Fractional HR Consultant — A dedicated HR partner for growing businesses
As your business grows, managing people becomes more complex. You need experienced HR leadership to support your managers, strengthen your culture, and ensure you’re meeting your employment obligations — but employing a full-time HR Manager isn’t always the right solution. A fractional HR consultant can give you that support without the full-time cost.
Our Fractional HR service gives you access to an experienced HR professional who becomes part of your leadership team, providing strategic and operational HR support for a fraction of the cost of a permanent hire.
At Positive People, we work alongside business owners, CEOs, and managers, delivering practical HR solutions that help your organisation attract, retain and develop great people while reducing employment risk.
A dedicated fractional HR consultant who knows your business
Unlike ad-hoc HR advice, your dedicated Fractional HR Consultant works closely with your team, taking the time to understand your business, your people and your goals. By building trusted relationships across your organisation, we become an extension of your leadership team, providing consistent advice and hands-on support whenever it’s needed.
You’ll have one dedicated consultant as your primary contact, backed by our wider team of experienced HR specialists. This means you receive personalised support while also having access to expertise across employment relations, workplace investigations, leadership development, organisational change and recruitment.
Strategic and operational HR support
Our Fractional HR service covers every stage of the employee lifecycle and can be tailored to meet your business priorities.
We can support you with:
- HR strategy aligned to your business goals
- Employment agreements, policies and HR documentation
- Employment relations and workplace issues
- Performance management and development
- Leadership coaching and manager capability
- Recruitment, onboarding and workforce planning
- Organisational change and restructuring
- Employee engagement, wellbeing and workplace culture
- Compliance with New Zealand employment legislation
Whether you require one day a fortnight, one day a week, or more regular support, we’ll tailor a solution that fits your business and budget.
HR support that grows with your organisation
One of the biggest advantages of Fractional HR is flexibility. As your organisation changes, we can increase or reduce our level of involvement, ensuring you always have the right level of HR expertise without paying for resources you don’t need.
This approach provides the confidence of having an experienced HR leader available while remaining a highly cost-effective alternative to employing a full-time HR Manager.
Helping your people and your business succeed
Strong businesses are built on great people. Our role is to help you create a workplace where employees perform at their best, leaders feel supported, and people challenges are managed before they become costly issues.
With over 30 years of supporting New Zealand organisations, Positive People provides practical, commercially focused HR advice that enables businesses to grow with confidence.
