Flex — your questions answered

What are the support hours included?

Flex includes 12 hours of HR support each year, which accrues at 1 hour per month — use them for phone advice, help with HR admin, or working through an employee issue. You can borrow future hours when you need them, and unused hours roll over for up to 6 months.

What if I use my 12 hours and need more support?

For most stable hands-on businesses with up to 10 employees, 12 hours of expert HR support per year is sufficient to help you manage your people proactively and deal with the occasional issue that arises. However, we know that unexpected situations can happen. If you need additional support, you can simply purchase extra hours at a discounted member rate. If you find you're regularly needing more than your included support, we'll have an honest conversation about whether our sister company, Holistic HR Services, would be a better fit. They specialise in supporting growing businesses with more complex HR needs, so you can continue to receive the right level of support as your business evolves.

What if I change my mind and want to upgrade to Build?

No problem at all. Simply get in touch and we'll have an open, honest conversation about what's best for your business. If Build is the right fit, we'll upgrade your membership on a pro-rata basis, so you only pay for the remaining term of your existing contract. The process is straightforward, with no unnecessary admin or hidden surprises — just the flexibility to ensure your membership continues to meet your needs as your business grows.

Does Flex include HR software and documents?

No — Flex is expert advice and your dedicated consultant only. If you'd also like Breathe HR software, employment contracts, policies and compliance training, take a look at Build.

Is HR advice included in every membership?

Yes. Every membership — Flex, Build and Thrive — includes expert HR advice from a dedicated CIPD-qualified consultant. Flex keeps it to advice and support; Build and Thrive add software, documents and benefits on top.
