in the following areas and can provide you with practical HR advice and support when you need it.
We can help with;
Disciplinary process / problem people / difficult conversations / personal grievances / mediation.

We can help with;
Change process / restructures / rewards & recognition / salary review and bench-marking.

Sometimes recruitment can seem like a daunting and enduring process and hiring the wrong person can be a costly mistake. Let us take that hassle away from you.

We can help with;
Employment agreements / policies & procedures / Health and Safety / payroll queries.
Keeping your business compliant with current legislation is a must. We are continually keeping abreast of legislative changes and case law surprises, so you don’t have to be a subject matter expert.

High-level strategy development / strategic & HR plans / capability analysis / workforce planning.
For businesses to survive in today’s world, they need strategies to adapt and grow. We can help develop longer term directions and provide insight into strategic positioning and capabilities.
Where it all began…
Not every organisation is big enough to have their own HR department, but most organisations need some guidance to ensure they are managing their business effectively and within legal boundaries.
This is why SVS Consulting was created.
We pride ourselves in the solutions we develop for the organisations we support.
We take the time to understand your needs and align these with pragmatic, personal and no-nonsense solutions. SVS Consulting is your trusted HR Business Partner and can be used as a ‘switch on – switch off’ service, when you need it.
Our services and solutions range from recruitment to developing bespoke performance development processes or reviewing of business structure and job design through to fully outsourced HR services.
