Not everything should be handled by AI
And we don't pretend it should.
When situations require judgement or nuance, Phronesis connects you to qualified HR professionals who can step in and support properly.
The principle
Instant where possible. Human where it matters.
Examples where escalation helps
If the situation is sensitive or higher-risk, you'll want a human to review the facts and guide the process.
- Potential dismissal or gross misconduct
- Redundancy planning and consultation
- Discrimination risk or reasonable adjustments
- Whistleblowing or protected disclosures
- Long-term sickness absence
- Grievances and investigations
Phronesis provides guidance, not legal advice. Where professional support is appropriate, we'll recommend escalation.
