Your questions answered
When would it help to borrow a People and Culture Guru?
This service suits organisations that need experienced, hands-on People and Culture support for a particular issue, a project or several competing priorities. Support can be short term or longer term, depending on the need.
What could a Guru help our managers work through?
Our team can help with performance management, role development and evaluation, recruitment, industrial relations, payroll, training and organisational development. Depending on the brief, support can also include hiring plans, recruitment tools, onboarding and scribing.
Can we bring someone in for one project?
Yes. Borrow a Guru can focus on a single problem or project, as well as a broader collection of challenges. It gives your organisation access to specialist experience without having to scope an entire HR function.
Can we choose remote or on-site support?
You can choose remote or on-site support, or a combination of both, with no geographical restrictions. On-site arrangements are subject to specialist availability.
How quickly can support start, and is there a minimum booking?
Support can generally commence within 24 hours. Remote support can start the same day in most cases, and there is no minimum booking period.
Do we need a complete handover before engaging a Guru?
We can work with a full set of manuals, policies and other documents, or with limited documentation and no formal handover. The approach is adapted to the information available and the support your organisation needs.
How is the cost of Borrow a Guru determined?
The cost reflects the support required, the level and specialist skills involved, the time needed, and the scope and complexity of the work. This may range from general HR administration to a defined project.
