Operational and Strategic HR consultancy services
Where people flourish, organisations thrive
By aligning strategy, structure, processes and people, HR is an enabler that impacts positively on the performance of every part of an organisation. As people and performance experts, we help you unlock potential, reduce costs, improve productivity, and support sustainable growth.
Flexible HR support that grows with you
From audits, documentation, and day-to-day guidance to one-off casework and employee-support interventions, we work onsite or remotely, as a retained partner or on a pay-as-you-need-us basis, depending on your inhouse capability and the level of support you require.
An outsourced solution for startups and SMEs
If an organisation is only as good as its people, then, as the people function, HR is foundational for its success.
Outsourcing the function to an expert, like Seymour John, not only frees you up to concentrate on growing your business, but also saves you time, reduces costs, and mitigates risk, by ensuring best practice across the whole of your organisation.
