Some of our North Devon based clients
HR Consultancy in Devon
Fitzgerald’s head office is in Barnstaple, North Devon, where we’ve been supporting organisations with their people challenges for more than 10 years.
Our Devon-based People Business Partners and People Specialists work with organisations across North Devon, Exeter and the wider South West, providing everything from ongoing outsourced HR support to specialist expertise and one-off people projects.
Some of our clients don’t have an HR team of their own, so we become an extension of their business. Others have established People teams and bring us in when they need extra capacity, specialist expertise or an experienced pair of hands for a particular project.
Whatever brings you to us, you’ll get practical support from people who take the time to understand your organisation and what you’re trying to achieve.
HR support for businesses across Devon
Being based in Barnstaple means North Devon is very much home for us, but our team works with organisations throughout Devon and the wider South West.
We can work with you remotely, visit you on-site or arrange to meet at our Barnstaple office (or another of our South West locations). And when you need a particular area of expertise, your People Business Partner can draw on specialists from across the wider Fitzgerald team.
How we can help
Our People Business Partners and People Specialists can support you with:
Outsourced HR support
If you don’t have an HR team, we can provide ongoing retained HR support and become your People function. If you already have your own team, we can work alongside them, adding capacity or specialist skills when you need them.
Employee relations
From disciplinary and grievance matters to absence, performance, capability and more complex workplace issues, our Employee Relations specialists can advise you or take a more hands-on role in managing the process.
Leadership and management development
We design and deliver practical management and leadership development, learning programmes and executive coaching, helping managers and leaders become more confident and effective.
Organisational change and restructuring
We support organisations through restructuring, redundancy, organisational design and wider business change, from the initial thinking and planning through to consultation and implementation.
Recruitment and talent
We can help you define the people and skills your organisation needs, design roles, improve recruitment and selection, and develop approaches to talent and succession.
Pay and reward
From pay and benefits to recognition and performance frameworks, we can help you develop approaches that work for your organisation and your people.
Employment policies and employee handbooks
We draft and review employment contracts, employee handbooks, policies and procedures, and can help growing businesses put the right HR foundations in place.
People technology
Whether you’re choosing a new HR system, implementing one or trying to get more from the technology you already have, our People Technology specialists can help you make your systems and processes work better.
Local team, wider expertise
One of the advantages of working with Fitzgerald is that you’re not relying on one person to know everything.
You’ll have people who get to know your organisation, backed by specialists across Employee Relations, Learning and Development, Organisational Development, Talent, Reward and People Technology.
So whether you need some straightforward advice, extra capacity for your existing HR team or specialist support with something more complex, we can bring the right people together.
