Frequently asked questions

  • Fractional HR support is like having your own HR department that’s perfectly scaled to fit your business. You get access to experienced HR professionals exactly when you need them, without the cost or commitment of having to build your own HR team.

  • At the Fractional HR Department, we work as an extension of your business. That might mean being on call for ad hoc HR queries, stepping in to handle a sensitive employee issue, or providing ongoing strategic HR advice for your business. 

    Before we start working together, we’ll agree on the level of involvement that suits your business the best, so you get the right level of help at the right time.

  • Good HR is all about creating the conditions for your people to do their best work. With fractional HR support, you can reduce compliance risks, improve employee engagement, and strengthen your business’s ability to attract, retain, and develop great people.

  • No. While compliance is important, we can also help with recruitment, performance management, culture, restructures, leadership development, and more. We cover the full range of people challenges that growing businesses face. 

  • Yes. Many businesses start with a one-off project (like employee contracts, handbooks, or onboarding) and then choose to continue with ongoing support. Our HR As You Go service is ideal for this kind of flexible arrangement.
