HR Policies Sorted. Without the Corporate Price Tag.
Professionally drafted, legally compliant HR policy packs for UK small businesses, so you can get back to actually running yours.
You started a business, not an HR department.
You're brilliant at what you do. But somewhere between hiring your first employee and figuring out what happens when someone calls in sick, things got… complicated.
Sound familiar?
-
"I know I need proper contracts, but I don't know where to start."
You've been meaning to sort this for months. Every week that passes is another week you're exposed.
-
"I downloaded a template from the internet - is that enough?"
Probably not. Generic templates miss critical details, don't reflect current UK law, and won't protect you when it matters.
-
"The employment law keeps changing - how do I keep up?"
The Employment Rights Act 2025/26 has introduced day-one unfair dismissal rights, new flexible working rules, and changes to zero-hours contracts. Most small businesses haven't caught up yet.
-
"I just want someone to tell me what I actually need."
You don't want 100 pages of corporate waffle. You want clear, usable documents that actually protect your business and treat your people fairly.
-
“I asked AI for a Policy and I am not sure whether it has everything I need in it”
You don’t want a policy that you ‘hope’ is right, you need to know it is right, so that you can protect your business.
That's exactly why these packs exist.
Proper HR. Plain English.
Genuinely affordable.
I'm Nicola, founder of Holistic HR Consultants and a CIPD-qualified HR professional with a background in the care industry, where getting people management right really matters.
I created these policy packs because I kept meeting brilliant small business owners who were either:
-
Completely winging it (and hoping nothing went wrong), or
-
Paying through the nose for retained HR support with one of the huge HR organisations they didn't fully need yet
There had to be a middle ground. So I built one.
Here's what makes us different:
✓ Fixed, transparent pricing - You know exactly what you're paying. No hourly rates. No surprise invoices.
✓ Properly drafted, legally compliant - Not generic templates. Professionally written policies reflecting current UK employment law (including the 2025/26 changes).
✓ Built for small businesses - Whether you've got 1 employee or 50, these packs are designed for the realities of running a growing team.
✓ Human, not corporate - You'll deal with me directly. I explain things in plain English, not HR jargon. Think of me as the knowledgeable friend you wish you had.
✓ Ethical and people-first - Good HR isn't about catching people out. It's about creating workplaces where people (and businesses) thrive.
✓ Always up to date - Free 2 year legal update subscription service with every pack
