About Lighter HR

Lighter HR was set up in 2010 with purpose of providing expert HR services to small and medium sized businesses. 

It was clear to us that businesses of all sizes can face significant HR challenges.  The difference is that the large companies tend to have large HR departments to help them.  That’s not the same for small and medium sized businesses. 

There’s another challenge that small and medium sized business face.  They need the full spectrum of HR expertise but they don’t need it all of the time or even particularly regularly.  Sometimes they need an HR Administrator, sometimes an HR Manager and sometimes an HR Director. 

We wanted our HR consultancy services to be able to provide small and medium sized business with access to the HR expertise they need as and when they need it.

And that’s exactly what we do, and we absolutely love doing it!

At Lighter HR we have two key beliefs:

• HR really doesn’t have to be complicated
• HR adds business value when done properly

We really like this people stuff. Strange as it may sound, we enjoy the complexities of employment law and working out how to help businesses achieve their overall objectives through the best use of their people.

We enjoy making sure that HR processes and policies are both practical and protect our clients. We take pride in helping our clients to understand their actual risk in tricky situations rather than their perceived risk and these two things are often very different.

We know that we are very lucky to get to do something we love, for great clients and with a team of talented and experienced individuals.
