Our HR support services cover the full range of day-to-day and strategic HR needs. Every service can be accessed through our retained HR package or on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis.
A dedicated HR consultant on retainer giving your business unlimited employment law advice, proactive HR guidance, and the confidence of expert support available whenever you need it. Ideal for businesses that want ongoing, reliable HR without the cost of a full-time hire.
End-to-end recruitment support from writing job descriptions and advertising roles to screening candidates and advising on offer letters and employment contracts. We help you hire the right people compliantly and efficiently.
Tailored employee handbooks that cover workplace policies, employee rights, conduct expectations, and company values. Fully compliant with current UK employment law, including updates from the Employment Rights Act 2025.
We draft and implement legally compliant workplace policies covering data protection, equal opportunities, disciplinary procedures, health and safety, flexible working, and more — protecting your business and setting clear expectations for staff.
Step-by-step guidance through formal disciplinary hearings, grievance investigations, and appeal processes. We ensure you follow the correct statutory procedure and protect your business from costly employment tribunal claims.
Expert guidance through the full redundancy process — from the initial business case and selection criteria to consultation periods, notice, and settlement agreements minimising legal risk at every stage.
Risk assessments, health and safety policies, and ongoing compliance support to maintain a safe working environment. We ensure your business meets its obligations under UK health and safety legislation without the administrative burden.
Bespoke training programmes to develop your team's skills, confidence, and performance. From leadership development and mental health awareness to sales training and communication skills all aligned to your business goals.
Small businesses face the same employment law obligations as large corporations, but without a dedicated HR team to manage them. A single misstep in a disciplinary process, redundancy situation, or employment contract can expose your business to an employment tribunal claim, with average awards running into tens of thousands of pounds.

Our HR professionals offer expert HR advice and consulting services, aiding in everything from HR strategy development to specific HR projects. HR consulting with Harwood provides not just solutions but also peace of mind through rigorous compliance and support services.

Unlike large national HR providers that operate through call centres and generic advice lines, Harwood HR Solutions gives you a named, dedicated consultant who understands your business and your people.
HR support services cover all aspects of managing the people side of your business, including employment contracts, disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancy, recruitment, staff handbooks, absence management, and employment law compliance. Businesses can access these services through an outsourced HR provider like Harwood HR Solutions rather than employing a full-time HR manager.
With retained HR, you pay a fixed monthly fee for unlimited access to a dedicated HR consultant, ideal for businesses with regular HR needs. Pay-as-you-go HR means you only pay when you need support — suited to businesses with occasional, one-off HR challenges. Both options give you access to the same qualified Harwood HR team.
The cost varies depending on your business size, the level of support required, and whether you choose a retained or pay-as-you-go arrangement. As one of the UK’s trusted outsourced HR providers, Harwood HR Solutions offers competitively priced packages that are significantly more cost-effective than employing an in-house HR manager.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduced several significant changes for UK employers, including strengthened unfair dismissal protections from day one of employment, new rights around flexible working, and reforms to zero-hours contracts.
