Every client’s programme is tailored to their specific requirements.

HR Partner Plans include all the everyday aspects of running an SME HR Strategy for optimum employee engagement and productivity. The programme is 100% focused on achieving a higher level of growth for your business.

Plus you will receive EMS Hub for all employees. This is our fully-featured HR software that lets you automate processes; saves you time; and helps you stay compliant.

HR Partner Plans are a monthly retainer based on the recommended number of hours required for your business. That way, your monthly overheads remain stable (while your HR dramas reduce) – allowing you to focus increasingly on the strategic path for your business.

HR Partner Plans are designed as a complete and on-going management programme for all of your HR needs. Because the programme is customised for your business requirements, you will find that it brings increasing value as you travel through the months. This means that over time you will require increasingly less tactical HR input, and focus more on strategic HR instead.

The problem with an ad hoc HR approach is that it’s very much the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. And the ambulance will inevitably return if the issues aren’t addressed in a strategic manner.

We can add so much more value to your business as your strategic human resources partner.

Across the full team, we have over 118 years of combined experience in strategic business management, with specialist consultants in various areas including HR, each with 10+ years’ experience. You’re in good hands! Read what our customers say about working with us.
Yes: our business model is to expand as our clients’ businesses grow. So rather than restrict access to our services, we’ll grow to align with your needs, as we see ourselves as your human resources business partner.

You can get started any time you like – assuming the programme is a good fit for you.

Let’s talk and get the ball rolling!

You are committed to a minimum of 12 months in the HR Partner Plan. Most clients do not wish to leave after that period!

“We’re in our 3rd year of using ConsultingHQ to assist us with all matters pertaining to HR, including employment contracts, procedures and policy manuals, performance management, performance reviews, training opportunities, etc. I’ve always found their services to be professional and understanding of our community’s needs, which is very important to me. They have been a great support through some of the tricky minefields of HR, and not only to me but also to the Team Managers – they have built a solid rapport with the whole team. They also provide frank and honest feedback and guidance that I have found very valuable and often contains information that I would not have been able to obtain myself directly.”
