HR knowledge you can use
Phronesis has been built around a simple principle: good HR guidance should be clear, practical and grounded in reliable sources.
Our approach combines UK employment law, ACAS guidance, established HR practice and more than 25 years of professional HR experience supported by safeguards designed to distinguish established facts from interpretation and identify situations where professional human advice may be needed.
These downloadable guides provide a snapshot of that knowledge.

Need an answer that isn't in a guide?
A guide can explain the principles. Phronesis can help you apply them to your situation.
Ask Phronesis an HR question and receive instant, practical guidance based on the information you provide including relevant sources, confidence indicators and prompts to seek human support where the issue requires professional judgement.
Employment law changes regularly. Our guides are provided for general HR information and guidance and should not be treated as legal advice. Always check that information remains current and consider professional advice where appropriate.
