They do this through the provision of a range of services including recruitment, training, drafting employment contracts and HR policies and handbooks, and supporting performance management. HR consultants develop HR strategies, advise on compensation and benefits, and assist in employee relations. 

  • What is the difference between hr manager and hr consultant?

    An HR manager is a full-time employee while an HR consultant is typically an external expert hired on a temporary or fractional basis basis. Both are responsible for overseeing the day-to-day HR functions within a specific organisation, including recruitment, employee relations, compliance, and policy implementation. 

  • How does a hr consultancy work?

    Fractional HR consultancy involves hiring an HR expert on a flexible basis to provide strategic and operational HR support without the commitment of a full-time employee. These consultants work with multiple clients, offering services such as recruitment, compliance, training, and employee relations tailored to the specific needs of each organisation. Businesses benefit from the consultant's expertise and experience while only paying for the time and services they require, making it a cost-effective solution for managing HR functions, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises.

  • What are the main responsibilities of hr consultant?

    An HR consultant is responsible for assisting with recruitment and staffing, designing training and development programs, ensuring legal compliance, and managing performance appraisals. They develop strategic HR plans, advise on compensation and benefits, and aid in organisational growth and change management. Additionally, an HR consultant will handle employee relations, recommend and implement HR technologies, and manage outsourced HR functions such as payroll and benefits administration. Their expertise helps organisations optimise their HR operations and maintain a productive and compliant work environment.

  • What should I look for in an hr consultant?

    When choosing an HR consultant, look for someone with relevant experience and expertise in your industry, a proven track record of successful projects, and strong knowledge of employment laws and regulations. They should have excellent communication and problem-solving skills, be adaptable to meet your company’s specific needs, and offer strategic insights. Additionally, check for positive references from similar sized clients.

  • What should be included in an employee handbook?

    An employee handbook typically includes information on company policies, employee rights and responsibilities, code of conduct, benefits, disciplinary procedures, and safety protocols.
