We work with small businesses, charities, and third sector organisations across the UK, providing hands-on HR consultancy that's grounded in employment law, built around your people, and focused on results. We don't do jargon. We don't do unnecessary complexity. We do clear advice, practical solutions, and genuine partnership.

HR Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know about working with People at Work — from how we work to what it costs.
What HR services do you offer?
We offer four core service areas: legal compliance and employment law, HR problem solving, organisation and staff development, and health and safety. Whether you need a one-off contract review or ongoing HR support, we can help.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes — small and medium-sized businesses are our core clients. We give you the HR expertise of a dedicated HR manager without the full-time salary cost. Pay for what you actually need, when you need it.
Do you work with charities and third sector organisations?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience with charities, CICs, and non-profit organisations across the UK. We understand the unique HR challenges the third sector faces — from volunteer management to funding-related redundancies.
What areas of the UK do you cover?
We work with clients across England, Wales, and Scotland. Most of our work is delivered remotely, with on-site visits available where needed.
How much does HR consultancy cost?
We offer flexible pay-as-you-go support — you only pay for what you use, with no retainer or monthly minimum. We also offer support packages for organisations that need regular HR input. Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your needs.
How quickly can you respond to an urgent HR issue?
We respond to all enquiries within 1 business day. For urgent matters — such as a disciplinary, grievance, or conflict situation — we prioritise fast turnaround so you are never left without support.
Is Mo Rasanayagam a qualified HR professional?
Yes. Mo is a Chartered Member of the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) with nearly 30 years of hands-on HR experience across a wide range of sectors.
What is the difference between pay-as-you-go and a support package?
Pay-as-you-go means you call on us when you need us — ideal for one-off issues or occasional HR support. A support package gives you a retainer arrangement, suited to organisations that need regular, ongoing HR input.
