🎉 We have some incredible news to share...

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that EMHR Group has been shortlisted as a Finalist in the Personnel Today Awards 2026 for HR Consultancy of the Year.

The Personnel Today Awards celebrate excellence across the HR profession, recognising organisations that are making a real impact through outstanding people practices, innovation and exceptional client service. To be recognised alongside some of the UK's leading HR consultancies is an achievement we're immensely proud of.

When our Founder, Ella Halliday started this business just over three years ago, we could never have imagined we'd be here. What began as a leap of faith has grown into an incredible team, two specialist brands, amazing clients and now, recognition on one of the biggest stages in the HR profession.

Whether through SIX HR, supporting ambitious SMEs, or Childcare HR, helping early years and education providers create thriving workplaces, our mission has always been simple: to deliver bold, commercially focused HR that genuinely makes a difference.

We're incredibly proud to be finalists and can't wait to celebrate with everyone at the awards ceremony in November.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Here's to celebrating excellence in HR! 🏆

Meet Jennie Williams, one of our HR Advisors at SIX HR. 🙋‍♀️

Before landing in HR, Jennie worked at British Airways, in newspaper factory (where she got to use the tannoy 📢), and as a sales rep for Wilkinson Sword. Three very different jobs, and not a single one of them in HR.

Can you relate?

We think there's something in this. So many people in our industry will tell you they didn't plan to end up here. HR is one of those careers that people tend to find, rather than chase.

We want to know about your journey. What was your first job? Did you have multiple odd jobs over university summers?🌞

And if you work in HR, did you fall into it, or was it always the plan? 👇

We're over the moon after receiving such positive feedback in our recent client survey 🤩

One of the biggest highlights was our NPS score, where 100% of respondents fell into the Promoters category, recommending our HR consultancy to others, with an average score of 9.85. 🎉

Some other stats that stood out:
- 92% of clients rated consultant consistency 5/5, that is communicating with the same dedicated consultant every time
- 100% of clients gave 5/5 for consultant approachability
- 100% of clients said working with us gave them peace of mind 🪷

A huge thank you to all our clients for taking the time to share their thoughts. 💭 Feedback like this motivates us to improve where we can and keep doing what we do best 😁

Have we got news for you?

So, it turns out the Fair Work Agency is already visiting employers, which is way faster than most people expected (us included). We thought it would be a good few months until we heard any FWA movement.

We've been hearing from HR colleagues across the UK that businesses are receiving inspection notices, with some given only weeks' notice before a visit. One recruitment agency with just 4 staff has already been contacted.

What can they look at? Pretty much everything:
📋 Employment contracts, offer letters, employment status
💷 Payroll records, NMW/NLW compliance, holiday pay calculations
⏱️ Timesheets, hours worked vs paid, unpaid working time
✅ Right-to-work checks, pension records, health & safety

The good news, from those who've been through it, is that the Agency appears genuinely collaborative, with inspectors working with businesses to achieve compliance rather than trying to catch anyone out.

If you're an SME and haven't reviewed your employment documentation recently, now is the time. And that's exactly what having a dedicated HR consultant in your corner is for. 👋

Happy National Biscuit Day! 🍪

We're back with another British holiday of utmost importance, this time celebrating the humble baked good. 🇬🇧☕

Here's what our team has to say on the matter...

Where do you stand? Are you Team Custard Cream, Golden Crunch, Ginger Nut or an other? And perhaps most critically: do you have an optimal dip time?

Whatever your biscuit beliefs, we hope you find a moment today to brew a cuppa and enjoy a truly excellent dunk. 🫖✨

Happy International HR Day from our team to yours!

The photo below was taken on our team building day last year and as a small (but mighty!) HR consultancy... at points it would be pretty helpful if there were really six of us 👩💻

After all, HR consultants wear a lot of hats. We're note takers, policy rewriters, culture builders, investigators, peacekeepers, reluctant therapists and champions of fairness.

We handle grievances, conflicts, holiday entitlement calculations, and the "quick five-minute chat" that somehow becomes a two-hour investigation. We organise the odd birthday card, explain why "banter" is not a legally robust defence, and still find time to hold organisations together with equal parts legislation, caffeine and sheer willpower.

But there's something brilliant about being able to do it all. Knowing what drives people, whilst putting out fires in another corner.

People rarely remember the HR professional who processed their paperwork. But they always remember the one who made them feel heard during the hardest moment of their career.

Happy International HR Day, from our dream team at SIX HR 🎉
