2 Helping to meet your HR needs The pressures on HR teams within organisations have never been greater. In order to help your organisation meet the challenges of an ever-changing healthcare landscape, your HR function needs to be flexible and responsive.

3 A quality provider of HR consultancy services Jenny Harding, Sussex Community NHS Trust Often these demands will emerge as one, or a number of, one-off projects or support needs: a major investigation; a structural review; reviews of policies and procedures; reviews of pay and terms and conditions of service; design and delivery of training; provision of dedicated HR expertise for a short period. The financial pressures to reduce the cost of support functions such as HR will mean it is often more cost effective to package these projects as consultancy exercises; that way you can procure the skills you want when you want them at a fixed price.
