A flexible way to buy HR support
The right model when the outcome is clear but the work is substantial.
Some HR challenges need more than a short advice call but do not justify an ongoing retainer. Fixed-Cost HR turns that work into a defined project with responsibilities, outputs and cost agreed at the start.
This model is particularly useful for documentation overhauls, independent investigations, process design and sensitive organisational work where you need specialist capacity through to completion.
This option works well for:
- Independent workplace investigations
- Contract and handbook overhauls
- HR compliance audits
- Redundancy project support
- HR process mapping
- Defined policy or organisational projects

Common questions
Fixed-Cost HR Projects questions, answered.
For advice about a live situation, speak to our team in confidence.
How is a fixed project priced?
We first define the scope, deliverables and likely complexity. Dekela then provides an upfront proposal with a fixed price for the agreed work.
What if the scope changes?
If new allegations, documents or requirements materially change the agreed scope, we discuss the impact and agree any variation before carrying out additional work.
Do we need a retainer?
No. Fixed-Cost HR is available as a standalone service for businesses that need a defined project without monthly support.
Can you work with our internal HR team?
Yes. We can provide specialist delivery or additional capacity while agreeing clear roles, access and communication with your internal team.
