# consultation — HR Manager

For an HR Manager, 'consultation' isn’t about being a detached advisor; it's *applied* problem-solving *with* internal clients – managers, team leads, and sometimes even employees directly. Daily this looks like being pulled into meetings to advise on performance management issues (e.g., ‘How do I document this consistently?’), interpreting policy for specific situations (‘Can we offer flexible working in this case?’), or helping design solutions to employee relations concerns ('We're seeing high turnover in this team, what can we investigate?'). It’s about translating HR principles into practical guidance tailored to their context. Tools used are active listening, needs assessment questionnaires (briefly!), policy documentation, and often, a solid understanding of employment law.
