People Foundations - HR documentation for growing businesses
Get the Paperwork Right. Once. Properly.
Professionally drafted contracts, a tailored employee handbook, and an annual review to keep everything up to date. The HR foundations every growing business needs - built to fit yours.
Maybe you've just taken on your first employee and you want to make sure you've done it properly. Maybe you've had a team for a while and you're quietly aware that the contracts you found online probably aren't good enough.
Either way, you've reached the point where getting the basics right isn't optional anymore. One claim, one dispute, one employee who knows their rights better than you do - and suddenly that gap in your documents becomes a very expensive problem.
People Foundations gives you the HR documents your business actually needs, drafted by people who know employment law. Not a template. Not a generic download. Contracts and policies that reflect how your business works - reviewed every year so they stay compliant as the law changes.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Built for your business. Not copied from a template.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
Professionally drafted contracts written to reflect your business, your roles and how you actually operate. No one size fits all document with your logo stuck on.
HANDBOOK & POLICIES
The policies your business needs to run properly and stay compliant. Written in plain English your team will actually read - not legalese they will ignore.
ANNUAL DOCUMENT REVIEW
Employment law changes. Your business changes. Every year, we review your contracts and handbook and update anything that needs it. You don't have to remember to ask.
ACCESS THE TOOLKIT
Access the How to HR Toolkit and training platform. Step by step guides, policy templates and practical training so you and your managers can handle day to day HR with confidence.
DOCUMENTS AREN'T A ONE OFF JOB
You could pay someone to write your contracts and handbook once. Plenty of people do. And they sit in a folder, quietly becoming less compliant every time the law changes - which it does, often.
People Foundations works differently. The monthly fee covers the initial build and the ongoing relationship. We get to know your business properly. When the Employment Rights Act changes, or a new statutory rate comes in, or you want to add a role that needs a different contract - we're already there. You don't have to start from scratch every time.
Good HR documentation isn't something you do once.
It's something you maintain. We do that bit so you don't have to.
IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?
PEOPLE FOUNDATIONS IS FOR YOU IF...
✅You've recently taken on your first employee and want to make sure you've done it properly.
✅You have documents but you haven't looked at them in years and know they need updating.
✅You want proper, tailored contracts and policies, no something generic you found online.
✅You're confident managing your team day to day but want the legal foundations to be solid.
PEOPLE FOUNDATIONS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU IF...
⚠️You need ongoing HR Advice as well as documentation. People Growth gives you both.
⚠️You're already dealing with an active people issue and need help now. PAYG support or a retainer with advice hours would serve you better.
⚠️You want fully outsourced HR - someone in your corner for everything, let's talk.
People Foundations vs People Support: the same price, different jobs. Foundations builds and maintains your documentation. Support gives you access to HR advice when you need it. If you're not sure which you need, book a call - we'll help you figure it out.
