When your business grows, your HR needs to grow with it.

There comes a point in every growing business when the informal approach to HR starts to creak.

You have more employees. More managers. More policies. More questions. More data. More risk!

Perhaps you're moving from spreadsheets to an HR system. Maybe you're hiring your first HR person. Perhaps your existing processes aren't keeping up with the pace of growth. Or maybe you simply want confidence that your HR foundations are doing what they should.

That's where Kite Consulting comes in.

I help businesses move from ad hoc HR to structured, effective and scalable HR: putting the right processes, systems, governance and support in place for the next stage of growth.

Tailored solutions for you and your business

HR Operations

Make HR simpler, more consistent and easier to manage.

I can help you review, build or improve your HR Operations: from employee lifecycle processes and service delivery to documents, workflows and day-to-day HR infrastructure.

    • HR operating models

    • Employee lifecycle processes

    • Joiner, mover and leaver processes

    • HR administration and service delivery

HR Systems & Technology

The right system is only useful if it works for your business.

Whether you're implementing your first HR system or discovering that your existing system just isn't delivering what you need, I can help you make your HR technology work harder.

    • HRIS selection and implementation

    • HR system optimisation

    • System and process design

    • Data quality and cleansing

    • Employee and manager self-service

I have experience working with systems including Workday, SAP, SuccessFactors, CezanneHR, IFS Cloud, ServiceNow, Power BI and LMS platforms, alongside global HR operations environments.

HR Governance & Compliance

Good HR governance gives you confidence as you grow.

HR shouldn't become a source of unnecessary risk. I help businesses understand where their HR foundations are strong, where the gaps are, and what needs to happen next.

    • HR health checks

    • Policy reviews

    • HR compliance reviews

    • Governance frameworks

    • Risk assessment

    • Audit preparation

    • HR controls

    • Documentation and record keeping

    • Employment lifecycle compliance

    • Management information and reporting

With practical focus:

Identify the risks, prioritise what matters and put workable solutions in place.

Building HR for Growth

Establish the HR foundations before it’s too late to fix.

I can help you implement the people infrastructure you need before your business scales, from establishing your first HR framework to reviewing the efficiency of an existing function.

    • Designing an HR operating model

    • Establishing HR processes and governance

    • Building policy frameworks

    • Introducing HR systems

    • Improving employee lifecycle processes

    • Supporting managers

    • Developing HR reporting

    • Workforce planning

    • Preparing for organisational growth

    • Transitioning responsibilities to an internal HR team

Whether you're at 10 employees or 100+, the principle is the same:

Build the right foundations now, so your HR can keep pace with your business.

Need More Hands-On HR Support?

Not every business needs a full-time Head of HR.

Sometimes you need an experienced HR professional for a particular period, project or stage of growth.

Kite Consulting can provide fractional, interim or project-based HR support, giving you access to senior HR expertise when you need it.

  • Ongoing support without the commitment of a permanent senior HR hire.

  • Experienced HR leadership during a period of change, transition or absence.

  • Focused expertise to deliver a defined HR project or improvement.

  • Practical support when something comes up and you need an experienced HR professional in your corner.

When you need an experienced pair of hands

While Kite Consulting's core focus is helping businesses build and improve their HR infrastructure, sometimes you simply need someone experienced to take a situation away and deal with it properly.

I can also provide independent support for specific HR matters, including:

  • Employee relations support

  • Disciplinary and grievance processes

  • Workplace investigations

  • Investigation reports

  • Policy and process reviews

  • Complex employee matters

  • Manager support and coaching

These services can be provided as standalone assignments or alongside wider HR support.
