Why It Matters

Businesses often reach a point where compliance alone isn't enough. Without a clear people strategy, growth can stall, leadership gaps can emerge, and employee engagement may suffer. HR Excel helps you build a stronger, future-ready workforce.

How This Differs From HR Protect

While HR Protect focuses on compliance, contracts, and essential HR administration, HR Excel is designed for businesses ready to think strategically about their people. This is the right upgrade when:

You're scaling fast and need workforce planning to support growth without losing culture or overstretching your team

Leadership gaps are emerging and you need succession planning and development programmes to build capability from within

Employee engagement is slipping and you want to create a high-performance culture that attracts and retains top talent

Benefits to You

Aligns people strategy with business growth

Develops leadership capability at all levels

Improves employee engagement and retention

Builds resilience with succession and workforce planning

Supports innovation and long-term cultural change

Real Examples

Succession Planning

The Challenge

A professional services firm with 45 employees faced potential disruption as three senior partners approached retirement.

Our Solution

We identified and developed future leaders through a structured development programme, creating clear progression pathways.

The Outcome

All three transitions completed smoothly with zero client disruption. Internal promotions saved £120K in external recruitment costs.

Culture Transformation

The Challenge

A scaling tech company grew from 20 to 80 employees in 18 months, losing the collaborative culture that made them successful.

Our Solution

We embedded a high-performance culture framework with clear values, leadership behaviours, and engagement initiatives.

The Outcome

Employee engagement scores increased from 62% to 87% within 12 months. Staff turnover dropped from 28% to 12%.

DEI Strategy

The Challenge

A retail business with 60 employees recognised their lack of diversity was limiting innovation and market reach.

Our Solution

We rolled out a tailored inclusion programme with blind recruitment, inclusive leadership training, and employee resource groups.

The Outcome

Workforce diversity improved by 35% within 2 years. Employee satisfaction increased 22%, and the business won industry recognition for inclusive practices.

Pricing & Who It's For

From £499/month (excl. VAT) based on 10 employees

One-off setup/onboarding fee: £795

Ideal for organisations that already have the HR essentials in place

Best for SMEs looking to invest in leadership, culture, and long-term people strategy
