Small Business Week HR Offers for UK Employers
Practical HR Support for small businesses … without the big business price tag
Running a small business is exciting, demanding and, at times, completely overwhelming.
You are wearing all the hats. You are managing clients, cashflow, marketing, sales, suppliers, operations and, somewhere in the middle of all that, your people.
And that is often where things start to feel complicated.
What do you put in a contract?
How do you deal with poor performance?
What happens when someone keeps calling in sick?
Are your policies up to date?
Can you say no to a flexible working request?
Are you doing things properly, or just hoping nothing goes wrong?
At DOHR, we work with micro and small businesses across the UK to make HR simpler, clearer and much less scary.
So, to celebrate Small Business Week, organised by Entrepreneurs Circle, we are offering three special HR offers for small business owners who want to get their people processes in better shape.
These offers are only available during Small Business Week.
Small Business Week Special Offers from DOHR
For one week only, small businesses can choose from the following DOHR offers.
Whether you need a quick HR sense-check, ongoing expert support, or a better way to manage employee records, this is the perfect time to take action.
Offer 1: Free HR Audit
Find out where your HR risks are before they become expensive problems
Many small business owners do not know what is missing from their HR until something goes wrong.
An employee raises a grievance.
A sickness issue becomes difficult to manage.
A probation period has not been documented properly.
A contract is out of date.
A policy is missing.
A manager has said the wrong thing with the best of intentions.
Our free HR Audit gives you a practical review of where you are now and what needs attention.
We will help you identify potential gaps in areas such as:
- Employment contracts
- Staff handbooks and workplace policies
- Right to work and employee records
- Sickness and absence processes
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures
- Probation and performance management
- Holiday, working time and family-friendly processes
- General HR compliance and documentation
This is not about frightening you with legal jargon. It is about giving you clarity.
You will come away with a better understanding of what is working, what needs tightening up, and what should be prioritised.
Best for: small business owners who want peace of mind and a clear HR action plan.
Offer 2: 12 months for the price of 11 on The HR Club
Ongoing HR support for small businesses who need answers, reassurance and practical guidance
You did not start your business to become an HR expert.
But once you employ people, HR questions become part of everyday business life.
Can I extend someone’s probation?
What should I put in writing after an informal warning?
How do I deal with lateness?
Do I need a policy for this?
Can I change someone’s hours?
What do I do if two employees are not getting on?
The HR Club gives small business owners access to practical, professional HR support, without the cost of a full retained HR service.
During Small Business Week, we are offering:
12 months of membership to The HR Club for the price of 11
That means you get a full year of HR support, guidance and reassurance, with one month free.
The HR Club is designed for small businesses that want to do things properly but need affordable, accessible help when HR issues crop up.
It is there to help you make better decisions, avoid unnecessary mistakes and feel more confident when managing your team.
Best for: employers who want ongoing HR support without committing to a traditional retained consultancy package.
Offer 3: One free month on Breathe HR software*
Get your HR admin out of spreadsheets, inboxes and paper files
If your employee records are scattered across emails, folders, spreadsheets and handwritten notes, you are not alone.
But as your business grows, messy HR admin becomes harder to manage — and easier to get wrong.
Breathe is simple HR software for SMEs, helping businesses manage employee records, holiday, sickness, documents, performance and reporting in one secure system. DOHR is a Breathe Gold Partner, which means we can support you not only with access to the system, but with implementing it properly so you actually get value from it.
During Small Business Week, we are offering:
One free month on Breathe HR software
Breathe can help you:
- Store employee records securely
- Manage annual leave and absence
- Keep contracts and documents in one place
- Track sickness and performance
- Reduce HR admin
- Improve visibility across your team
- Move away from spreadsheets and manual processes
Software alone does not solve every HR problem, but the right system, set up properly, can make a huge difference to how confidently and efficiently you manage your people.
Best for: small businesses that want to get organised, save time and reduce HR admin headaches.
* This offer is not available to existing Breathe Clients
Why we are supporting Small Business Week
Small Business Week is a Nation-wide campaign established by The Entrepreneurs Circle taking place from 1–7 June 2026, created to help small businesses get seen, supported and shared by local customers.
At DOHR, small businesses are at the heart of what we do.
We know that many small employers want to do the right thing. They care about their teams. They want to be fair. They want to follow the law. They want to build good workplaces.
But they rarely have an internal HR department, a legal team or a dedicated people manager.
That’s where we come in.
We provide clear, commercial and practical HR support for small businesses, charities and growing organisations across the UK.
We do not overcomplicate things.
We do not bury you in jargon.
We do not make HR feel bigger and scarier than it needs to be.
We help you understand what needs to happen, why it matters and how to move forward.
We give you options, explain the pros and cons of each option and enable you, as the business owner, to take informed decisions… it is your business after all!
Choose the Small Business Week offer that is right for you
Not sure which offer to choose?
That is completely fine.
If you know your HR paperwork needs a review, start with the free HR Audit.
If you want ongoing HR advice and support, The HR Club is likely to be the best fit.
If your HR admin is messy, manual or taking too much time, ask us about Breathe HR software.
And if you are not sure, just get in touch. We will talk it through with you and point you in the right direction.
These offers are only available during Small Business Week
To qualify for one of these Small Business Week offers, you must contact DOHR and sign up during Small Business Week.
After that, the offers will close.
So, if HR has been sitting on your “I really must sort that out” list, this is your prompt.
Let’s get your HR foundations stronger, your admin clearer and your people processes working properly.
