How do we make this change…?
Four ways to get your people moving in time.
Pick one, mix them, or just start with a conversation. Most good work begins with “here's what's actually going on”.
Ad hoc support
A specific issue, a one-off project or a second opinion. Pay by the hour, half day or day, with no commitment.

Four packages, from The Waltz to The Freestyle. Plain English, screen reader friendly and legally sound. Keep them current as the law changes with The Studio.

The questions we get most.
Do you only work with charities?
No, but a lot of our clients are charities and not-for-profits, and it's work we love. There's charity pricing across the retained packages, ad hoc support and the handbook packages. We identify clients by attitude rather than sector: pragmatic, people-centred, up for tackling things head on.
We're small. Are we too small for you?
Almost certainly not. You can book a single hour of ad hoc support, buy a handbook as a one-off, or join The Studio from £149 a quarter for charities, which gives you the full policy library, a few hours of expert support and Lunch and Learn seats.
What's the difference between The Studio and The Main Stage?
The Studio is for organisations running things themselves, with expert backup and the full policy library. The Main Stage is for having Rachel embedded in your organisation, with time set aside every month.
I just need a handbook. Do I have to sign up to a package?
No, the handbook packages are one-offs. But employment law changes, and The Studio keeps your policy library current, so you're never working from an out-of-date policy.
What isn't included?
Tribunal representation isn't included in any package. We can quote for it separately if you need it.
Can you handle the awkward stuff?
Yes. We can have difficult conversations with you and with your employees. That's often exactly where the useful change starts.
Is this just box ticking with nicer wording?
No. We can get boxes ticked, but probably not in the traditional way. If you want lip service, we're not the consultants for you.
Do you work alone?
No. Kim Smith keeps the whole show organised behind the scenes, and Rachel works with a network of associates, so you get everything from skilled administration through to director-level support.
What clients say
Our reviews.
It's been an absolute pleasure working with Rachel, she's an absolute expert in HR, thoughtful, challenges the best way of doing things and is collaborative, supportive and kind. It always feels like our challenge is Rachel's priority and I really appreciate that.
Rachel is very approachable - she listens and understands what you are trying to achieve. Then works hard to understand the business context and culture and offers sensible, considered solutions that work for our organisation. Her response time is also very fast!
Absolutely brilliant. I felt very confident that my query had been listened to and understood. I was very impressed by The People Choreographer and would not hesitate in using their services again.
