HR Support
Flexible support with real impact
We pride ourselves on being practical, outcome-led partners who get under the skin of your business to find out exactly what people solutions you need to deliver on your growth plans.
Our services are comprehensive and yet fully flexible to your needs; from providing basic HR infrastructure and technology, to ensuring seamless HR operations that positively impacts employee experience, as well as coaching people managers or helping you identify and develop your talent. Whatever needs we identify, we have an experienced team ready to deliver the full range of HR services. You can have as little or as much resource as you want, depending on how fast you want to go and how much you need to do.
Because we’re flexible, and your needs may change over time, we have a number of ways we can work together.
Flexible support with real impact
Our retained option allows you to focus on growing your business, knowing that your people plan is in the right hands. We work with you to understand all of your needs, and then it’s over to us to deliver all of your HR activity, from your people strategy right down to the everyday admin.
How it works
We typically work with your senior team to develop a minimum 12-month people plan in line with your current business situation and growth plans. We agree upfront on the scope of work, key deliverables and the time required from both us and you. We then work to the plan, over a set period of time with costs spread accordingly to help you budget.

- A close strategic partnership with your senior management to help us set the plan -and flex if your needs change
- A team of Stratton HR experts with decades of experience, giving breadth and depth of knowledge where you need it
- Regular HR business partnering to support people managers
- Support for all employees at all stages of the employee lifecycle
- Access to our partners across HR technology, benefits and health & wellbeing
Our project work is perfect for when you need short term expertise in a specific area of HR, or where you simply need more resource to enable you to speed up delivery.
How it works
We can take full ownership of a project for you, or work as an extension of your existing HR team. However you want to work, we’ll hand pick the very best from our team, matching their experience to your specific requirements. To date, we’ve led many successful projects for our clients, including:
- Talent acquisition and recruitment process management

HR Diagnostic
As your business grows, managing your workforce can become a real challenge. More often than not, HR systems and processes that were put in place early on in a company’s trajectory are not scalable and are no longer fit for purpose.
At Stratton HR, we know what a well-structured, high-performing team looks like and crucially, what HR provisions are needed to get the best out of your people. Our HR diagnostic involves a full audit of all aspects of your people management. Assessing the beginning to the end of the employee lifecycle, we undertake a full review ensuring we understand the context of your business, your growth plans and your culture. We seek feedback across all levels of your business, review any HR data you have to hand and understand the systems and processes you have in place, as well as assessing the team structure and skills you have / need now and in the future. This allows us to get under the skin of your business and make recommendations that are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring we’ve full grasped where you’re at, and more importantly where you’d like to get to.
