There are times when your business needs more than external HR advice… but doesn’t need, or isn’t ready for, another full-time HR role.

This is where Fractional HR comes in.

Fractional HR is our way of offering you ongoing, tailored support when you need it most to supercharge productivity and reduce stress. Whether that’s delivering on planned projects, providing senior guidance or upskilling HR professionals so they can reach their next level, we’re ready to get onboard and stuck in.

Explore what Fractional HR can do for your business

What is Fractional HR?

Fractional HR gives your business access to an experienced HR professional through an agreed partnership.

We work closely with your leaders and team, developing a strong understanding of your business, your people, and your priorities. Our Fractional HR service provides dedicated HR expertise to support your people priorities and move important projects forward.

The arrangement is tailored to what your business requires. It may involve supporting your team through an HR transition, providing senior guidance to an existing HR team member in your business or helping your team deliver its HR plans and wishlist.

We agree on the type and level of support your business needs, with clear expectations around how we work together.

Additional HR capacity where you need it the most

We get it: there aren’t enough hours in the day or hands on deck to get everything on your list done. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Our Fractional HR support is scalable and tailored to what is happening across your business. Through an ongoing partnership, your HR Partner can provide practical advice, support your leaders and help progress projects, systems and strategic priorities that might otherwise remain on the wishlist.

Outsourced HR or Fractional HR?

Both models give you access to Now Actually’s HR Partners and their expertise. The difference is mainly in how we support your business.

Outsourced HR is a flexible external HR solution. It may involve advice, a defined project, assistance with a particular matter or reactive HR advice that you need immediate help with.

Fractional HR provides ongoing access to experienced HR expertise through an agreed monthly partnership. Your Fractional HR Partner works closely with your leaders and team, developing an understanding of your business and providing support in line with your priorities and agreed scope.

The right model depends on the type of support you need, how regularly you need it and the HR capability already within your business.

Got any questions about Now Actually’s Fractional HR service?

We definitely can! In fact, we welcome the opportunity to work with existing HR professionals in your business.

Our goal is to coach, guide and educate, providing additional expertise and support where needed. If you have a team member who’s learning the HR ropes, we can work alongside them to build their knowledge and confidence in managing HR matters internally.

Yes! If your business is experiencing a temporary gap in its internal HR team, or does not have one at all, we can step in and provide support while you recruit or transition to a new team member.


We can also help with the handover, coaching and guiding your new team member as they settle into their role.

Both services give your business access to experienced HR professionals, but the main difference is how we work with you.

Outsourced HR is a flexible solution for specific employee matters, HR projects or advice when you need it. Fractional HR is a more ongoing partnership, where we work alongside your business through an agreed monthly arrangement, providing regular HR guidance and support.

The easiest way is to book a Discovery Call with us.

We’ll take the time to understand your business, your existing HR capabilities and the challenges you’re facing. From there, we can explore what kind of support would be the best fit for your needs.
