A few highlights from our founder’s day out at the HR Consultancy Festival at the Birmingham Hilton ✨

A brilliant day full of learning, inspiration, new ideas, and great conversations with fellow HR consultants and business professionals. From AI and the future of work to visibility, profitability, and communication — there was so much to take away and put into practice.

Some standout insights from the day 👇
💡 AI is changing how roles evolve — not replacing people
💡 Mental health was reportedly one of the most searched topics on Microsoft Copilot in 2025
💡 Sharing client success stories and case studies matters
💡 Strong communication and visibility can make a huge difference
💡 Podcasts and content platforms are great ways to build connection and trust

One of the best parts of the day was meeting new people, reconnecting with familiar faces, and finally meeting some online connections in person 😊

Thank you @ for organising such a valuable event!

Mental Health Awareness Week (11–17 May) is a good reminder to check in on how you’re supporting your team.

We often see businesses do something for the week — but aren’t always sure what comes next.

The biggest impact usually comes from:
✔ Managers who feel confident having conversations
✔ Simple, practical support in place
✔ A culture where people feel comfortable speaking up

It doesn’t have to be complex — just consistent.

If you’d like support building a practical approach to wellbeing, we’re here to help.

Managers play a crucial role in team performance, engagement, and workplace culture.

In many small businesses, managers are often owners, directors, or employees who have stepped into management for the first time, without HR support or formal training.

Based on the businesses we support, helping managers succeed can include:
✔ Coaching and mentoring
✔ Developing delegation and decision-making skills
✔ Preventing burnout through better support

When managers feel confident and supported, the whole team benefits.

You don’t need in-house HR to give your managers the right support.

Let’s support your managers with the right tools.

Performance reviews shouldn’t feel like a tick-box exercise.

When done well, they help employees grow, improve engagement, and keep teams aligned with business goals.

It’s that time of the year when many businesses think about the annual salary increases and many link it to performance review processes.

A few simple practices can make reviews more effective:
✔ Set clear objectives
✔ Use constructive, two-way feedback
✔ Follow up and track progress

A structured approach turns reviews into meaningful conversations rather than formalities.

It’s that time of the year when many businesses think about the annual salary increases and many link it to performance review processes.

We can help you structure performance reviews that actually work.

Workplace culture doesn’t have to come from big programmes or large budgets.

Often, it’s the small, consistent actions that make the biggest impact.

A few simple ideas to start with:
✔ Recognise and celebrate your team’s achievements
✔ Create regular opportunities for team check-ins
✔ Introduce small initiatives that encourage connection

These small steps can help employees feel valued, supported, and engaged.

If you're looking for practical ways to strengthen your workplace culture, we’d be happy to share ideas.

6 years of Speak to HR 💛

It’s hard to believe Speak to HR is officially 6 years old.

I started Speak to HR during COVID to support small businesses that didn’t have internal HR — businesses where owners, directors, and new managers were trying to manage people alongside running everything else, during a really uncertain time.

Many employers were navigating furlough, restructures, changing guidance, and difficult conversations without any HR support. Speak to HR was created to provide practical, jargon-free advice to help businesses make confident decisions and support their teams.

Since then, Speak to HR has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of. We’ve supported so many businesses with their people challenges, growth plans, and day-to-day HR — and built some amazing long-term relationships along the way.

A huge thank you to all of our past and current clients for trusting Speak to HR to support your people and your business. It genuinely means the world.

A special thank you as well to the amazing support networks and partners we’ve worked alongside — including Breathe, hireful, and many others — who have played such an important role in this journey.

And of course, to the incredible network of people who have supported, referred, collaborated, and championed Speak to HR along the way — you know who you are 🤍

Six years later, the focus is still the same — supporting small businesses, giving managers confidence, and making HR feel simple and approachable.

Growing businesses need to plan ahead.

Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, the maximum protective award for failing to meet collective redundancy consultation obligations doubles, from 90 to 180 days’ pay.

Even if your team is still growing, it’s important to:
✔ Audit your current consultation practices
✔ Review thresholds and triggers for compliance
✔ Provide refresher training for staff

Proper preparation protects both your business and your people.
