How the support works
What to expect
- 90 minutes per month of priority email support.
- Messages reviewed by senior HR experts (not junior advisors, not AI).
- Thoughtful, experience-based responses — not templates dressed up as certainty.
- Practical, calm, and strategic guidance to help you think clearly before acting.
- Designed for ambiguity, pressure, and power dynamics.
Requests are made via the Profile page for users on the Strategic Edge tier.
Who this is for (and who it’s not)
- You want grounded, experienced perspective.
- You value discretion, clarity, and strategic thinking.
- You’re dealing with ambiguity, power dynamics, pressure, or sudden escalation.
- General employment law advice.
- Litigation strategy.
- Writing legal submissions.
When things hit crisis point
Toxic workplaces don’t just make you feel bad — they can seriously impact your wellbeing, confidence, career trajectory, and life outside work. If something feels wrong at work, it often is. And you don’t have to carry it alone.
- Keep notes as soon as you can after an incident. It helps you stay grounded and gives you a clear record if you later need it.
- Include the date you wrote the note and the date the event happened.
- Write who was there and where you were.
- Capture your best memory of what happened and what was said (keep it factual and specific).
- If it relates to discrimination (protected characteristics).
- If it looks like a reaction to you using a protected right (for example, raising concerns or asserting workplace rights).
- If it suggests a fundamental breach of contract (serious employer conduct that undermines trust and confidence).
Your feelings are valid. This section is here to help you take steady, protective steps and choose what to do next. If you need formal legal advice, you should speak to a qualified employment solicitor.
