HR Support

Good HR is about creating a positive employee experience. It doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and we don’t tell our clients how to run their businesses.

Businesses with less than 250 employees tend to work with us on a retained basis, where they usually don’t have an in house HR team. We’re here to advise on employee relations issues when it’s not clear what the best way forward is, and we ensure our clients remain compliant across the board.

Larger businesses benefit from our help with bespoke projects, such as ED&I, remote/flexible working, redundancy and outplacements.

Our refreshingly different HR team have over 50 years’ experience between them, case studies and testimonials can be found here.

Contact the team
The friendly reassuring team have been providing HR support to The Solicitors’ Benevolent Association for some years. This year we have been focusing on our staff, looking at how we can better support and challenge them. The guidance and structure the HR team at PES have provided has been invaluable in designing an approach which will help us get the best from our own team.

Choose the right level of support

Once we’ve agreed the right level of service that’s right for the client, our pricing is clear and transparent with no hidden fees. We deliver customised HR project work, provide regular support for a monthly retainer, or offer a combination of both.

Project fees are fixed and bespoke to the agreed requirements. We could be working on implementing a new equality, diversity and inclusion procedure, or assist (or act on a client’s behalf) through organisational change.

We provide phone and email support for an affordable monthly retainer. Straightforward, easy-to-access HR advice, with a range of helpful templates – ideal for managing day-to-day people challenges.

Excellent, no-nonsense, thorough, professional and knowledgeable approach… Highly recommended.

We have worked with the HR team for a number of years and their helpful and pragmatic approach to some tricky situations has been invaluable. What is refreshingly different about Cathy, Lisa and Pam is that they are as far away from the fence as is needed to help a SME like Winford Ford.
