Do I need a full-time HR team to work with you?

No — this service is designed for businesses that need senior HR support without hiring full-time.

What industries do you work with?

Retail, hospitality, logistics, healthcare, and other fast-growing SME sectors.

Can you help with urgent issues?

Yes — especially when things have already gone wrong and need fast, experienced handling.

Are you familiar with Irish employment law?

Yes — all advice is aligned with Irish employment legislation.

How does pricing work?

Grievance, Disciplinary & Capability Procedures

Handled correctly, fairly, and without the drama derailing your business.

Unresolved workplace grievances and poorly handled disciplinary processes cost more than time — they cost trust, productivity, and can expose your business to legal risk. SmartStart People Management manages the process for you, from the first complaint through to resolution, so it’s handled fairly, follows Irish employment law, and protects your business at every stage.

How We Help

Formal grievance procedures built around your business, not a generic template
Fair, impartial investigations that give every party a proper hearing
Disciplinary processes run correctly — from the first meeting through to any appeal
Workplace mediation, where a neutral third party can resolve things faster than a formal process
Full preparation and representation if a case reaches the Workplace Relations Commission

Why It Matters

A well-run process protects your business as much as your employees. Get it wrong, and you risk unfair or constructive dismissal claims, reputational damage, and a workplace culture that suffers long after the case is closed. Get it right, and you have a clear, defensible record — and a team that trusts the process.

When a serious conduct issue came up with a member of our green-keeping team, we had no idea how to handle it without putting the club at risk. SmartStart ran the whole disciplinary process for us, properly, fairly, and without the drama we were dreading. We got a clean outcome and I’d never try to manage something like that alone again.
