Fractional Employee Relations & People Risk Partner
Fractional ER & People Risk Partner
Senior Employee Relations and People Risk capability on an ongoing basis — without hiring a full-time Head of ER.
The challenge
Many growing organisations face real ER complexity but cannot yet justify a full-time Head of Employee Relations. The result is senior HR pulled into cases they are stretched to handle, or difficult matters managed without experienced oversight. A fractional partner gives you that senior capability exactly when you need it.

Frequently asked questions
A fractional ER partner provides ongoing senior Employee Relations and people-risk support — advising on live cases, overseeing investigations and escalations, and steadily building your ER frameworks and manager capability — without a full-time hire.
Usually when case volume and complexity, multi-location growth, or rising people risk mean reactive handling is no longer safe or consistent — a fractional partner is often the bridge before a full-time role is justified.
It is an ongoing relationship. Rather than a single project, you have continuous access to senior ER judgement and a partner who knows your organisation over time.
