Who are Bedrock HR?

We are an outsourced HR Team who mould our services to our clients needs. We are here to give you all the advice you need to begin your journey as an employer support your growing business. We have worked with many start-ups and scale-ups across various sectors including film, an online lifestyle magazine, a short term letting agency, on line game developer, fashion wholesale, shared office space providers, a bike taxi provider and independant financial advisors.

Common HR challenges facing startups, small and medium enterprises include: formalising employment arrangements, out of standard hours working, establishing project or short-term working arrangements, limited people management experience, measuring performance, travel and expense tracking and building brand identity as an employer.

This is what we do. Listen. Tailor our provision. And then act swiftly.

We are always on the end of the phone and able to meet with you by video call or in person to firstly understand your requirements and secondly talk through any challenges you are facing and find solutions. No question or concern is too small or insignificant.

We provide the resources and specialist advice at a fraction of the cost of an in house department. We can provide a more personal approach than  the national HR providers because we provide a “we are part of the team” approach

Why do I need HR support?

Policies and procedures. Certainty. Supporting growth.

Many SMEs are focused on growth and starting out and owner managers do not always have the expertise or time to tackle people management, record keeping or personality challenges. Often it is only when issues arise that the need for a professional helping hand of support is realised. HR support is essential to ensuring your business continues to develop and grow to fulfill your vision.

We underpin all your policies and procedures. We save you time and give you certainty.

How does it work?

First we speak to you and find out all about your business. What are your aims and goals and where might you be facing issues.

We then work out a package that is affordable for you and meets all your needs, even if these change over time.
