Senior HR strategy behind your HR team.
Access HR provides strategic HR support to businesses with an in-house HR or People team. Your team gets a senior HR lead and an HR specialist on call for HR strategy, specialist advice and project delivery, without the business adding permanent headcount. Your team stays the face of HR.
Your HR team runs the day-to-day. HR strategy keeps slipping.
Most in-house HR teams in growing businesses are built around operations. Then the business asks for more, and there's nobody senior to lean on.
Ongoing support, or a defined HR project.
Strategic HR Partner
A senior HR lead and HR specialist on call for your team, with bi-weekly strategy sessions and support in between. We advise, challenge and sense-check; your team delivers and owns the outcome.
Strategic HR Projects
We design and deliver a defined piece of HR work with your team, then hand it over ready to run.
We work through your HR team, never around it.
We don't speak to your employees or managers unless your team asks us to. We never go around your HR lead to the leadership team. The ownership and the credit stay with your team, and their capability grows every month they work with us.
In-house HR support, answered.
Can an HR consultancy work with our existing HR team?
Yes. Access HR works alongside in-house HR and People teams as senior strategic support and specialist capacity, while your team stays the face of HR.
Will you talk to our employees?
Not unless your HR team asks us to. In this model we work with your HR lead and, when invited, your leadership team.
Why not just send our HR team on training?
Courses teach the theory. Your team learns faster by working through your real cases and decisions with someone who has handled them across 6,000+ employees.
How is this different from an employment law helpline?
A helpline answers legal questions. We help your team build HR strategy and frameworks, and bring judgement from 10+ years of senior HR experience. Employment law access is included too.
