The Advisory Layer Above Day-to-Day HR Delivery.
HR consulting is the senior advisory layer that sits above the operation. Where the TMS payroll, compliance and staffing teams run day-to-day delivery, consulting tells you how the operation should be built: the policies, the labour-law position, the structure. It is judgement on call, not a fixed product.
“Consulting is where advice and execution live in the same house. We tell you how the HR operation should be built, then our delivery teams can run it.”
Senior-Led, With Concrete Deliverables.
Engagements are deliberately senior-led, with consultants running the work directly. You engage hourly, by project, or on a retainer of roughly 10 to 40 hours a month.
Labour-law advisory
Guidance on the labour codes, amendments and employment law that Indian employers have to work within.
HR policy and handbooks
Leave, attendance, IT use and code of conduct, written for Indian law and your context, not borrowed templates.
PoSH and whistleblower
Policy design, internal committee (ICC) setup, annual training and assessment.
HR letter library
Offer, appointment, increment, transfer, warning and termination letters, drafted correctly.
Restructuring and M and A
HR integration, employee migration, diligence and severance, with the statutory detail built in.
HR audit and pre-IPO
Gap reviews that surface issues while you can still fix them, ahead of an audit or a raise.
What You Get With TMS HR Consulting.
