"We worked with Glass HR on several occasions, seeking advice and guidance when dealing with sometimes difficult and sensitive situations involving employees and clients. Emma has always been extremely helpful, approachable and forthcoming, providing clear advice and a range of options tailored to the circumstances. We have always felt confident in following her advice and have consistently experienced positive outcomes."

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Emma for a considerable amount of time, during which she has become a valued part of our business. Emma is knowledgeable, approachable with extensive experience, always taking the time to understand our business and provide practical, honest advice. Whether it’s a simple HR question or a more complex situation, like a HR ISO audit, we know we can rely on Emma's guidance. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Glass Human Resources to any business looking for a trusted HR consultant."

"In the fast-paced world of tech and telecoms disruption, traditional ‘corporate HR’ simply doesn't cut it. We needed an expert HR consultant who could match our velocity, personality and feel. That’s exactly what we have found in Glass Human Resources and Emma, we don’t want HR, we want a Chief of Karma Police! Emma understands that we aren't a traditional 9-to-5 business, and she never tries to force us into a ‘one-size-fits-all’ box. She delivers sharp, practical, and highly strategic advice that is tailored to our specific growth stage."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need an HR consultant for my small business?: You don’t need a large HR department to benefit from good HR support. As your business grows, having someone experienced to turn to can help you manage people confidently, avoid costly mistakes and deal with issues before they become bigger problems.
What can an HR consultant do for a small business?: From everyday advice and employee issues to contracts, policies, performance and people strategy, an HR consultant can provide support wherever you need it. Explore our HR Support & Consultancy →
Can I use an HR consultant without committing to a monthly contract?: Yes. You may only need help with a particular situation, project or HR review, rather than ongoing support. We offer a flexible approach that can adapt as your business and your needs change.
How do I know if my HR processes in good shape?: If you’re not sure whether your contracts, policies or people processes are where they should be, an HR review can give you a clearer picture. We can identify any gaps or potential risks and recommend practical improvements. Find out about HR Compliance, Strategy & Audits.
Do you work with businesses that already have some HR support?: Yes. You don’t have to start from scratch. We can work alongside an existing HR resource, business owner or management team, providing additional expertise where it’s needed — whether that’s a particular employee issue, a people project or leadership and management development.
Do you only work with businesses in Winchester and Hampshire?: No. While Glass HR is based in Winchester and supports businesses across Hampshire, we also work with clients further afield, including in London. Much of our support can be provided remotely, so you can access practical, personal HR advice wherever your business is based.
