Fractional CHRO and people advisory
Bigger people decisions, without making them alone. A senior HR lead thinks them through with you. Every decision stays yours.
No deck. No pitch.
Where you are now
When a decision feels too big to guess at.
“We’re adding managers, and I’m drawing the new org chart alone.”
What changes: Options laid out with a senior HR lead, the trade-offs in writing.
“A manager asked me something hard, and I wasn’t sure what to say.”
What changes: Someone who has handled it before, ready to think it through with you.
“Our policies were written back when we were only twenty people.”
What changes: Policies reviewed with you and rewritten for the team you are now.

In a client’s words
“People Street didn’t just run our people ops. They surfaced compliance gaps we hadn’t even considered and closed them before they became problems. They keep us a step ahead.”
Tegan JohnsonDirector of Operations, Mindstate Design LabsQuestions people ask before the call
How is this different from hiring a Head of People?
A full-time hire fits once the work is daily. Until then, you get senior judgment on the big decisions without the full-time salary.
We already have a Head of People. Is this for us?
Yes. They get a senior second opinion on the hard calls, and nothing leaves their remit.
Do you give legal advice?
No. We’re not a law firm. When a question needs counsel, we say so and help you frame it, so your time with a lawyer is well spent.
Can you be our fractional CHRO?
Yes. Fractional CHRO time comes with our Embedded plan and is set out in your order.
Leadership and manager training is available too. See manager training
Bring us the hard call. We’ll bring the senior view.
In a 20-minute call we talk through what’s on your desk. The scope and fee follow in writing.
