The foundation of successful business is effective relations. 8th House, are an HR consultancy aspiring to help make your business thrive through empowering you to manage your people. We provide tailor-made solutions for your HR needs.
People make business. Investing in the right people and managing them in the right way is critical to the future success of our enterprises. At 8th House HR, we believe that integrity, honest communication and hard-work foster successful relations and business growth. We work closely with our clients to understand their challenges and goals, and develop solutions that are tailored to their unique needs, taking away some of the stress that inevitably comes with managing people. HR outsourcing allows us to support you but dramatically reduces the cost to you of hiring someone inhouse.
Dealing with people in the workplace can be both the most rewarding and the most stressful part of any job. Nowhere is this more true than in our SMEs. Our previous work in HR consultancy, coupled with more than 20 years experience managing staff in different organisations, is the grounding from which 8th House has organically grown.
8th House understands that all businesses are different. This means size, location, strategy, growth and finances are a few of the things that need to be considered when thinking through your people needs.
We offer a free initial consultation to discuss these needs and work with you to put forward a plan that suits your business.
By taking a regular HR Outsourcing package, we build a relationship with you and your business and you receive all our HR expertise for an affordable monthly payment.
8th House HR can build a partnership with you. We help to save you time, improve business operations, and deliver advice, support and guidance.
We recognise the need to ensure your business runs as smoothly and as effectively as possible. We can help review and suggest a HR system tailored to your business.
We can also review policies and handbooks to ensure they are fit for purpose or help build your own set of policies and an employee handbook that's right for your business.
After discussing your working practices with you, we can create or update these and work closely with you throughout the process. This can often be quite thought provoking for a Business owner!
We can often agree the fees for these in advance so that you are clear on the cost from the outset.
8th House can help advise and support through the tricky situations, the difficult conversations, the trying times and partner you to get things back on track.
We can help with redundancy processes, conduct investigations and manage appeals.
These services tend to be on an adhoc basis and can be time consuming so, we often anticipate the time and agree an hourly or daily rate here.
If we say we are going to deliver something we will do it. We also won’t promise things that we can’t deliver. If we aren’t confident about our expertise in an area, we will help you find a better solution. We know that integrity is the cornerstone of all successful relationships - starting with ourselves - and that successful relationships are the cornerstone of business!
We approach all situations professionally. We are accustomed to having difficult conversations with people whereby there is often a lot at stake in the outcome of these discussions. We make sure that we handle these interactions with professionalism, ensuring ethically and legally correct action is taken.
We understand that employee issues are a pressing cause for concern and that their successful resolution can help get business back on track. We will endeavour to help you effectively and efficiently in this process.
We work with you to understand the complexities of employee issues in order to arrive at the correct outcome. We listen, we appraise and we recommend.
