Sarah Harris

Hello!  I’m Sarah Harris and I’m an independent HR Consultant based just outside Stratford-upon-Avon.

I have over 20 years’ experience in HR at both operational and strategic level and am a Level 7 educated Chartered Member of the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development.

Prior to setting up Prosper HR, I held Head of HR and HR Manager roles in a number of SMEs in Warwickshire, primarily in the Manufacturing and Tech industries.  With lots of experience in setting up HR functions from scratch in owner-managed companies, I understand the issues growing companies face and how to set them up with an HR function that supports that growth and adds value to the business.

I set up Prosper HR as I wanted to channel my passion and expertise in HR to help businesses prosper through their people, no matter where they are in their HR journey. I very much believe in getting it right first time recruiting the right people to save a lot of headaches managing out the wrong people later on, then supporting companies with retaining their valuable people.

Typically in a small business when the business cannot yet justify a permanent HR Manager, HR falls to the MD or Office Manager.  The MD is too busy trying to run their business and the Office Manager may be limited in their HR expertise.  For HR to be more than just an admin function, that’s where I come in – offering the services of an HR Manager but without the permanent headcount.  I also offer a helping hand to busy HR Managers who are swamped with the day-to-day and don’t have time for the value added projects. 

Prosper HR services include:

  • HR strategic support – creating your People Plan and aligning your HR practices with your company culture and values; confidential sounding board for the MD
  • Internal recruitment support – structuring the interview process, devising competency and values based interview questions, attending interviews and psychometric testing; onboarding support
  • Performance management – devising performance management frameworks (appraisals); advising on performance issues; helping you develop your talent; developing a high performance leadership team through DISC and SDI profiling
  • Engagement and retention – engagement surveys, focus groups, stay interviews and action plans; pay structures; benefits review and implementation
  • HR system implementation – cost-effective HR system for managing employee data, holidays, sickness, document storage, performance monitoring, eNPS score, employee shoutouts, HR reporting and more
  • HR advice – Hands-on support through disciplinaries, grievances and redundancies; ad-hoc HR advice
  • HR policies and employment contracts

All of our services are available either as a monthly retainer with no contractual tie in or pay-as-you go.
