Cherington HR

Cherington HR was founded in 2006 by Helen Astill. It delivers tailored HR support to help businesses tackle strategic, tactical and operational people management issues. Services include:

•Provision of HR advice by email, telephone or face-to-face to meet clients’ requirements.

•Development of tailored employment policies and documents.

•Provision of online HR software through a partnership with Breathe.

•Management of more complex issues e.g. disciplinary/ grievance cases.

•Training/ coaching on people management issues to help grow managers’ abilities to deal with the issues themselves.

•Use of psychometric testing to help with recruitment, development and team-building.

Customers range from micro-businesses taking on their very first employee, to large multi-nationals who may not have an HR provision in the UK. Some are large organisations who have an operational HR team but may need to use an external independent HR consultant (e.g. because of sensitivities involved.)
