Resolving conflict. Inspiring change.
We’re Not a ‘one size fits all’ service
Far from it. We work to deliver a HR service that delivers value for your business.
We can be your fully outsourced HR department dealing with all aspects of your people strategy, or if you want to be more hands on, we can advise you in the background on the tricky questions. Whatever your HR needs we’ve got your back!
It’s tough managing your staff and your business… But it doesn’t have to be.
Here at Rise HR we love to help small businesses succeed by removing the hassles and headache of managing people. We’ll be there with you when you need us most, face to face, at the end of the phone, e-mail, whatever best suits you. We’re your trusted advisor, and will give you peace of mind.
Small business HR delivered locally
We love small businesses and have been delivering commercially focused HR for nearly 15 years. Whilst we know remote working is the way of the world, we also know that lots of HR situations are still better managed face to face, in person. That’s why we have regionally based consultants who can come and support you with the tough conversations.
Why choose Rise HR?
We get to know our clients’ from the inside out. We are passionate about small businesses, inspired by the ability to grow from nothing through hard work and creative entrepreneurship. Whether your challenges come attached to reduced profits, family politics, or Trustee Board meetings we’ve usually been there many times before and helped overcome what on first appearance seems impossible.
We aren’t here just to tick boxes and keep you up-to-date with legal obligations (although we do that too!). We ARE here to help you effectively recruit the best people, to motivate and empower your existing employees and to improve business cultures.
