We know how time-consuming HR can be, getting it wrong can be costly and disruptive to your business. Employment tribunals are on the rise, it's a worry for companies who don't have the time or money to go through lengthy court proceedings. Navigating employment law is a specialist area that requires specialist skills. By outsourcing your HR, you get the benefit of a qualified and experienced HR expert without the expense of an in-house HR department.
We will take the time to really understand your business, helping you make the best decisions for your company and employees. Sarah says: "We are passionate about making a difference to SMEs in the South Warwickshire area by providing comprehensive advice to our clients. Small businesses need flexible, realistic guidance but don't have the requirement for a full-time, permanent HR practitioner. This is where The HR Dept adds value to a small business, by providing the expertise of highly qualified HR professionals at a fraction of the cost of employing a full-time HR Manager."

What our clients have to say
We’ve had an excellent experience working with our HR partner. They are always there when we need them, consistently providing timely, expert advice. It’s incredibly reassuring to know there is always an advisor on hand, ready to support us—no matter the issue. Whether it’s day-to-day support or important updates, the communication is always prompt and clear. Their dependable, professional approach has made them a trusted extension of our team
The HR Dept have been incredibly supportive, effective, and responsive in times of need – whether that be advice be face to face, letter or telephone. Response time is good and always good to feel reassured that you are doing the right thing as a manager.
We were looking for an HRIS and there was no doubt that we would move over to Breathe HR after seeing a personalised demo with Vickie. It is simple to use and great to have everything in one place and it enables us to become more efficient with people management. It is easy to see who is absent, and sickness tracking means I don't need to keep lots of spreadsheets. Full training and guidance was provided from the onset, and the team were always on hand and easily contactable to answer any query - no question was too silly!
