Case study: Heneghan Architecture – Personal, professional support, without hefty fees and complex retainers

Heneghan Architecture are typical Pod members – as a small business with only a couple of employees, husband and wife owners Sara and Dan have to wear multiple hats. Recognising that they want to create a positive workplace and be compliant, they knew they needed an HR solution that meant they could access ad-hoc expert advice without breaking the bank. They wanted reassurance and straightforward, friendly guidance when they were unsure how to handle people issues.

We love being able to provide just the right amount of hands on support, and leave them to get on with running the show when everything is going smoothly. Practice Manager Sara, had this to say:

"As a small business owner, finding the right HR support was tricky, with most services geared toward larger companies with hefty consultancy fees and complex retainers. That's why working with Yvette and joining the Pod Membership has been such a refreshing and valuable experience.

The monthly Pod Membership package is perfect for a business like ours. It gives us reliable access to expert HR advice whenever we need it, without the overwhelming commitment of a full-scale consultancy. It's affordable, flexible, and tailored to the real needs of our small team.

One of the standout aspects of Yvette's service was the comprehensive HR audit she carried out for us. Carefully reviewing our employee handbook and staff contracts, ensuring everything was up-to-date and fully aligned with current legislation. The process was thorough but straightforward, an Yvette explained everything in clear, practical terms.

Yvette combines professionalism with a personal touch, making her support feel like an extension of our own team. For any small business looking for dependable, knowledgeable HR guidance, I can't recommend her highly enough."
