    How Kent HR can support small businesses

    We provide tailored HR packages to ensure that all your essential HR requirements are met.

    We can seamlessly integrate with your business in a range of ways that may suit you. We can become an extension to your business – whether that’s through supporting your own employees to manage HR responsibilities or to be your HR people.

    Daily management of staff can prove time consuming and our HR advisors are available to help you deal with matters such as handing staff lateness, the legal considerations of long-term or regular sick leave, managing annual leave, employee disputes or any other staff issues.

    Employment law support

    Kent HR is integrated with the South East’s largest employment law team at award winning law firm Brachers. This means that legal advice is available when needed for those difficult situations, giving you peace of mind knowing that your business is in the hands of specialists.

    Flexible HR support packages

    Kent HR provides a range of options available to suit your business requirements and objectives, whether you need support with a one-off HR project or whether you would like the peace of mind of having an HR expert available as and when you require.

    Coleman Parkes Research Ltd

  • We have been using Kent HR services for almost a year and have found them to be extremely professional. Previously we were using another company who unfortunately were unable to provide accurate legal advice and in a less timely manner. GASE will continue to use Kent HR for all HR related matters.

    GASE Engineering Ltd

  • A no nonsense professional service, which was instrumental in helping to resolve a difficult HR case to the satisfaction of all parties, at reasonable cost to the employer. A follow on review of our HR processes resulted in the complete re-writing our internal staff handbook, to clarify and update the HR process to comply with all recent legislation.

    Satisfied Client

  • Kent HR provide an outstanding service; their whole team proved to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive and compassionate. 

    They acted as genuine partners rather than simply a service provider and their help and guidance with HR structures and processes will continue to shape and inform our company policy long into the future.
