HOW ABSOLUTE HR CAN HELP
Practical HR support for your business.
Whether you need an experienced HR partner on an ongoing basis, want to build your managers' confidence, or need help with a specific HR issue, Absolute HR provides practical support that makes HR easier.
Clear advice. Practical solutions. Experienced support when you need it.
The right HR support for where your business is now.
Not every business needs the same level of HR support.
Sometimes you need someone you can rely on every week. Sometimes your managers need help building their confidence. And sometimes you just need an experienced HR professional to help you work through a particular situation.
That's why Absolute HR offers three ways to work together.
HR Partner Retainer
ONGOING HR SUPPORT
Your HR partner, without the full-time hire.
Your business doesn't necessarily need a full-time HR Manager.
But when people matters become part of the day-to-day running of your business, having an experienced HR professional in your corner can make all the difference.
The HR Partner Retainer gives you ongoing access to experienced HR support without the cost and overhead of employing a full-time HR team.
We get to know your business, your people and how you operate — so when something comes up, you're not starting from scratch.
You have someone to call. Someone who knows the context. Someone who can tell you what she'd do.
Support can include:
Day-to-day HR advice
Employee relations
Performance management
Difficult employee situations
Policies and procedures
HR compliance
Manager support and coaching
HR strategy
People planning
Workplace issues
Training and development
The value of having an HR Partner
It's not just about having someone to call when there's a problem.
Ongoing HR support means having someone who understands your business over time — helping you respond to issues, support your managers, improve your HR practices and make better people decisions.
Experienced support. Ongoing relationship. No full-time hire.
TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
Give your managers the confidence to manage people well.
Managing people is a big part of being a manager — but most managers aren't given much training in how to actually do it.
Absolute HR delivers practical training and workshops designed to help managers handle people matters with greater confidence, consistency and care.
The focus is on real situations managers face every day — not HR theory.
Training and workshops can cover:
Managing Underperformance
How to identify, address and manage underperformance effectively, including setting expectations and having the right conversations.
Difficult Conversations
How to prepare for difficult conversations, address issues directly and keep the conversation constructive.
Effective One-on-Ones
How to run meaningful one-on-ones that improve communication, accountability, performance and connection with your team.
Performance Improvement Plans
Understanding when a performance improvement plan may be appropriate, how to structure one and how to manage the process effectively.
Warnings & Performance Management
Building confidence around performance and conduct management, including warning practices, documentation and consistent processes.
Positive Duty Obligations
Helping managers understand their responsibilities and what good workplace practice looks like when it comes to preventing and responding to relevant workplace conduct.
Managing Workplace Conflict
Practical tools for recognising, addressing and managing workplace conflict before it escalates.
Manager HR Essentials
A practical introduction to the HR fundamentals managers need to know when leading people.
Training can be delivered as tailored workshops, focused manager sessions or training programs designed around the needs of your business.
PROJECT & SPECIALIST SUPPORT
Need help with something specific?
Sometimes you don't need ongoing HR support. You just need someone experienced to help you work through a particular issue, project or people matter.
Absolute HR can provide practical, specialist HR support when you need an experienced perspective, additional capability or help navigating something you're not comfortable handling alone.
Support can include: Workplace investigations Practical support through sensitive or complex workplace matters. Performance and conduct matters Guidance through difficult performance or conduct situations. Restructures and organisational change HR support when your business, roles or team structure need to change. Policy and process reviews Reviewing and improving your HR policies and processes. HR projects Additional HR capability when you have a project that needs experienced support. Specialist HR advice An experienced HR perspective when you need to work out what to do next.
Bring us the problem. We'll help you work out what needs to happen next.
Not sure which service is right for you?
You don't need to work that out before you contact us. A conversation is often the easiest place to start.
Experienced HR support. Made simple.
HR doesn't need to be complicated.
You need advice you can understand, practical solutions that work for your business and an experienced HR professional who can help you navigate the people side of running a business.
