We’re more than advisors. We roll up our sleeves and help you get it done.
Understand the situation
We start by listening. You’ll speak directly with an employee relations specialist who will review the details of your case, identify key risks, and outline your options.
Develop a clear plan
Together, we’ll create a structured plan, which may be led internally with our support or as an independent investigation led by us. All elements of the plan will be aligned with employment law and your internal policies. You’ll always know what to do next and why.
Deliver the right outcome
We’ll guide you through every step, from documentation and communication to chairing meetings if required. Everything is reviewed through our internal quality process to ensure accuracy and compliance with relevant standards.
Peer-reviewed for quality: Every case is checked by a senior Hunter Adams HR Manager to guarantee robust outcomes and consistent standards.
We’ve worked with clients across more than 30 sectors in the UK.

Let’s have a chat about what’s going on and how we can help.
HR consulting is professional support that helps businesses manage, develop and optimise their people. At Hunter Adams, our HR consultants work as an extension of your team, offering strategic advice, practical help, and hands-on delivery to solve people challenges quickly and effectively.
We cover everything from recruitment and restructuring to culture, engagement, and employee relations. Think of us as your on-demand HR team, without the overhead.
Employee relations refers to the way employers and employees interact, and how workplace issues, such as grievances, performance, or behaviour, are managed.
Strong employee relations mean fair processes, open communication, and trusted relationships. Our employee relations specialists help you manage conflicts, handle investigations, and maintain compliance while protecting team morale and business performance.
Employee engagement refers to the level of connection and motivation your people feel at work. Engaged employees are more productive, stay longer, and create better results for your business.
Low engagement, on the other hand, leads to higher turnover, lower morale, and lost productivity. Research indicates that disengaged teams can cost UK businesses billions of pounds each year.
Our HR consultants can help you measure, understand, and improve engagement through culture audits, leadership development, and people strategy support.
An employee relations specialist supports employers with complex or sensitive people issues. This can include running disciplinary or grievance processes, supporting or conducting investigations, resolving conflicts, or providing impartial advice.
At Hunter Adams, our employee relations specialists don’t tell you what to do, they work with you to help you understand the complexities of the issues and identify any risks and mitigations to consider to ensure your business remains compliant, fair and confident in its decisions.
Ideally, before a small issue becomes a big one. Many businesses come to us when a problem has already escalated, but early advice can mitigate risk, stress and cost later on.
If you’re unsure what you need, our team can help you work it out, whether it’s a quick call for reassurance or a longer-term HR consulting partnership.
