Refreshingly different HR
Managing people doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It’s about having the right employee in the right place at the right time. This is integral to building a successful business and at PES, we know how it’s done.
Whether you’re a small organisation with no in-house HR team, or a larger business that needs help from time to time with complex issues, we’ll slot right in. You can count on us for practical HR support. We offer flexible solutions tailored to fit your requirements and your budget.


Pragmatic people solutions
Good HR is about creating a positive employee experience. When it comes to the nuts and bolts of finding, managing and engaging people, we can assist with employment contracts, HR policies and handbooks, dealing with sickness and absence, disciplinary issues, employment tribunals, redundancies, TUPE transfers and much more.
At a more strategic level, we can help with performance management, succession planning, change management, coaching and/or reward – whatever it takes to build a winning workforce.
