HR Headaches? I Make Them Go Away
I’m Emma — The HR Goddess. I help small business owners cut through HR chaos with straight-talking, no-jargon support.
From staff to grievances and tricky absences, I give you clarity, confidence and peace of mind — without hiring an HR manager.
CLICK BELOW TO WATCH FIRST!
HR Shouldn’t Keep You Awake At Night.
A new recruit isn’t working out — but letting them go feels risky.
A sickness absence drags on — and you’re not sure what’s legal.
A grievance lands on your desk — and you’re thinking “one wrong step = tribunal.”
You’re not alone. Nearly half of UK managers now handle HR without formal training, and 73% list compliance as their number one stressor. No wonder HR is the problem that gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
Here’s what doesn’t help:
Big agencies with cookie-cutter policies.
HR people who hide behind jargon.
DIY advice from Google or ChatGPT — quick fixes that miss your culture and risks.
I’m different. I cut through the noise, show you your options, and guide you safely through.

You’re not alone. Nearly half of UK managers now handle HR without formal training, and 73% list compliance as their number one stressor. No wonder HR is the problem that gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
