HR that covers every stage, from first hello to final goodbye
Most HR problems do not come from doing something wrong. They come from not having a process at all. We help you build one that works at every stage of the employee journey.
The framework
What is the Complete Employee Lifecycle?
It is the full journey every employee goes through, from before they join to after they leave. Seven stages. Each one with its own risks, its own processes, and its own opportunities to get things right or let them slip.
We work with small businesses across all seven stages, helping you put the right things in place before they become problems. You do not need to work on all of them at once. Most clients start with the area that is causing the most headaches and build from there.
What we cover
The seven stages
Click each stage to see what it covers and how we can help.
Before anyone joins your business, the foundations need to be right. Contracts, policies, pay structures, software, data handling. This is the layer everything else sits on top of. Get it wrong here and it creates problems at every stage that follows.
Also covers: digital signing, whistleblowing setup, rota and scheduling, gender pay gap reports, employment tribunal insurance, sponsor licence compliance, health and safety add-on.

HR done properly, at every stage
You do not need to sort everything at once. Most businesses pick the stage causing the most pain and start there. We will help you work out which one that is.
