FRACTIONAL CPO & OUTSOURCED HR SUPPORT

The HR Expertise Your Business Needs - When and How You Need It

Flexible access to experienced, trusted HR leadership and support without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

Experienced HR Support That Scales With Your Business

Not every organisation needs a full-time Chief People Officer or internal HR team, but most growing organisations need CPO-level thinking and advice. Our Fractional CPO and Outsourced HR Support model gives you flexible access to experienced, trusted HR leadership and practitioner support tailored to your stage, structure and budget. We help you build scalable people foundations, with or without an existing internal HR function.

Is this the right support for you?

A Fractional CPO or outsourced HR arrangement is a good fit if you are:

A business that isn't yet big enough to justify a permanent HR hire - but big enough that people decisions are too important to leave to chance.
A growing business where HR hasn't kept pace with the scale - whether you have a coordinator or manager in place but lack executive-level strategy, or you simply need more than ad-hoc advice.
Going through a restructure, acquisition or significant change and need experienced HR leadership in the room.
A private equity or investment firm needing strategic HR support across a portfolio company without committing to a full-time hire.
An organisation with an HR vacancy at a senior level and needing to steady the function while you recruit.
A business that wants to build internal HR capability over time, with experienced mentoring and support alongside.

How We Can Support You

Engagements are flexible and tailored, but typically include a mix of:

People Strategy Design and Embedding

Designing a clear people strategy and HR operating model that connects to your business goals — then working alongside your team to embed it practically.

On-Call HR Advice and Support

Access to experienced HR expertise when you need it for Q&A, issue resolution, documentation, compliance guidance and day-to-day people decisions. Think of it as having a trusted HR advisor on speed dial without the full-time cost.

HR Foundations & Compliance

Building or strengthening your core HR frameworks, policies, employment contracts, performance processes and compliance settings so your business has the foundations it needs to grow with confidence.

Leading or Steadying the HR Function

Providing experienced HR leadership during periods of growth, change, transformation or vacancy so the function keeps moving and your people decisions stay sound.

Coaching and Developing Internal HR Leaders

Mentoring your internal HR leader or team to operate more strategically — building their capability alongside delivering the work.

Ongoing Advisory to Boards and Investors

Providing experienced HR advisory support to CEOs, founders, boards and private equity investors on people risk, governance and strategy.

If any of this sounds familiar:

You’re making significant people decisions without an experienced HR expert in the room.
Your HR function is operational but not strategic – and that gap is starting to cost you.
You’re growing fast and your people foundations haven’t kept pace.
You need experienced HR advice and support on call – without the cost of a full-time hire.

Fractional CPO

Strategic, executive-level HR leadership engaged on a part-time or project basis – sitting alongside your leadership team to shape and drive your people strategy.

Outsourced HR Support

A flexible monthly retainer that gives you access to an experienced HR practitioner including dedicated consulting hours and on-call support for advice, issue resolution and day-to-day HR decisions. Typically follows an initial consulting engagement but can be the right starting point depending on your business size and needs.
