The HR Link: Reimagining HR Support for Small Business Owners
If you have ever wondered whether ongoing HR support is worth it or if you should just keep managing it all yourself, you are not alone. For many small business owners, HR feels like a constant juggling act between compliance, contracts and conversations. It can be hard to find a solution that is both affordable and personal.
That is exactly why The HR Link, created by Amy Christopherson at Grounded HR, exists. This service redefines how HR support works for small businesses in Australia, providing real-time, human advice that is flexible, practical and values-led.
Why The HR Link Was Created
Traditional HR models often miss the mark for small businesses. Large consultancies come with high retainers and long contracts, while cheap templates and AI chatbots fail to provide tailored guidance.
Amy saw this gap firsthand after working with hundreds of business owners who wanted to do the right thing but felt overwhelmed, uncertain or alone. The HR Link was designed to change that.
“It is HR reimagined. We built The HR Link to make expert advice accessible, personal and genuinely helpful for small business owners.”
What Makes The HR Link Different
The HR Link is not a membership, subscription or one-size-fits-all program. It is an ongoing HR partnership that adapts to your business as it grows. You get unlimited support, expert advice and a team that genuinely understands your people and goals.
Here is what makes it stand out:
1. Unlimited Real-Time HR Support
You can reach out whenever you need help. Whether it is handling a tough conversation, reviewing a contract or clarifying Fair Work obligations, you will get tailored advice within one business day from a qualified HR professional.
2. Monthly Consults
Every member has access to a monthly one-to-one session with their HR consultant. These meetings help you stay proactive, plan ahead and resolve issues before they escalate.
3. Personalised, People-First Advice
The HR Link is built on relationships. Amy and her team take time to get to know your business, your team and your culture. That means the support you receive is never generic or copied from a template.
4. Community and Connection
When you join The HR Link, you are not just getting HR support. You are joining a community of small business owners who care about their people. It is a space to learn, share and connect with others who are building positive, people-first workplaces.
Who The HR Link Is For
The HR Link is designed for Australian small business owners who lead values-led teams of around five to thirty employees. It is perfect for those who:
-
Want to feel confident managing HR without hiring internally
-
Value expert guidance that is flexible and affordable
-
Prefer human connection over corporate jargon
-
Are ready to move from reactive to proactive HR practices
If you are building a team and want to do it right—with less stress and more confidence—The HR Link is made for you.
How The HR Link Helps You Lead with Confidence
The HR Link was created to give small business owners the tools and confidence to lead their teams well. It helps you:
-
Save time: No more endless searching for answers or drafting documents from scratch.
-
Stay compliant: Get clarity on contracts, policies and Fair Work requirements.
-
Build trust: Handle conversations with calm, kindness and confidence.
-
Plan ahead: Move from putting out fires to creating lasting structure and culture.
By taking the guesswork out of HR, you can focus on what you do best—running and growing your business.
