Frequently asked questions
4UHR provides independent HR advice for employees, not businesses, overcome modern workplace challenges that can often feel unfair, overly complex or difficult to navigate on your own.
We understand that support isn’t always available at times when you need it. HR teams can be hard to access, slow to respond or overly biased towards the business with you missing out on getting the best advice, support or outcomes for your unique issues. Raising issues with managers, who often play a key role in the issues you are experiencing can lack the time, experience or motivation to listen, understand and resolve what’s important to you.
Our services are designed to understand your unique situation and preferred outcomes before applying our extensive HR experience to provide you with thoughtful, practical steps you can take to get you the right outcomes, in the right way.
At 4UHR, we’re on your side!
4UHR exists to provide you with tailored HR support and advice that helps you get the outcomes you want and deserve, in the right way. We work solely in your interest, taking the time to really understand the issues you are experiencing and what options are available to you in order to navigate the challenges effectively.
Having extensive HR experience, we understand that HR teams can be stretched, unresponsive and not always set up to provide you the help you need. In situations where you don't feel confident trusting your HR team or manager to handle your workplace issues, in your best interest, 4UHR is here to help - we're on your side.

We will provide you with best-in-class HR support and advice drawing on our professional experience taking a coaching approach to guide you through your next steps.
ACAS plays a valuable and well-established role in supporting individuals and employers with workplace issues in the UK. Their guidance is based on promoting fair, lawful, and constructive employment practices and we regularly recommend ACAS as a trusted source of information or as an option to escalate issues that our clients might benefit from e.g. early conciliation.
However, 4UHR offers something that ACAS can’t: tailored, personalised HR advice based on your specific situation in the timeframes you need it.
While ACAS provides excellent general guidance, it is intentionally broad and cannot account for the nuances of your role, the culture of your organisation, or the unique circumstances behind your concerns. Their advisors are impartial and will not offer a view on what you should do based on your desired outcomes - they aim to inform, not advise.
At 4UHR, we work for you, not just around you. That means:
We listen closely to your individual circumstances.
We provide personalised, practical advice that reflects your goals, risk tolerance, and values.
We can support you through every step of your situation—from early concerns through to resolution.
Where ACAS involvement is necessary or helpful, we can help you prepare, understand what to expect, and make sure you're representing your interests clearly and confidently.
In short, ACAS is a valuable national resource. 4UHR is your personal guide through the generalised information it provides. We bring clarity, support, and a human touch to your HR challenges, helping you feel informed, prepared, and empowered to take action.
