Specialist HR Expertise for Every Stage of Your People Challenges

Our freelance HR consultants offer support across every area of people management and compliance, from disciplinary and grievance handling to HR transformation and DEI strategy.

Strategy

Operational

Business Transformation

Broken processes, outdated tools, and fragmented workflows slow everything down. Our HR transformation specialists have redesigned HR functions inside scaling SMEs and large organisations. They assess your current state, recommend improvements, streamline processes, and embed better ways of working. You get experience-led transformation, not theoretical “best practice”, from vetted consultants who’ve delivered change in real businesses.

Disciplinary & Grievance Handling

When a grievance or disciplinary issue escalates, it drains time, derails teams, and exposes your business to risk. A Link Into HR consultant brings senior-level ER expertise to guide investigations, handle difficult conversations, and ensure every step is legally sound. You get impartiality, professionalism, and calm judgement from someone who has handled high-stakes cases inside UK organisations. All consultants are vetted, insured, and ready to step in when things can’t wait.

Culture Change Programmes

Culture drifts when teams grow, leaders change, or behaviours aren’t aligned. Our organisational development consultants design and deliver culture programmes that shift habits, reset expectations, strengthen leadership, and improve engagement. This is not surface-level “values work” it’s outcome-driven cultural change, delivered by senior practitioners with years of experience managing people transformation inside UK businesses.

HR Policies & Compliance

Outdated or inconsistent policies create liability, confusion, and operational drag. A Link Into HR specialist reviews, refreshes, or builds policies tailored to your organisation, from contracts and handbooks to disciplinary, performance, and hybrid-working frameworks. You’ll stay fully aligned with UK employment law while gaining policies people actually understand and use. All experts on the platform are vetted senior professionals with proven compliance backgrounds.

Performance Management

If your performance process feels inconsistent, subjective, or painful to run, you’re not alone. A senior consultant from Link Into HR helps you design a clearer process, train managers, handle underperformance, and introduce frameworks that actually improve output. No generic templates just practical, commercially-minded performance support from consultants who’ve led teams and driven results at Head-of-HR and Director level.

Regulatory Compliance

Whether you’re operating in a regulated sector or scaling into new markets, compliance mistakes are costly. Link Into HR connects you with consultants who specialise in UK employment law, industry-specific requirements, and risk mitigation. They audit your current position, close compliance gaps, and embed practices that keep your business safe. Every consultant is vetted and insured, giving you confidence in high-stakes areas.

Building an HR Function from scratch

Growing businesses often hit a tipping point where ad-hoc HR is no longer enough. A Link Into HR consultant sets up the essential building blocks: policies, processes, onboarding, contracts, people metrics, manager guidance, and basic compliance. You avoid expensive missteps and get the structure of an in-house HR function without hiring full-time. All experts are highly experienced and ready to guide you from zero to stable, compliant, and scalable

DEI Policies and Procedures

DEI work is sensitive, strategic, and often mishandled internally. A DEI specialist from Link Into HR builds policies, conducts audits, delivers inclusive training, and helps leaders embed equitable processes across hiring, progression, and culture. You’ll get guidance that is practical, evidence-based, and aligned to UK legislation, not performative statements. Every consultant is vetted and has deep DEI expertise

Digital Transformation

Manual HR processes slow teams down and leave room for error. Our digital transformation consultants help you choose, implement, and optimise HR systems, from HRIS platforms to onboarding tools, LMS software, and automation. They focus on adoption, efficiency and user-experience, ensuring your investment actually pays off. All consultants bring practical experience leading digital HR change in UK organisations.

Employee Relations

Employee issues rarely stay small. Tension spreads, grievances multiply, and managers feel out of their depth. A Link Into HR Employee Relations specialist brings decisive, senior-level support to investigate concerns, manage conflict, and guide fair outcomes that stand up to scrutiny. They also help you prevent repeat issues by improving manager capability, tightening processes, and embedding clearer expectations. Every consultant is vetted, insured, and experienced in complex ER cases across UK organisations so you get confidence, clarity, and control when the stakes are high.
