If you want HR that’s a little different and someone to be your biggest business cheerleader – you’ve come to the right place! UPP HR is a specialist consulting firm working with busy Founders to help them get their time back, stay HR compliant and build a workforce they are proud of. Our aim is to educate and set up businesses to self-manage their HR into the future so they don’t need to solely rely on someone else forever. We understand not everyone has the time (or interest!) to do the HR themselves, which is why we also offer operational HR services.We’re an experienced crew who can support and work alongside you through, anything from recruitment and tailoring onboarding procedures that excite you, getting the most from your teams (in a way they enjoy too), and through to the end of the employee lifecycle. Small to medium sized businesses are our specialty and we thrive by working with business owners who want to do better and who have an open mindset. We know our stuff and take what we do seriously, but don’t take ourselves too seriously! We are: recruitment, onboarding, performance management, restructures, HR strategy, employee experience, employment law advice, terminations and everything in between.

Working with a diverse range of clients across a variety of industries I coach, mentor and expertly advised clients on HR challenges from performance management to contracts and policies, organisational restructures to best practice recruitment. As part of our consulting services I work closely with clients to review their current HR frameworks, conducting HR Audits and Analysis to identify risk exposure and implementation of best practice frameworks.I enjoy getting to know businesses, the business owners/CEOs and their teams so I can make impactful change and provide advice through the tough times all businesses face. A fast paced organisation, where time management, adaptability, strong work ethic and a well-rounded HR skillset are essential to be a successful consultant. All of these key elements I have finely tuned while working at wattsnext.
