The Go-To People For HR Advice In Dorset

HR is it a bit of a tricky field to navigate, particularly when it comes to legal matters. It’s much easier to invest in sound HR advice, rather than to dig yourself out of a legal hole.

Luckily, the Streetwise HR ladies are Dorset’s HR answer to Charlie’s Angels– minus the cat-suits and impressive gymnast moves.

We’ll use our extensive experience and knowledge to make sure you’re properly informed and making all the right decisions when it comes to your business’s HR matters. And we’ll convey it all in an easy-to-digest way.

We come with a good sense of humour, and a decent amount of wit, too.

HR Strategy – Dorset Businesses Come Right This Way

Your approach to HR should align with the rest of your business – it’s not something you peg on to the end hoping it’ll stick with you.

It needs to be integrated into your business’s goals, so you can always attract and retain the best talent, develop your team members, measure performance, and reward those who have helped to make your business the successful business it is. That’s where you need a Streetwise HR strategy.

We Can Take Care Of All Of These HR Responsibilities Too:

HR is a very broad industry, covering exciting matters like growing your business and rewarding your incredible employees. But it can also come with lots of difficult, dull, or time-consuming tasks like:

  • Compliance

  • Settlement agreements and employment tribunals

  • Training and workshops

  • Business and exit planning

Trust the team at Streetwise HR to delve right into your HR matters. We’ll provide impactful support, deliver engaging, helpful workshops, and also provide compassionate, expert advice just when you need it.
