HR Consulting

HR Consulting Services for Growing Companies

Senior HR capability for organisations that need stronger people systems, statutory safety and better workforce decisions — without carrying a full-time HR leadership salary.

Consulting scope

HR strategy, systems and people processes

Most companies call us at one of two moments: when headcount has outgrown informal management, or when an audit, notice or a painful exit exposes something that was never documented. Both problems are solved the same way — write down how the company employs people, make it lawful, and make managers able to run it.

HR strategy & operating model

Org structure, role clarity, spans of control and a 12-month people roadmap tied to your business plan.

HR policy & employee handbook

Leave, attendance, remote work, code of conduct, probation, disciplinary process, notice and exit — written in plain language.

Performance management

Goal setting, KRA/KPI frameworks, appraisal cycles, calibration and manager coaching so ratings mean something.

Compensation & benefits

Salary banding, CTC structuring, incentive plans and benchmarking against comparable Pune employers.

Employee engagement & retention

Pulse surveys, exit-interview analysis, recognition frameworks and targeted retention plans.

Learning & manager capability

First-time-manager training, POSH awareness, and induction programmes that actually get completed.

Compliance

Labour-law compliance, documented and audit-ready

We work to Maharashtra state requirements and central labour legislation, and leave behind registers, filings and a compliance calendar your team can maintain.

  • EPF, ESIC and Professional Tax registration, returns and reconciliation
  • Shops & Establishments and Factories Act registers and displays
  • Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) compliance for vendor manpower
  • Gratuity, Bonus, Maternity Benefit and Leave rules alignment
  • POSH policy, Internal Committee setup, training and annual return
  • Employment contracts, appointment letters and personnel-file audits
  • HR audit with a prioritised risk register and remediation timeline

The transition from founder-led HR to a documented, delegated HR system — the point most compliance gaps surface.

Three ways to work with us

Project

A defined deliverable — handbook, compliance audit, appraisal framework — with a fixed fee and end date.

An ongoing HR desk: compliance calendar, escalations, documentation and quarterly reviews.

FAQ

HR consulting FAQs

What does an HR consultant do?
An HR consultant builds the systems a company needs to employ people safely and productively: policies, contracts, performance frameworks, compensation structures, statutory compliance and manager capability — then hands them over with the documentation to run them.
Why do SMEs need HR consulting?
Below roughly 200 employees most companies cannot justify a senior HR leader, yet they carry the same statutory obligations as a large enterprise. Consulting gives them that seniority in a scoped, part-time form — usually at a fraction of a full-time salary.
What is included in HR compliance?
Statutory registrations and returns across EPF, ESIC, Professional Tax, Shops & Establishments, Contract Labour, Gratuity, Bonus, Maternity Benefit and POSH, plus employment contracts, personnel records and an audit-ready documentation trail.
Do you provide POSH compliance support?
Yes — POSH policy drafting, Internal Committee constitution, employee and IC-member awareness sessions, and the annual return filing.
Can you set up HR policies for a startup?
We build a first HR handbook covering leave, attendance, remote work, code of conduct, probation, notice and exit — sized for a 10-to-50 person team rather than copied from an enterprise manual.
Do you offer fractional or virtual HR manager services?
Yes. A senior consultant works with you for an agreed number of days per month, handling escalations, hiring governance, performance cycles and compliance calendars as an embedded part of your leadership team.
How is HR consulting priced?
Project work is quoted as a fixed fee against a written scope; ongoing support runs as a monthly retainer based on headcount and the days required. Both are agreed before work starts.
