Throughout August, our team delivered a wide range of HR administration services to support clients with their day-to-day operations, solving everyday challenges that come with HR processes. This included preparing employment contracts, coordinating onboarding and inductions, arranging training, and managing changes to roles and salaries. We also provided ongoing support through the HR inbox, ensuring timely responses to employee queries.

    August 2025

    Our HR team has been extremely productive across the month of August, working across both retainer and non-retainer clients on a variety of people matters. This has included supporting investigation and disciplinary meetings, providing advice and guidance in relation to a potential redundancy situation, and managing regulatory and compliance-related casework. 

    We have also supported consultations regarding proposed shift changes, delivered an employee engagement survey and managed general day-to-day casework. 

    Despite some of our team taking (well-deserved) annual leave during August, the depth and flexibility of our team have ensured that client delivery has remained consistent and at the high standard expected. This responsiveness shows our commitment to solving problems quickly and tailoring solutions to each client’s needs.
