Hi there, and welcome to The Second Thought — the thinking space of Two Heads HR.
This is where I’ll be sharing useful insights, practical tips, and the occasional opinion piece on all things HR, leadership, and people. Whether you’re a business owner wearing too many hats or a manager just trying to do the right thing by your team — you’re in the right place.
So, what is outsourced HR?
Outsourced HR means bringing in an experienced people professional to handle your HR needs — without having to hire someone full-time. It’s flexible, cost-effective, and tailored to your business. You get trusted support when you need it, from someone who’s done it all before.
Think:
Clear, compliant policies (without the legalese)
Help navigating tricky performance conversations
Support with recruitment, structure, culture, and change
A second head to bounce ideas off when leadership feels heavy
That’s where Two Heads HR comes in.
Why Two Heads?
Because two heads are better than one — especially when one of them has 25+ years of experience across industries, countries, and company sizes. At Two Heads HR, I provide outsourced HR support that’s practical, human, and judgment-free. You won’t get fluff or corporate jargon — just advice you can act on. Some of my clients need a few hours a month. Others need more regular support. Some just need someone they trust to ask: “How should I handle this?”
If that sounds like you, have a look around the site. And if you’d like to chat about what support could look like for your business — just get in touch.
