Real World HR Support From Someone Who Gets It

I started PeopleWise Solutions because I was frustrated by the way small businesses were being left behind. Traditional HR can feel too corporate, too rigid or just not relevant to the messy, fast-paced reality of small business life.

Most of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure and under pressure. I get it because I've been there with them. My job is to lift that weight, bring calm to the chaos and help them lead with clarity, confidence and control.

What makes PeopleWise different from other HR consultants?

We cut through the jargon to deliver practical, human HR support that helps small businesses grow with confidence. We don’t just advise from the sidelines - we work alongside you as a trusted partner, simplifying HR, building capability and offering clear, proactive solutions that fit your business, not a corporate template.

How quickly can you help with an urgent HR issue?

Very quickly. Our HRNow service is designed for just that – fast, expert support when you need it most. Whether it’s a tricky performance issue, redundancy, or conflict at work, we provide clear, straight-talking advice, often the same day. You don’t need to face it alone.

Do you offer ongoing support or just one-off consultations?

Both. If you need help with a one-off issue, we’re here. But if you’d prefer ongoing support, we offer flexible packages like HRFlex that grow with your business. You choose what fits - no long-term tie-ins, just practical support when and how you need it.

Do you offer HR training or coaching for managers?

Yes. An important part of our work is equipping line managers and leaders to handle HR challenges with confidence. Whether it’s training on handling tricky conversations, managing performance or building stronger teams, we provide practical tools and coaching to help you or your managers develop their skills, so HR doesn’t always have to fall on your desk.

Can you support us with hiring and onboarding the right people?

Yes. we help our clients refine their hiring process - from writing clear, engaging job descriptions to designing practical, people-focused selection steps that save time and reduce hiring risks. We also create onboarding plans that set new employees up for success from day one, helping them feel connected and productive faster.

How do you help improve team culture and employee engagement?

We would work closely with you to understand what drives (or hinders) engagement in your team. From running HR health checks to shaping recognition, feedback and communication practices, we design simple, practical steps that strengthen culture and build trust. A positive, engaged team isn’t just happier - it performs better and sticks around longer.

Can you help us build long-term HR strategies, not just fix immediate problems?

Absolutely. While we’re here to resolve urgent HR challenges quickly and effectively, our real focus is helping SMEs build people strategies that drive growth. From designing scalable HR frameworks and performance management systems to developing leadership capability, we create solutions that fit your business and your culture.  Definitely not off-the-shelf templates.
