CHRO-ON-CALL™
Not every organisation needs a full-time CHRO. But there are moments when having experienced HR judgement at the table matters.
CHRO-on-Call™ gives business owners, leaders and HR teams access to senior HR advisory support without the commitment of a full-time executive appointment.
Senior HR perspective, when you need it.
WHEN WOULD YOU CALL?
Sometimes you don't need another hire.
You need another perspective.
CHRO-on-Call™ doesn't replace your HR team. It gives them, and the leaders they support, access to another level of HR experience when the situation calls for it.
CHRO-on-Call™ is designed for the moments when a people question, decision or situation needs experience beyond the resources currently available in the organisation.
“I have an HR team, but they need senior guidance.”
Your HR team can manage the work, but occasionally needs an experienced sounding board for a difficult decision, unfamiliar situation or higher-level conversation.
“We’ve grown faster than our HR practices.”
What worked when the organisation was smaller may no longer be enough. You need help deciding what should be strengthened first without building everything at once.
“I’m about to make a people decision and want another perspective.”
Before changing a structure, introducing a policy, responding to a workforce issue or making a significant people investment, you want someone to challenge the thinking.
“This employee issue has become more complicated than expected.”
What appeared straightforward now involves competing considerations, organisational risk or consequences that need to be thought through carefully.
“My HR person is being asked to operate above their current experience.”
They don't necessarily need someone to take over. They may need access to senior guidance while building their own judgement and confidence.
“We need senior HR input, but not a full-time CHRO.”
The organisation needs experienced HR perspective at certain points, without creating another permanent executive position.
WHAT CAN WE WORK THROUGH?
Bring the people question that needs thinking through.
CHRO-on-Call™ can support a wide range of people and organisational matters, from an immediate situation that needs a second perspective to a broader question about how your organisation should move forward.
People decisions
When the decision carries consequences.
HR strategy & priorities
When everything feels important.
Organisation & workforce
When the organisation has changed, but the structure hasn't.
Performance, talent & capability
When the process exists, but the outcome isn't quite working.
Rewards & people practices
When the answer looks like money, policy or process.
HR leadership & sounding board
When HR needs HR too.
Think through significant employee decisions, workforce changes and sensitive people matters before determining the way forward.
Clarify what HR should focus on, what can wait and where limited resources can make the greatest difference.
Examine roles, responsibilities, reporting relationships and workforce needs as the business grows or changes.
Think through how performance, capability and talent practices are supporting, or getting in the way of, what the organisation needs.
Examine the issue behind a proposed reward, policy or HR intervention before deciding what should change.
Give HR leaders and practitioners access to a confidential senior sounding board for unfamiliar situations, difficult conversations and decisions they would otherwise have to navigate alone.
