HR consulting services

What is HR consulting?

HR consulting is a set of services and ongoing advice that is provided by a third party to assist businesses with their HR function. Typically, HR consultants help firms to implement new best practice policies and procedures to maximise efficiency with their employee management.

There are several different reasons why a business might bring in HR consulting companies, which may include:

• They don’t have the right expertise in-house to manage the HR function on an ongoing basis
• They have a specific HR issue to resolve that requires additional expertise to their current in-house skill set
• They have an inexperienced in-house team and want additional support while their team is upskilled
• They want specialist employment law assistance when setting up new HR policies and procedures
• The business is driving forward big changes and want assistance with people management for this process

What are the benefits of using HR consulting companies?

There can be multiple benefits for businesses to use HR consultants for some or all of their HR function. These might include:

• Independent expertise – fresh and expert eyes on issues your business or staff may be having internally
• Legal compliance with all relevant regulations
• Quick response when HR issues crop up
• Expert input on existing or new policies and procedures
• Best practice approaches to employee development and training
• Input to improve recruitment and retention processes
• Access to best-in-class HR systems and tools without the initial cost outlay
