HR Training for Small Businesses That Actually Works
Great HR in small businesses doesn’t happen by accident, it needs to be applied consistently day to day.
We help small businesses build practical, legally sound HR frameworks that support growth, performance and confident decision-making. But policies and processes alone aren’t enough. They only work when the people using them understand what to do and why it matters.
That consistency comes from trained people managers.
Line managers shape the employee experience through everyday conversations and decisions.
Without the right training, even well-meaning managers can create inconsistency, unnecessary risk and poor outcomes for both people and the business.
And where HR administration and people processes sit with someone in-house — often alongside another role — they also need proper, role-specific HR training.
Expecting someone to “just pick it up” increases pressure on individuals and risk for the organisation.
We offer high-quality HR training designed specifically for small businesses. Our courses are practical, commercially focused and based on real workplace scenarios — not generic theory.
We run open training courses throughout the year, ideal for businesses that can’t justify in-house delivery, and we also provide bespoke training, tailored to your people, challenges and existing HR processes.
Training Courses We Run
Line managers shape performance, engagement and culture every day — but many are promoted without training in people management.
HR Essentials for Line Managers gives managers the practical HR knowledge and confidence they need to manage people fairly, consistently and legally.
The course focuses on real-world situations faced in small businesses, helping managers avoid common mistakes while building strong, productive teams.
HR Essentials For Line Managers
HR for Non-HR Managers
In many small businesses, HR is handled by someone without formal HR training — often alongside another role.
HR for Non-HR Professionals is designed for those responsible for HR administration and processes. It provides a clear, practical grounding in employment law, HR best practice and day-to-day people processes, enabling participants to manage HR confidently and compliantly.
Managing Performance Confidently
Poorly handled performance issues cost time, money and morale.
Managing Performance Confidently equips managers with practical tools to address underperformance early, set clear expectations and run effective performance reviews. The course focuses on confident conversations, fair processes and consistent decision-making that supports both the individual and the business.
Custom HR Workshops
Sometimes you need training that reflects your business — not a generic programme.
Our Custom HR Workshops are tailored to your people, challenges and existing HR frameworks. We design focused sessions that reinforce your processes, address specific issues and support managers at the point they need it most.
Free HR Webinars
We also run free HR webinars throughout the year, covering key people management topics relevant to small businesses.
These short, practical sessions are designed to build confidence, share clear guidance and help you decide what further training or support may be right for your business.
