HR Monthly Support Retainer

Why Choose an HR Retainer?

Managing people effectively takes time, expertise, and consistency. Our HR retainer gives you ongoing access to trusted support whenever you need it, without the cost of an in-house HR team. It’s a flexible way to stay compliant, handle issues confidently, and put proactive people practices in place so your business and your employees can thrive.

Our HR Support Retainer Packages

Our HR Retainer packages are designed to give you the right level of support, whatever stage your business is at. The Essential and Foundation options cover the core compliance you can’t do without, such as employment contracts, policies, handbooks, and regular legal updates. As you move into the Enhanced package, you gain access to bespoke documentation, full case management, and an HR audit with a clear action plan. For organisations looking for strategic partnership, the Premium package provides ongoing meetings, a dedicated HR contact, and support with your people plan and compliance risk assessments — giving you complete peace of mind and proactive guidance for the future.

Choose the HR retainer package that gives you the right balance of compliance, support, and strategy for your business.

The Value of Ongoing HR Support

Our HR retainer is about more than just solving problems. It’s about building a strong foundation for your people strategy, reducing risk, and freeing up your time to focus on growing your business. With SYLO, you’ll have a partner who understands your organisation and can provide both day-to-day support and strategic guidance.

What our clients are saying

    Thanks to Jilli Broadhurst from SYLO | Beyond HR for visiting the Richardsons’ office last week for a CPD session with the team.

    She led the Richardsons team in a session that covered adapting their communications approach to have the best possible interactions with colleagues, peers and clients.

    The session also covered other key skills such as tactics for providing constructive feedback and effectively delegating.

    Here at Richardsons, we’re proud to be an experienced training firm – and an important part of that commitment is offering our team these kinds of opportunities to learn the skills they need to grow their careers and better support our clients.

    Thanks again to Jilli and SYLO HR!

    ​I found working with SYLO incredibly comfortable.  They helped me to define the real issues and then guided me through figuring out a solution. This resulted in a huge shift in the workload I was carrying to manageable levels, greater and welcomed empowerment for the talent in my team, and a manager (mine) who was fully up to speed on what was actually going on.

    We have been using Breathe over the last term to track our staff holidays. This is a great system as it highlights different cohorts of staff and when is free for others to book on the calendar. This has supported our ratio requirements and helped us to track holiday entitlements.

    We like the system so much that we have extended it to using the staffing schedules to log staff attendance and hours needed to be processed for payroll. Sharon has been so helpful in helping us set up different employees work patterns and it has been really effective for our nursery needs.

    SYLO Beyond HR delivered a series of seven Manager Skills sessions for our leadership team between October 2024 and early 2025, delivered through a blend of face‑to‑face and online workshops.
    The programme covered essential topics for our managers, including Being a Role Model, Communication Skills (Parts 1 & 2), Empowering Others, Basics of HR, Techniques for Handling Difficult Situations, and Giving and Receiving Feedback.
    The training was practical, engaging, and tailored to our organisation. Our managers particularly valued the real‑world examples, the safe space created for discussion, and the actionable tools they could use immediately in their roles.
    We have already seen a positive impact in how our managers communicate, set expectations, and handle challenging situations with greater confidence.
    SYLO’s facilitators were knowledgeable, supportive, and highly engaging throughout the programme. We would happily recommend SYLO Beyond HR to any organisation looking to strengthen their management capability.
