Fractional Head of ER
Senior ER leadership, without the full-time overhead.
Not every organisation needs - or can afford - a permanent Head of Employee Relations. But every organisation deserves access to senior ER expertise when it matters.
The Challenge
You need strategic ER direction, not just advice.
Your organisation has grown to the point where ER issues need senior, strategic attention - but a full-time Head of ER is not the right investment.
You are dealing with complex, high-risk employee relations matters and need someone experienced enough to lead from the front.
Your HR team needs mentoring and direction on ER matters, but there is no senior ER specialist internally to guide them.
You are going through a period of change - restructuring, rapid growth, or cultural transformation - and need experienced ER leadership to steer through it.
Board-level or stakeholder reporting on ER matters is falling short because there is no strategic ER voice in the room.
