Pearl Collective gives leaders and HR teams the confidence, clarity and expertise to navigate complex employee situations with fairness and commercial judgement.
-
“Sometimes you don’t need someone to take over – you just need an experienced sounding board.”
For founders, SMEs and HR teams who want an experienced thinking partner – available ad hoc, or as a dedicated 90-minute session to work through:
• Live ER cases
• Strategy
• Investigation plans
• Hearing preparation
• Settlement options
• Risks
• Practical next steps
-
“I manage the full process end-to-end, on behalf of the company.”
For when you need more than advice – you need someone to own the process from start to finish, for a fixed fee and a clear timeline. Covers:
• Investigations
• Disciplinary matters (misconduct and gross misconduct)
• Grievances
• Capability (ill health)
• Absence management
• Discrimination, harassment and bullying complaints
• Whistleblowing
• Performance management processes
• Redundancy, restructuring and organisational change (including TUPE)
• Flexible working request disputes
• Family leave-related disputes
• Mediation
• Settlement negotiation
-
A. ER Coaching (for HR professionals)
“I know the process, but I want to build my confidence and judgement.”
Aimed at:
• Newly promoted HR Advisors
• HR Business Partners stepping into complex ER
• Standalone HR Managers
• HR Consultants who would benefit from partnering a senior ER practitioner
B. Leader Coaching (for people managers)
“I need to manage a difficult employee but I’m terrified of getting it wrong.”
This isn’t about teaching employment law – it’s about supporting managers to:
• Prepare for difficult conversations
• Deliver feedback confidently
• Handle grievances appropriately
• Run performance meetings
• Ask better questions
• Avoid common mistakes
-
“We don’t need a full-time HR/ER hire yet – but we need someone we can rely on.”
An ongoing, embedded partnership for companies without in-house ER expertise – a senior point of contact on retainer, covering:
• Day-to-day ER queries and support
• Policy and process guidance
• Oversight of live cases
• Regular check-ins with leadership and HR
