About Us
About Laura Hartman
I’m an HR consultant in Leeds specialising in workplace mediation and investigations, with particular expertise in the adult social care sector. I support business owners and senior leaders who need clear, compliant, HR advice – especially when issues are sensitive, complex, or carry employment tribunal risk. Alongside my specialist work in social care, I also provide general HR consultancy for small and medium‑sized businesses across any sector.
Specialist HR Support for Adult Social Care Providers
I deliver structured, fair and legally compliant HR support for adult social care organisations, including:
- Workplace investigations (whistleblowing, sexual harassment, safeguarding‑related concerns)
- HR mediation and conflict resolution
- Managing complex employee relations cases
- Ensuring processes are consistent, transparent, and compliant
My background in adult social care means I understand the realities of the sector – regulatory pressures, safeguarding responsibilities, workforce challenges, and CQC expectations. This allows me to approach investigations and mediation with the sensitivity, professionalism, and sector‑specific awareness they require.
Practical, Day‑to‑Day HR for Growing Businesses
I also support SMEs across Yorkshire and beyond with a wide range of HR needs:
- Recruitment and onboarding
- Policy review and implementation
- HR compliance audits
- HR Information System support
- General employee relations advice
These services are ideal for organisations without in‑house HR, or those who need additional expertise during busy or complex periods.
