Duchess HR
You want to do things the right way when it comes to your people, but you don’t need to employ an expensive Human Resources (HR) department to achieve this. We can offer you affordable commercially-driven support and advice on the terms you need, whether short-term, long-term, demand-driven or on a project basis. By outsourcing your HR needs, you’ll benefit from a fresh pair of eyes and the robust straight-forward advice that comes from over 30 years of accumulated experience. Contact us for a free consultation on whatever your people issues are, big or small, and let us discuss a practical and cost-effective solution for you.
Why choose us?
Most large, national HR services use call centres where it’s unlikely that you will speak the same person twice. At Duchess HR, we don’t have a call centre; you’ll talk to the same person that you have dealt with all along; meaning there will be no need for you to explain things twice. Our service is personal and bespoke to you, your company and your issues. We will always work hard to find the best, most cost effective and risk-free solution to deal with your situation. We are passionate about all people aspects in your company, whether you have 10 employees or 100, we can help. We are focused on helping companies like yours, and are experienced in finding ways to resolve situations which suit any circumstances.
