HR in small business often feels like a juggling act between compliance, contracts, and conversations, leaving little time to lead your team with confidence. Many owners wonder if ongoing HR support is worth it or whether they should continue doing it alone. In this episode of The HR Link: People-First Conversations, Amy opens the doors to The HR Link and shows you exactly how it works, and why it is helping small business owners across Australia breathe easier.

 

Amy takes you behind the scenes of The HR Link, Grounded HR’s signature service that is redefining HR support for small businesses. She explains what makes it different from generic templates and expensive consultancies, who it is for, and how it provides unlimited, real-time guidance tailored to your team. This episode is an honest look at what people-first HR support looks like in practice: flexible, accessible, and designed to help you grow with confidence.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why The HR Link was created and how it fills the gap in traditional HR services

Transcript

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to today's episode. If you've been wondering whether the HR link is actually worth it, then today's episode is for you. We wanna pull back the curtain. We want to open the doors. We want you to see the inside of what the HR link looks like.

 

[00:01:00] What if you finally felt confident hiring and knowing exactly what to look for and how you welcome those people into your team with clarity and ease? What if you had the go-to expert in your corner, someone who knows your business, who gives you real advice and does not give you generic templates and AI chatbots? What if you no longer lost hours? Doom. Scrolling on fair work. Second, guessing whether your contracts and policies were up to date.


What if you knew how to handle tough conversations with calm confidence? That only comes from having the right support and tools in place. What if you could stop reacting to problems and start leading proactively building a team culture that you are really proud of? What if you felt empowered as a leader, not just in your zone of genius, but in growing and supporting the people in your business who make your business possible?


[00:02:00] What if you could finally exhale, and know that you're doing it right without needing to be a HR expert yourself? All of those things, that is what the HR link delivers. It's HR Reimagined. It's HR delivered in a different way, and I want you to have that support. I wanna acknowledge that there's always hesitations, cost, fit, timing, all of those things contribute to whether a service is the right thing for you right now, and that is why we created the flexibility that's available inside the HR link.


To make it worthwhile, to make it accessible and to make it fit small businesses in Australia. So who is the HR link for? It's for small teams, values led owners who are in a growth stage.

 

[00:03:00] Usually our clients inside there have somewhere between five and 30 employees. They aren't quite ready to outsource their HR yet. They're not at that stage, but they need that support. They need that confidant that they can ask questions to. They need someone who understands their business, and that could be you. So what's included in the HR link in practice? Well, it's personalised. Like really personalized. I get to know your business.


We wanna take them time to get to know your team and your goals, and that means support that is practical, relevant, and it's never copy and paste you get unlimited real time support from real humans. Whether it's tricky conversations, a policy review, we're right here with the guidance and support inside our community forum.

[00:04:00] You'll never be left in the dark or wondering what's next. You don't have to sit on a phone for hours waiting for a call set to answer. We will provide you that advice within one business day. It is also incredible value for money. This is not a set and forget subscription. It's not a membership. It's a retainer service that we encourage you to use every single month. We send you reminders to make sure you're booking your consults. We send you reminders to learn new things each week.

 

We encourage you to use the templates and ask questions and get feedback, and we want you to get the absolute most out of your investment every single month, not just when something goes wrong. You also become part of a community business can feel isolating. Community is one of my highest values and especially when you're leading a team, you can feel kind of lonely.

 

[00:05:00] The HR Link actually brings together other heart led business owners who can, who deeply care about their people. It's not just the support from us at Grounded HR. It's the connections, the learning, and the growth that you can see from others. So this service was designed to give you back some time. It was designed to build your confidence. It was designed to give you less stress and overwhelm. So if you are ready for some personalised support, then the HR link might be the right thing for you.
