The Sounding Board 
Fractional HR director support, shaped around you 
 
The Sounding Board gives you access to senior HR thinking without the cost or commitment of a full-time HR Director.  
It is available to businesses who have already passed, as a minimum, the Fair Employer Standard in our Growth HR Model®. 
It’s designed for business owners and senior leaders who want space to think, pressure-test decisions, and make confident people choices, with experienced support alongside them. 
This is not a fixed programme. 
You lead the agenda. We support what matters most to your business, when you need it. 
 
What The Sounding Board Covers 
The Sounding Board flexes around your priorities, including: 
 
People strategy and planning 
Organisation design, restructures and change 
Workforce and succession planning 
Leadership capability and management development 
Learning and development direction 
Hiring plans and senior recruitment decisions 
Culture, engagement and retention 
Navigating complex or sensitive people issues 
A trusted space to think things through before acting 
 
Sometimes you need a clear plan. 
Sometimes you just need to talk it through with someone experienced who understands business pressure. This gives you both. 
 
How it works
