HR emergencies

For when things have already hit the fan

Some HR situations need immediate, expert intervention and advice. I step in to handle the heavy lifting when you’re dealing with complex HR issues.

  • Dismissals, disciplinary hearings and appeals
  • Grievances and investigations
  • Redundancies and restructures
  • Sexual harassment allegations
  • Performance management
  • Long-term sickness management

“Sarah provided an excellent review of our employment contract, offering thorough and pragmatic guidance.”

“The maintainer has been great as it helps us keep up momentum on our HR/people activities and in particular improving our processes.”

Stop problems before they become expensive with an HR MOT

Spot the problems before they become expensive disasters – I’ll make sure your business fundamentals (like contracts, policies, and more) are fit for work, preventing HR emergencies.

Choose a focus or build a package:

  • Policy reviews
  • Management competence
  • Discrimination & harassment
  • Performance & probation

Or a complete HR audit

Resolve conflict without the gruelling grievance process

Most workplace disagreements just need a proper conversation. However, workplace mediation led by a skilled, experienced mediator makes sure that the conversation is calm, effective, and ends in an amicable resolution.
