Strategic HR Expertise When You Need It

For growing businesses, having expert HR leadership is crucial—but not every organisation needs or can justify a full-time HR Director.
That’s where outsourced HR support from Big Sky People comes in.
We provide seasoned HR leadership on a flexible basis, giving you the expertise of a senior HR professional without the full-time cost. Whether you need one day per week, eight days per month, or something project related, we offer tailored, high-impact support that aligns with your business needs.
If you’re struggling with a misaligned leadership team or you need to re-think how you recruit skilled employees that positively contribute to your culture, we can help.
Kath Connell has over 25 years’ experience in HR, with 15 years at a strategic level, (supported by being a Fellow of the CIPD and the Institute of Leadership) so is perfectly equipped to support your strategic people needs in a commercially aware, solution driven way. No fluff and no fuss. Just tailored services in line with your people needs.
