At HR Gurus we pride ourselves on our relationships working with a number of law firms who support all of our documentation including contracts of employment. We pride ourselves on our pragmatic outcomes-focused approach that ensures our clients can act with confidence and make informed decisions when dealing with tricky HR situations.

Yes we do. We have clients all over the country and lucky for Zoom meetings there is not much we cannot do virtually these days! We provide training online and we also travel to clients when they need us to. We are super flexible.

Our consultants all have varied years and levels of experience but all of our people are qualified and have worked across multiple industries.

We find that employing a HR Manager directly can have some negative impacts, these include:

• An internal HR resource is stand-alone and has no one to support them.
• An internal HR resource will become part of your furniture and will build relationships with people that will make it difficult to remain impartial should conflicts arise.
• An internal HR resource is likely to get bogged down in non-value-add transactional work during their hours and fail to focus on strategic value add activities that drive improved results.
• An internal HR resource will need to create your HR structure from scratch which takes significant time and effort.
• An internal HR resource will be available only the days when they are onsite and will generally be employed traditionally meaning you are taking a risk employing directly meaning it will not be easy to scale up or down should you need to.

We provide a number of comprehensive HR Consulting services designed and tailored especially for businesses just like yours. So, what do we do? We have a range of HR Consulting Services that can help you to get back to running your business, all designed to be flexible, tailored and effective:

Once you join, book an available 15-minute slot. We call you at the booked time and provide practical guidance based on what you share. Best for short questions and next-step clarity, not document review or full case management.

Legal representation, payroll processing, tax, OH&S, EAP services, full document review, or full management of a termination or investigation process. Where we can’t help directly, we’ll point you toward a trusted specialist.
