Building Culture and capability

Your hands-on HR consultancy, preventing problems before they arise

Talk to us

---

We’re here for the leaders, the accidental managers, and the business founders who are brilliant at what they do but never set out to become experts in employment law. 

You have a clear vision for your organisation, but you could live without the compliance headaches. And if you do spot any bubbling issues, you want to be confident that you’re handling them properly and fairly.

But right now, everything feels a bit scattered, a bit lonely, and a bit much.

If it sometimes feels like you’re guessing in the dark, it’s not your fault. You just need someone who understands the people side of things in the same way you understand your business.

Ducks Away is not your average HR consultancy

With over 30 years in leadership, management and HR under our belts, we stay curious and collaborative, building teams where everyone feels safe to contribute. 

We’ll support you with compliance and capability, of course. But we’ll also spend time building strong teams that can work together through challenges. 

This is only possible because we get to know your business. You won’t find a faceless advice line here, but a partner who knows your people and is genuinely invested in helping them grow.

And we’ll do it with kindness, fairness, and clear communication. We’ve been on both sides of the HR desk, so above all, we keep it human.

Feeling privileged to have been part of this fabulous learning…who knew LSP would have opportunities for such a a lot of laughing as well as learning.

Building stronger, more collaborative teams with Lego ® Serious Play ®

We use experiential-learning methods like LEGO ® Serious Play ®  and magnetic mapping to get people thinking, talking, and building together. 

They’re fun, yes, but they’re also evidence-based. They’re proven to bring people together, facilitate effective conversations, and encourage contributions from even the quietest voices in the room. 

Because we work on the basis that the answers are always already in the room. We’ll help your team find them and create plans that stick well beyond Friday.

A Retainer Plus model that works around you 

Our retainer model is flexible. So you get all the compliance and capability support you need, with built-in coaching and team development. Any unused advice hours go straight into a learning and development pot for you to use whenever you need it. 

So you get every drop of value out of your relationship with us, and your team will feel the difference.

Ready to begin?

Let’s start with a conversation. Tell us about your business, your team, where you’re going, and what’s currently keeping you up at night.

We’ll agree a plan. Whether that’s a retainer, a one-off workshop, or a bit of both, we’ll work out the best fit for your situation.

Then we’ll get to know you. This means your business and your people. So that all our advice and support is specific to the nuances of the issues you’re dealing with.

We roll up our sleeves and get stuck in, while you focus on growing your organisation.

With strong foundations, a cohesive team, and solid compliance, your team can fly while you build on what you’ve achieved. And if a problem emerges, we’ll get in front of it before it gains momentum.

Building capability, compliance, and culture from the inside out.
