Offer SME's within Stevenage, Welwyn Garden city, Buntingford the opportunity to have an HR department that offers the same services that would be available in a bigger company at a fraction of the cost.

In plain English, we help SMEs to get the best from their teams and businesses whilst Preventing People Problems.

The HR Dept Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City understands the importance of how effective Human Resources can make a valuable difference financially, legally and operationally in the business environment. We understand that many companies do not have the luxury of employing a full time HR professional but at some point all business owners will come across ‘people problems’. We work with small and medium sized businesses ranging from specialist pharmaceutical companies, electricians to health shops with a diverse team of management and staff.

We are able to provide our clients with a comprehensive HR service at a fraction of the cost of an in-house department.

Matthew Pinto-Chilcott, Director of The HR Dept Stevenage & Welwyn Garden City says: “My experience has been within the public and private sectors, ranging from small family owned businesses to large international organisations. I have covered all aspects of the employment life-cycle from recruitment and selection, disciplinaries and grievances, performance management, training and development to being able to help problem solve and assist management in difficult times.

I am commercially, operationally and HR aware having managed and worked in a wide range of fast footfall/turnover businesses with large teams of management and employees for UK & international companies. My career commenced at the coal face of industry but later moved into implementing HR & Development for a wide range of businesses having known what it was like to work at the forefront of business.”

We like to offer our clients and other SMEs the HR support required to be successful whilst putting in place the right solutions to prevent people problems.

The HR Dept Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City are able to offer SMEs the benefit of having a HR Department that can offer everything you would expect from an in house team.

Whether it is managing a disciplinary, handling sickness absence, writing tailored contracts of employment for your staff or a redundancy issue, we’d love to help.

For a small monthly fee, you can have access to our advice line service, where you will receive unlimited support through telephone and email. What’s more, provided you follow our advice from the onset of any issue, you will be covered by our tribunal indemnity insurance, giving you total peace of mind.
