Diagnose
We map how HR work gets done with your team and find where the hours go.
Work design for HR teams in scaling companies
Give your HR team a day a week back.
We fix the work first. The processes, people data and systems you already own start paying off, and AI becomes safe to add.
For CHROs, HR Directors and Heads of People at companies of 200 to 1,000 people in the UK, US and Europe.
The work that fills the week
Chasing. Re-keying. Checking. Rebuilding reports.
We find the friction in your HR work and fix it with your team, using the systems you already have.
Work first
Processes designed to run well.
Time measured
Hours released and redirected.
HR teams we've worked with
Where your team's day goes
Your team's hours are going into work that can be fixed.
Your team is stretched and the work still gets done. Mostly by hand, in spreadsheets, held together by two or three people who know how everything works.
The lost hours usually sit in five places:
- Chasing managers for approvals and missing details
- Typing the same data into two or three systems
- Checking reports because nobody trusts the first version
- Rebuilding the same monthly report by hand
- Answering questions a manager or the system could answer
Each of these can be improved. Lean HR teams rarely have spare hours to do the redesign, so we bring the capacity and do it with them.

Indicative value of time released
A day a week back is worth £54,000 a year to your team.
Your estimate assumes a day back per person each week.
That's 2,070 hours each year, or 1.2 full-time roles' worth of time.
This is the value of time released, based on your numbers. It does not assume anyone leaves the team or that you need a new system.
