How to start
Three rungs in, and you choose at each one
Most HR consulting asks you to commit before you know whether it's worth it. This is built the other way round: the first rung is free, the second one costs nothing if you go ahead, and the third is a fixed fee you agreed before anyone started work.
Free HR Health Check
Free
No fee, no commitment, nothing to sign
A high-level review of your HR structure, processes and risks. We look at how the function is set up today and tell you plainly where the gaps and the exposure are.
What you get
- A working session with your leadership or HR lead
- High-level review of HR structure, process and risk
- A written summary of where you stand and what to fix first
- A fixed-fee proposal only if you want one
Paid audit, fee credited
Credited
Deducted in full if you proceed to the project
The health check is high-level by design. When you need the detail — process by process, file by file — you pay for the audit, and that fee comes off the consulting project fee if you go ahead.
What you get
- A full detailed audit rather than a high-level review
- Findings evidenced, rated and prioritised
- The audit fee deducted in full from the project fee
- Yours to keep and act on even if you don't proceed
Fixed-fee project
Fixed
Scope and fee agreed before any work starts
Pick the package that matches the problem. The scope is written down, the fee is fixed against it, and both are agreed before we start — no hourly billing and no engagement that quietly keeps running.
What you get
- Six delivery packages, each separately scoped
- One fixed fee, agreed up front, per package
- Deliverables named in the scope, not described afterwards
- QHRM People Management free for life on the Foundation Package
Consulting package with free software
The HR Foundation Package
Our most-requested engagement, and the reason most clients stop comparing. You pay the consulting project fee — and the software you'd otherwise licence every year for the rest of the company's life is yours, free, for as many employees as you ever have.
The consulting work
- HR process audit across the full employee lifecycle
- Organisation structure review and redesign
- HR framework — roles, authority and accountability
- Basic rules and regulations, written for your company
- Standard HR forms, ready to use from day one
And the software, free
QHRM People Management the module itself, fully featured — not a trial tier
Unlimited users every employee you have now and every one you hire
Lifetime free no licence fee, no renewal, no expiry date
The one condition
The client pays the consulting project fee. That's it — no licence cost, no per-user cost, no renewal, and no clause that takes it back if you stop consulting with us.
The packages
Eight ways to work with us
Each one is scoped, fixed-fee and finite. Find the sentence below that sounds like your company, and start there — or start with the free health check and let us tell you which one you actually need.
Free HR Health Check
Anyone deciding whether to start
A high-level review of how your HR function is set up and where it is exposed. The detailed audit and the implementation are the paid work — this is not.
- Review of HR structure and reporting lines
- Walkthrough of the processes you run today
- The risks that would surface first in an inspection
- A written summary and a recommended starting point
Commercial model
Free. Detailed audit and implementation are paid.
Paid Audit, Fee Credited Back
Companies who want the detail before committing
You pay for the detailed audit up front. If you then go ahead with the consulting project, the audit fee is deducted from the project fee — so proceeding costs you nothing extra for the diagnosis.
- Detailed audit rather than a high-level review
- Findings evidenced against your own documents
- Each gap rated so you fix the expensive ones first
- The fee deducted in full if you proceed
Commercial model
Audit fee deducted from the consulting project fee if you proceed.
HR Process Audit Package
You know something's wrong, but not where
We audit the HR processes you run today and identify the gaps — what's missing, what's duplicated, and what's being done by hand that shouldn't be.
- End-to-end review: hiring, onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll, exit
- A gap register covering every process reviewed
- Each gap rated by risk and by cost of leaving it
- A prioritised action plan with owners and sequence
Commercial model
Fixed project fee.
HR Framework Package
Decisions stall because nobody knows who decides
We design the organisation structure and the HR framework underneath it, so every role has a defined scope, every decision has an owner, and authority stops being something people work out case by case.
- Organisation structure and reporting lines mapped and redrawn
- Job families, grades and role definitions
- An authority matrix — who approves what, up to what limit
- An accountability model so every outcome has one owner
Commercial model
Fixed project fee.
Policy and Regulation Package
Your handbook is years out of date, or doesn't exist
A complete written rulebook: the employee handbook, the HR policies behind it, and the company rules and regulations — drafted for your company rather than adapted from a template that fits nobody.
- Employee handbook written in your company's voice
- Core policies: leave, attendance, overtime, discipline, grievance, conduct
- Rules and regulations aligned to local labour law
- Acknowledgement forms and a rollout plan so it's actually read
Commercial model
Fixed fee based on company size.
HR Digital Transformation Package
You're running HR on spreadsheets and chat messages
The full path from paper to platform: audit what you do, redesign it as workflows, write the SOPs, then implement the system so the software and the rulebook say the same thing.
- Process audit of everything HR touches today
- Redesigned workflows — approvals, escalations, notifications
- Written SOPs for each process, matched to the system
- System implementation, rollout and training for your team
Commercial model
Consulting fee plus optional paid modules.
HR Department Setup Package
You've grown past the point where somebody does HR part-time
We set up the entire HR function from nothing: the operating model, the documents, the processes, the systems and the first team to run them — and we stay until it runs without us.
- HR operating model, structure and headcount plan
- The complete policy and document set, written from scratch
- Recruitment, onboarding, payroll and performance processes stood up
- Your first HR team hired and coached, with systems live before we leave
Commercial model
Three- or six-month project.
HR Compliance Review
An inspection or an audit would find things
A standing review of the things a labour inspection looks at first — contracts, files, leave, hours and overtime — run on a schedule so exposure is found by us rather than by an inspector.
- Employment contracts checked clause by clause
- Employee files tested for completeness
- Leave balances, working hours and overtime reconciled
- A findings report with the exposure quantified and a remediation list
Commercial model
Annual or semiannual audit.

How an engagement runs
Free health check
A working session and a high-level review, at no cost. You leave it knowing where your HR function stands and which gap is the expensive one.
Findings and fixed proposal
We write up what we found and propose the package that fits, with the scope and the fee both fixed. If a deeper audit is needed first, its fee is credited back against the project.
Delivery, with your team
We build the framework, the policies, the SOPs or the system alongside your people rather than around them — so it survives after we've gone.
Handover and review
Your team is trained on what we built and owns it. Compliance clients then move onto an annual or semiannual review cycle.
Does any of this sound familiar?
If you recognise three or more, the free health check will tell you which of them is actually the expensive one.
You're growing faster than your HR function
The processes that worked at thirty people are breaking at a hundred, and nobody has had time to redesign them.
- HR is somebody's second job, and it shows
- Every leave request, approval and correction runs through chat messages
- Two departments do onboarding two different ways
- You're hiring steadily but nothing is written down
- Payroll takes days and still produces queries
You're established, but exposed
The function exists and runs — but nobody has looked at what would happen if it were audited, inspected or challenged.
- Contracts were drafted years ago and never revisited
- Employee files are incomplete and nobody is sure how incomplete
- Leave balances and overtime don't reconcile against the records
- The handbook is out of date, or was never issued
- Authority is unclear, so decisions escalate that shouldn't
HR consulting questions
Is the HR Health Check really free?
Yes. It's a high-level review of your HR structure, processes and risks, and there is no fee and nothing to sign. The detailed audit and any implementation work are the paid part. We offer it free because most companies can't tell how much HR work they need until somebody has looked.
How does the credited audit fee work?
You pay for the detailed audit up front. If you then go ahead with the consulting project, that audit fee is deducted in full from the project fee — so the diagnosis effectively costs nothing once you proceed. If you don't proceed, the audit and its findings are still yours to keep and act on.
What do the packages cost?
Each one is a fixed fee agreed before any work starts, quoted once we understand the scope. The Policy and Regulation Package is priced by company size; the HR Department Setup Package runs as a three- or six-month project; the Compliance Review runs annually or semiannually. We don't bill by the hour.
Do I really get the software free for life?
On the HR Foundation Package, yes. The one condition is that you pay the consulting project fee. You then keep the QHRM People Management module for unlimited users with no licence fee, no renewal and no expiry — including for employees you hire years later.
Which module is included free, and is it a limited version?
QHRM People Management, fully featured — not a trial tier or a cut-down edition. Other modules remain available as paid add-ons if you want them, which is why the Digital Transformation Package is priced as a consulting fee plus optional paid modules.
Do I have to use QHRM software to work with you?
No. Seven of the eight packages are pure consulting and make no assumption about what you run. Only the Digital Transformation and Foundation packages involve our platform, and that's because implementing a system is the deliverable in one and the free inclusion in the other.
How long does an engagement take?
The health check is a session and a short write-up. Audits and the framework, policy and process packages are typically a matter of weeks depending on size. The HR Department Setup Package is explicitly a three- or six-month project, and compliance reviews recur annually or semiannually.
Can you work with the HR team we already have?
That's the intention. We build alongside your people rather than around them and hand the work over trained, because a framework nobody internally owns stops being followed the month after the consultants leave.
Which countries do you work in?
We work across Southeast Asia and India, and the labour-law-sensitive packages — policies, rules and regulations, and the compliance review — are written against local law rather than a generic template. Tell us where you operate when you book the health check.
What happens after the free health check — is there pressure to buy?
No. You get the summary and, if you want one, a fixed-fee proposal. The whole reason the first rung is free and the second is credited back is that we'd rather you decided with the findings in front of you than on a call.
The cheapest way to find out is free.
One health check, no fee, no commitment. You'll leave it knowing where your HR function stands and what it would cost to fix — whether or not you do it with us.
