Traditional HR consultants charge anywhere from $300 to $500 per hour. Anyone charging less probably isn't experienced or qualified enough to be giving you advice that could make or break your business. Our People Powered HR membership gives you ongoing access to expert HR support, templates, tools and monthly live Q&A sessions for just $97 per month, that’s less than $25 a week. For business owners who need more hands-on personalised support, Power BOSS is a private 6-month mentoring partnership at $997 per month. There's a solution for where you are right now.

This is the question most small business owners ask, usually right before something goes wrong. Employment law applies to your business whether you have 2 staff or 200. Fair Work obligations, award rates, employment contracts, performance management, these don't scale down because your team is small. What changes is how you access support. You don't need a full-time HR person. You need the right knowledge and someone to call when things get tricky.

Most small business owners don't realise how many options exist beyond hiring an expensive HR consultant. Good HR support covers the entire employee journey, from writing job ads and hiring the right person, through onboarding, managing performance, handling difficult situations, staying across Fair Work and award changes, and ending employment the right way when needed. At People Powered Business you can access that support through an affordable membership, or through private one-on-one mentoring if you need something more personalised. It's not just compliance paperwork, it's having someone genuinely in your corner who understands small business.

Fair Work compliance is one of the biggest sources of stress for small business owners, and one of the most common things people get wrong without even realising it. The key areas to get right are employment contracts, award rates and classifications, leave entitlements, and having proper processes in place for performance management and termination. The Fair Work Act changes regularly, and keeping up with those changes while running a business is genuinely hard. Inside People Powered HR members are the first to know when legislation or award changes happen, in plain English, with clear guidance on what it means for their business.

Most people don't start a business because they want to manage people, but suddenly that's a huge part of the job. Becoming a better boss isn't about reading a leadership textbook or doing a corporate management course. It's about understanding how you're wired, knowing your strengths and blind spots, learning how to have the conversations that matter, and building the confidence to make decisions without second-guessing yourself. That's exactly what we work on inside Power BOSS, and it's woven through everything we do at People Powered Business.

If you're repeating yourself constantly, nothing is sticking, and your team seems to do things their own way regardless of what you've asked, you're not alone. This is one of the most common frustrations small business owners share with us. Usually it comes down to three things: clarity of expectations, consistency in how you follow through, and your own confidence as the boss. When those three things are right, everything shifts. This is exactly the kind of thing we help you work through, practically, not theoretically.
