Working at Fig Tree HR
Who we are.
Fig Tree HR was founded in 2022 to make brilliant HR accessible to fast growth businesses. We’re passionate about the tech startup ecosystem & overall entrepreneurial journey and know the difference that great HR has for entrepreneurs taking the leap into leadership, growth & scaling.
Our services cover the entire HR lifecycle & the support might be answering absence queries, writing contracts of employment, acting as Investigating Officer or creating People roadmaps. Plus a whole heap more value-adding HR support.
Our support usually falls within the following three areas:
Being the outsourced day-to-day HR support for small businesses.
Being the fractional CPO for scaling fast growth businesses.
Being the Investigating Officer or Project Support Lead for corporates.
How we do things is just as important as what we do.
Whether we’re supporting seasoned business leaders, guiding those with no prior management experience, or supporting existing HR teams, we’re a strategic partner that takes a pragmatic & empathetic approach.
It’s important that we build great relationships with our clients - the more we know about what’s happening in their world, the more we can provide effective solutions, whether that’s reacting to an issue or planning for upcoming plans & events. We take a coaching approach by talking clients through situations so that they understand risks & options in a helpful, simple & jargon-free way. How we do things is as just as important as what we do!
We pride ourselves on delivering a high quality service and our overall approach - our exceptional client feedback highlights the value we add & difference we make.
What we do and how we do it is underpinned by our values.
We are professional, approachable, and act with integrity. We fundamentally believe in equity & inclusion and treat all with dignity and respect. We’re accountable for our behaviour, are always learning and own up to mistakes when things go wrong so that we can put things right.
It’s important to us that we create a working environment where you can be your best & develop your skills in a fast paced & supportive environment. In addition to our values, these pillars are what you can expect from us and what we expect from you as one of our team.
No Team Member Left Behind: We know our individual workloads but we prioritise delivery of the team’s priority work, and support each other when things get busy.
Help Clients Build Better Businesses: HR isn’t a ‘check-box’ exercise. Great HR makes better businesses & better workplaces, so we always think beyond the issue at hand and look at how the work we do can have wider positive impact.
Be where you need to be: We trust in the skills, experience & professionalism that each person brings. Our team does great things and we know that for our team to be at their best, they need to have a working pattern & flexibility that works for them.
