Book an HR Health Check

Start with a health check. Decide from there.

No long contract up front. We look at where your business stands first, then agree what level of support makes sense.

How it starts

Step 1

HR health check

A 5-minute online questionnaire, then a structured diagnostic of your contracts, policies, records and people practices. You get a written report showing what's compliant, what's exposed and what to fix first.

About 2 days
Step 2

Your HR plan

We walk you through the findings and agree priorities. Some clients fix the gaps as a once-off project. Most choose ongoing support.

One meeting
Step 3

Your HR person

A named ICS HR executive works with your business on a fixed number of hours or days each month, on site and on call.

Month to month

Hire or retain?

Senior HR capability, without the headcount.

Most small and medium-sized businesses don't need a full-time HR manager, or a bigger HR department. They need the experience of one, for the hours the business actually uses.

Full-time HR hire ICS on retainer
Monthly cost R25,000 to R45,000+ salary, plus benefits A fixed monthly fee, scoped to your days
Experience Whoever you can afford to hire 20 to 30 years per HR executive
When they're away HR stops A colleague who knows your file steps in
Specialist cover Bought in separately Labour law, IR and recruitment in the team
Commitment Permanent employment Month to month, scale up or down

Suggested starting point

One to two days a week

Enough time to run performance reviews, keep contracts current and handle issues as they come up.

  • A regular on-site day
  • Performance reviews and probation management
  • Discipline and grievances handled with you
  • Job descriptions as roles are added

A guide only. The HR health check sets the real scope. One of our longest-standing clients grew from 12 to 25 people with us two days a week.

Questions

What owners usually ask first.

How is this different from an HR software subscription?

Software stores records and generates templates. It can't run a disciplinary hearing, coach a new manager or tell you whether a dismissal will hold. You get a person who does those things, and who uses whatever systems you already have.

Do you work on site or remotely?

Both. Most clients have a regular on-site day and reach their HR executive by phone, email or WhatsApp in between.

What happens if we have a CCMA case?

Your HR executive prepares the case with you, from documentation to witness preparation, and our employee relations specialists can represent you where the rules allow.

Are we locked into a long contract?

No. Retainers run month to month. Start with the health check, and continue only if the support is earning its keep.

Can you still help us recruit?

Yes. Recruitment is part of the same service, so the person who wrote the job description is the one finding the candidates.
