HR consulting services Ireland
End-to-end HR consulting for Irish SMEs
Your business is growing, but your HR hasn't kept up. Brennan Work Solutions gives you practical support for policies, people decisions, performance, and day-to-day employment matters.
Clear advice. Sound process. Better decisions.
01 / Foundations
HR policy development
Your policies should tell people what to do when a real issue arises. We write clear HR policies and procedures that reflect Irish employment legislation and the practical demands of your workplace.
- Employee handbooks aligned with current Irish requirements.
- Contracts of employment, data protection policies, and dignity at work statements.
- Industry-specific guidance for manufacturing shifts, retail trading hours, and remote teams.
- Scheduled reviews when legislation or your working practices change.
02 / Fair process
Employee relations and disciplinary support
Difficult conversations need a fair process and careful records. We help managers handle investigations, grievances, disciplinary meetings, and workplace conflict with confidence.
- Guidance for fair investigations and grievance hearings.
- Manager coaching or representation during disciplinary meetings.
- Mediation that gives colleagues a structured route through conflict.
- Well-organised documentation designed to meet Workplace Relations Commission standards.
03 / Better conversations
Performance management frameworks
Good performance management gives people a clear target and a fair chance to improve. We build systems around the roles you actually have, with manager training to make each conversation useful.
- Define role expectations and competencies.
- Set KPIs that connect to business goals.
- Review progress and record agreed actions.
- Turn feedback into a development plan.
