HR Consultancy in Cheshire & North Wales
HR • Occupational Health • Health & Safety
At The Hive Collaborative, we provide HR consultancy in Cheshire & North Wales supported by integrated
Occupational Health and Health & Safety expertise. We help employers reduce absence, manage people risk, and make confident,
defensible decisions that stand up commercially and legally.
Why Traditional HR Falls Short
Most workplace problems don’t start as “HR issues”. They start as unmanaged health concerns, inconsistent management decisions,
unclear documentation, or safety risks that surface too late.
Common triggers we see:
- rising sickness absence and capability concerns
- grievances and disciplinaries escalating unnecessarily
- managers lacking confidence for difficult conversations
- outdated policies and inconsistent paperwork
- health and safety risk addressed after incidents (not before)
When HR, Occupational Health and Health & Safety operate in silos, risk grows. We exist to remove that fragmentation.
One Integrated Approach to Workforce Risk and Performance
Decisions You Can Stand Behind
We help employers make fair, proportionate decisions — and document them properly. That reduces disputes, protects leaders,
and keeps the business moving.
- structured employee relations support
- pragmatic compliance and documentation
- manager coaching and consistency
HR + Occupational Health + Health & Safety
We don’t bolt services together. We coordinate them. Where appropriate, HR decisions are strengthened by Occupational Health input and
Health & Safety insight — especially around absence, capability, adjustments and workplace risk.
