Running a business comes with plenty of challenges and managing people is often one of the biggest.

At The HR Dept Carlisle & Morecambe, we provide outsourced HR services that give you the confidence to handle employment matters the right way, without the cost of an in-house HR department.

We partner with businesses with up to 100 employees from Carlisle to Morecambe and the surrounding areas, offering support that’s practical, affordable and tailored to your needs. By combining local knowledge with professional HR expertise, we help employers protect their business, support their employees and plan for the future.

What We Do

• Compliance – Employment law can change quickly and it’s easy to fall behind. We help you stay compliant with your key foundations such as contracts, policies, handbooks and procedures that protect your business.
• Operational HR – From recruitment and onboarding to sickness absence, disciplinaries and grievances, we support you with the day-to-day people challenges that come with running a business.
• Strategic HR – Beyond the day-to-day, we work with you to develop long-term people strategies that align with your business goals. This could include workforce planning, employee engagement surveys, HR Mentoring, performance management, Coaching, succession planning or preparing your business for growth.

 Why businesses choose us

Every business is different, which is why our services are designed to be flexible. Some clients outsource all of their HR to us, while others call when a specific situation arises. Whatever the arrangement, our goal is simple: to help you manage people fairly, confidently and compliantly, so you can get back to focusing on running and growing your business.
