Why hire a fractional HR director?
What can a fractional HR expert do for your startup?
A fractional CHRO or CPO will provide the people management skills and guidance to make a genuine impact across your business. They enable scaling startups to build the right culture, hire and retain top talent, put scalable people processes in place and ensure the organisation is set up to grow.
What are the benefits of hiring a fractional CHRO or CPO?
They will bring the knowledge and leadership skills required to improve every aspect of your startup’s people strategy. Discover the executive-level HR expertise that will improve staff collaboration, retention and satisfaction levels without the financial commitment of a full-time hire.
When should you consider hiring a fractional CHRO or CPO?
Usually, businesses bring in a fractional CHRO or CPO when they’re scaling and require strategic support with key HR processes. Such as compliance, hiring, internal structure and cultural initiatives. They can offer specialist leadership to help you retain top talent without the commitment of hiring a full-time executive.
We make sure every member you work with is ready to deliver impact from day one. All members have either completed our CPD-accredited training programme or have held multiple fractional, advisory, or non-executive roles.
Are your hiring practices inefficient and disjointed? A fractional CHRO will help you develop scalable hiring processes and provide top-class candidate experiences.
Performance management
Is performance management often an afterthought? Let your fractional CHRO develop company-wide initiatives to track, manage, and reward employee performance consistently.
HR compliance and risk
HR compliance obligations causing you stress? Your fractional CHRO will ensure you remain on the right side of HR compliance while reducing risks when it comes to people management.
Talent retention
Struggling to maintain your top talent? The best fractional CHROs will develop initiatives and strategies that improve employee development, boost productivity and improve employee satisfaction.
Company culture
Want to improve your company culture but not sure how? A fractional CHRO will provide tailored guidance that improves communication, builds rapport and ensures everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Developing leadership
Want to empower your senior executives to lead with confidence? Your fractional CHRO will offer the consultancy, advice and support required to build effective leadership pathways that translate to long-term success.
Should we use an outsourced HR service or hire a fractional expert??
An outsourced HR service can handle the essentials like payroll, contracts, and compliance. Whereas a fractional CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer) or CPO (Chief People Office) is an experienced and strategic leader who can develop your culture, team structure and talent framework. They are a part-time employee who share the ambition and drive of your founding team.
If you need to scale your organisation effectively rather than just manage administration, the fractional model provides the high-level expertise required to take your business forward.
What’s the difference between interim and fractional HR support?
An interim CHRO or CPO will work full-time with startups or businesses on a short-term basis to bridge the gap until full-time hires are in place.
Whereas a fractional expert operates on a part-time contract, often for an indefinite or extended period, to provide deep-dive strategic support and leadership on key HR projects or initiatives.
