Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions we hear every now and again:

What makes you different to the other hundreds of HR Consultancies?

What sets Summit HR consultancy apart is our straight-talking, solution-focused approach. We don’t dwell on why something can’t be done, we focus on how we can make it happen. While larger firms may offer remote telephone advice, we provide hands-on, in-person support when needed, ensuring you have a trusted partner by your side in meetings and key discussions. Our priority is delivering practical, tailored HR solutions that work for your business, not just ticking boxes!

What are the benefits of using the services of a HR Consultant?

Employment law can be complex and open to interpretation. If you get it wrong, it could lead to an employment tribunal and costly payouts. On top of that, being a good employer really pays off; after all, happier employees tend to be more productive. Hiring an experienced HR professional in-house can be expensive, but a consultant can offer the same expertise at a fraction of the cost. We will take the time to understand your business and help you achieve your goals, delivering valuable outcomes without the high price tag.

I already have a handbook, what if I only need Contracts or other documents?

We can tailor our services to suit your needs, whether that's providing just a Contract of Employment or something more. If you have existing documentation, we're happy to review it and share our thoughts. Our priority is ensuring you only get what you truly need.

How do you get to know my business?

We want to spend time getting to know who you are, what the culture is that you are trying to create, and what you want to achieve. We don't believe there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to business and culture. We want to partner with businesses and help them on their journey at multiple stages. When we truly understand you and your business, it better enables us to give the best advice.

What's with the mountain theme?

It's simple really; Summit HR's Founder, Mark, is very much an outdoor enthusiast and loves hiking up mountains just as much as HR (possibly more if we're being honest).
