With HR Options, you don’t need to worry about trying to ‘fit in’ with one of our services, you can design your very own HR service that works for you. With HR Options, the more hours and half-day visits you purchase, the cheaper they become. With flexibility to top up throughout the year, and any hours or half days left can be used for training or other proactive projects.

You can tailor your HR Options to address the objectives of your business, from making the most out of supervisions, designing inductions, tackling recruitment and retention, coaching plans through to addressing a limited learning and development budget.
