What we do
Digital People HR helps high growing digital businesses get the people side right.
What got you to 30 people probably won’t get you to 100.
As businesses grow, things that used to happen naturally suddenly need a bit more thought. Who makes decisions? What should managers actually be responsible for?
Where are the capability gaps? What roles will you need next — and which ones might you not?
We help you take a proper look at where the business is going and work backwards from there.
That might mean organisation design, workforce planning, leadership capability, succession, culture or simply working out what your People priorities should be for the next 12 months.
No enormous strategy document that everyone politely ignores. Just a clear People plan that supports where you’re trying to go.
Your culture isn’t the values written on the website or office wall.
It’s what happens on someone’s first Monday. How their manager behaves when something goes wrong. Whether good work gets noticed. Whether people are treated the same.
We look across the whole employee journey and find the moments that could be better.
But work has changed.
For a lot of people, a good job isn't just about salary and promotion. Where they work. When they work, why they work matter.. Talented people increasingly judge a great employer by how well work fits into their life — not how much of their life they're prepared to give to work.
We call that Employee Lifestyle.
No beanbags. No forced fun. Just an amazing workplace culture where talented people can do great work.
Where great work is part of a great life. Not a replacement for one.
Probably less than you think. But the bits you do have need to work.
Growing businesses eventually reach the point where “we’ve always just dealt with things as they come up” stops being quite enough.
We’ll help you put the right foundations in place — contracts, policies, processes, manager guidance and practical support — without turning your business into somewhere people need a flowchart to book a day off.
Everything should be legally sound, easy to understand and appropriate for the size and culture of your business.
And when something difficult does happen, we’ll help you deal with the human being involved — not just point you towards paragraph 6.3 of a policy.
Enough process to keep you safe. Not enough to drive everyone mad.
Sometimes you need someone to help build your People strategy.
Sometimes you need an experienced sounding board before having a conversation you really don’t want to have.
And sometimes you just need someone who knows what they’re doing to come in, sort something out and leave everyone in a better place.
We can work alongside founders, leadership teams and existing People teams.
This can be on a retained, project or one-off basis.
We’re also very happy collaborating with recruiters, employment lawyers, coaches, L&D specialists, tech partners and other brilliant people when that gets you a better result.
We don't need to own everything.
Good People work is about getting the right minds around the table — including knowing when HR doesn’t need to be one of them.
You’ve launched the engagement survey. Introduced new benefits. Trained the managers. Redesigned onboarding.
Great.
Did any of it actually make a difference?
We can help you work out what’s worth measuring and, more importantly, what you should do with what you learn.
Retention. Engagement. Health Absence. Performance, Recruitment. Management capability. Productivity. Whatever matters to your business.
We’ll help you spot patterns, ask better questions and turn People data into decisions rather than another dashboard nobody looks at.
Because People teams should be able to show the difference they’re making.
Less HR activity. More actual impact.
