About

Experienced judgement without unnecessary overhead.

Your People Team was created for organisations that need senior HR judgement but do not always need a permanent senior HR hire. We provide independent, practical support when a people issue is sensitive, a decision is difficult or the organisation needs additional capability to move forward.

01 Why we exist

Between an advice line and a large engagement.

Many organisations fall between two imperfect options: generic advice lines that do not understand the context, or large professional-services engagements that are disproportionate to the problem.

Your People Team provides direct access to experienced support, scoped around the situation rather than the size of the provider.

02 What to expect

What clients can expect

  • Clear

    Advice that explains the issue, options and reasoning in ordinary language.

  • Independent

    Constructive challenge that is not tied to internal politics, historic decisions or a predetermined outcome.

  • Proportionate

    The right level of process and resource for the real risk, not complexity for its own sake.

  • Practical

    Documents, decisions and implementation support that can be used in the organisation as it actually operates.

04 A little character

Office support

Skip is the Chief Entertainment Officer. He is responsible for morale, biscuit audits and reminding everyone that not every problem improves when stared at for another hour. He also turns up across this website when something has gone missing or needs a moment to load.

Want to know whether we are the right fit?

Independence, experience and proportionality are easy to claim. The quickest way to test them is a conversation about something real.
