Our Story

Since 2010, LighterHR has been helping small and medium-sized businesses thrive by making HR simple, practical, and human.

We know running a business isn’t just about compliance or policies—it’s about people. Whether you’re resolving a tricky employee issue, building performance frameworks, recruiting new talent, or outsourcing HR entirely, we’re here to bring clarity, calm, and confidence to every step.

What Makes Us Different

• We’re a sounding board, not just a service.
  • Our clients often call us about more than HR because they know they’ll get honest, practical advice they can trust.
• Plain speaking, no jargon.
  • We turn complex HR and employment law into simple, actionable guidance.
• Human judgment when it matters most.
  • AI can draft templates, policies and contracts—but only experience and empathy can guide you through the emotions of a complex people process.
• The full spectrum of HR support.
  • From everyday outsourced HR to high-stakes employee relations, we offer a complete service designed for SMEs.

Our Services

We provide a full range of HR consultancy support, including:

• Outsourced HR support – flexible, ongoing HR help without the cost of a full-time hire.
• Employee relations – guidance and support for disciplinary, grievance, redundancy and absence management.
• Recruitment support – from job descriptions to interviews, helping you find and keep the right people.
• Performance and appraisal frameworks – building systems that drive engagement and growth.
• Contracts, handbooks, and compliance – ensuring you’re legally sound and future-proofed.

Our Beliefs

• HR should be clear and commercial. Advice must protect your business while supporting your goals.
• Every SME deserves access to expert HR. We scale our support to your needs and budget.
• Human problems need human solutions. No template or AI can replace the empathy and experience of a real conversation.
