The HR support your small business needs 

HR support for small businesses encompasses a lot of aspects, and it may be difficult for you to know which way to turn to when there’s so much noise on the market.

The peace of mind you were looking for

Not knowing whether you’re on the right side of the law can be stressful – for lack of money or time, what often happens is that small businesses and startups choose to handle HR all by themselves. 

This is understandable, but can lead to dramatic consequences such as tremendous corporate fines that could simply put your business under. Are you really willing to take that risk?  

At Charlie, our HR services for small businesses means you can rely on our advisors and software to keep your business safe.  

Whether you’re a CEO in need of legally-compliant employment contracts, an Operations Manager building a thorough onboarding process or a Chief of Staff ensuring all mandatory HR policies are in place – Charlie’s got you covered: 

  • CIPD qualified professionals

  • A dedicated advisor by your side

  • Unlimited support via phone, email or chat

  • Bespoke company handbook and HR policies 

  • Annual compliance audits

  • Employment contracts 

  • Health and Safety 

  • DE&I 

  • Access to HR templates and letters 

  • HR software
