HR Consulting FAQs
HR consulting FAQs-What to Expect When Working With Me
I believe clarity builds trust so before we work together, here’s what you can expect.
My role is to guide and support you with practical, people-focused HR and alignment solutions. I bring nearly 30 years of experience and a calm, grounded approach to every conversation. While I’m not a lawyer, I ensure every step we take is fair, compliant, and aligned with best practice and where specialist advice is needed, I collaborate with trusted legal partners.
Each engagement is tailored to your needs whether it’s designing culture playbooks, mentoring leaders, or guiding a team through alignment so you always know what to expect, and what’s included.
When do I need to seek out HR support?
The moment you employ people, you need HR. There’s no magic headcount that triggers the need, every team benefits from the right foundations. HoHR ensures compliance, but also goes further, helping you consciously design the kind of workplace culture you want to create.
What kind of HR support do you provide?
I specialise in culture, leadership, and growth. That includes HR frameworks, culture playbooks, leadership mentoring, and team alignment. My focus is on creating clarity, communication, and sustainable growth not day-to-day HR administration.
Do you only work with businesses in South Africa?
Not at all. While I’m based in South Africa, I work virtually with teams anywhere in the world. If your team is local, I can also facilitate in person.
How do I know which service is right for me?
Lets start with a conversation. Once I understand your goals and current challenges, I’ll guide you toward the right pathway, whether that’s an individual mentoring session or a team alignment process.
Can you review contracts, handbooks, or policies?
Yes. I review HR documents to ensure they’re compliant, people-centred, and aligned with your company values and HR best practice. I don’t draft legal clauses, I consult a labour lawyer to make sure your HR processes are both legally sound and practical.
How do we start working together?
We begin with a Discovery call to understand your operational and cultural needs. Based on that, we propose support options: Ad-Hoc, Hourly, or Monthly retainers. Everything is transparent and flexible you’ll always know where you stand.
What about billing?
Retainer services include a set number of hours per month, and we log time in 15-minute increments across calls, emails, and document work. If you’re nearing your hours, we’ll keep you updated so there are no surprises.
Do you do Recruitment?
Yes, but not in the traditional sense. We don’t just “fill vacancies”, ideally we align talent with culture and team energy using both HR expertise. Think of us less as recruiters and more as talent matchmakers who ensure your next hire is both compliant and aligned.
What’s Included in HR Advisory Support?
Ongoing support includes regular HR and culture guidance, strategic check-ins, and document reviews.
You’ll have access to a sounding board for people-related decisions, helping you lead confidently while staying compliant and connected to your team.
Do you provide legal advice or representation?
I don’t offer legal advice or representation, my work focuses on practical HR strategy, culture, and compliance guidance. Where specialised legal input is needed (for example, in complex dismissals, CCMA matters, or contract drafting), I collaborate with or refer you to trusted labour law partners. This ensures your business stays protected and your people are treated with integrity and fairness. My strength lies in helping you apply HR principles confidently knowing when to bring in legal expertise if it’s needed.
Do you handle disciplinary or legal labour matters?
No, I don’t represent clients in disciplinary hearings, CCMA cases, or legal disputes.
However, I can help you navigate these situations fairly and ethically by:
- Reviewing documentation for compliance
- Guiding you on process and communication
- Referring you to a trusted legal partner when needed
Can I combine ongoing HR support with workshops?
Absolutely. Many clients choose a retainer package for day-to-day HR needs and add on a Team Alignment workshop when they want to boost performance and collaboration. We can design a package that fits your team’s size and needs.
Do I need to prepare anything before a Team Alignment session?
Yes. Each team member provides their birth details (date, time, place) so I can prepare their Human Design chart. I’ll meet with each person briefly 1:1 before the group workshop, so they feel comfortable and give their consent to share their profile in a team setting.
Where do sessions take place?
Most sessions are held virtually. In-person sessions can be arranged where necessary.
Human Design FAQs
HR consulting FAQs-How does human design fit into HR?
Human design is about understanding how people are wired to work, lead, and collaborate best. We use it as an additional layer in HR consulting to help leaders make better decisions, improving communication across teams, and ensuring talent sourcing matches not just skills but also energy and culture fit.
What exactly is Human Design, and why do you use it in business?
Human Design is sometimes called the science of differentiation. At its core, it shows that no two people are wired the same way, we each have a unique blueprint for how we use energy, make decisions, and contribute to the world.
Instead of asking you to fit into a standard model of productivity (like the 9–5, one-size-fits-all schedule), it reveals your natural way of working. This insight helps people stop comparing themselves to others and start honouring their own strengths.
For me personally, this was the missing piece. I had tried every personality framework and assessment, but nothing explained why the traditional 9–5 model always left me drained. When I discovered I’m a Projector energy type, it was a huge “aha” moment -suddenly it made sense that I wasn’t built to push and hustle like others. Instead, I’m designed to guide, to hold space, and to work in a way that uses my energy wisely.
That’s why I use Human Design in business. It’s not about labels or boxes, it’s about creating work environments where each person’s energy is recognised and valued. For teams, this means fewer clashes, better flow, and performance that doesn’t burn people out.
Is my personal information (birth details) kept confidential?
Yes. Your birth details are used only to generate your chart. I meet with each person individually (either virtually or in-person) before a team workshop, and we only share what you feel comfortable revealing. Privacy and trust are central to how I work nothing is disclosed without your consent.
What if I don’t know my exact birth time?
If you don’t know your exact time, I can still work with a range (morning, afternoon, evening) and check for variations. In many cases, the chart differences are minimal. For teams, I focus on the reliable aspects of your design so you still gain clear insights.
Will Human Design conflict with my personal or religious beliefs?
No. Human Design isn’t a religion or philosophy, it’s a self-awareness system, much like personality tools (MBTI, Enneagram, StrengthsFinder or StandOut ). You’re free to take what resonates and leave the rest. Most people find it gives them a fresh, practical language for understanding themselves and OR their team.
How do you handle sensitive dynamics in a team workshop?
I always start with 1:1 sessions, so each person feels safe and understands what’s being shared. In the team workshop, the focus is on collaboration styles, decision-making, and strengths, never on exposing personal issues. Everything is shared respectfully and only with agreement from the individuals.
Do you offer Human Design readings?
I don’t offer traditional chart readings. Instead, I integrate Human Design as one of many tools to help you understand how you’re wired so you can make aligned decisions and lead with clarity.
What happens after our first session?
You’ll leave with practical insights and next steps. Many clients choose to continue through the TruEssence Alignment Pathway™ — a deeper process to awaken, align, and activate your authentic way of working.
What size team is best for a Team Alignment workshop?
My workshops are designed for small teams of up to 6 people. This allows me to create a safe space for each individual, while still exploring how your team works together as a whole. If your team is larger, we can look at running multiple smaller sessions.
What’s the difference between Coaching and Mentoring?
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a process that helps you find your own answers through guided questioning, reflection, and goal-setting.
A coach holds space, asks powerful questions, and supports you in discovering clarity and accountability within yourself.
In coaching, the coach doesn’t give advice — they help you uncover what’s already true for you.
What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is more relational and experience-based.
A mentor has walked the path before you and shares guidance, insights, and tools based on lived experience.
It’s about transferring wisdom, offering perspective, and helping you navigate real-world situations with more ease and confidence.
In mentoring, the mentor walks beside you, offering both reflection and direction.
How I Blend the Two:
In my work, I draw from both mentoring and coaching, depending on what serves you best in the moment.
- When you need clarity, I ask reflective questions (coaching).
- When you need direction or practical HR guidance, I share my experience (mentoring).
- When you need a system, structure, or process, I design it with you (consulting).
This integrated approach allows the process to stay fluid, human, and responsive, meeting you where you are, not forcing a one-size-fits-all method.
