Leave the HR to us, so you can focus on what you do best…

Retail comes with its own set of HR pressures: changing footfall, seasonal demand, staff turnover, health & safety, multi-site coordination and much more.

Vero HR has been supporting retail businesses for over two decades, and we understand the rhythms, the risks, and the opportunities. We help streamline HR processes, manage compliance, retain great people, and deliver a customer-focussed team culture.

Payroll services

Handling all payroll needs for full-time, part-time, seasonal and zero-hours contracts. Our comprehensive payroll services ensures accuracy, timely delivery, pensions, holiday pay and statutory obligations are all met.

Utilising the right HR software can significantly improve your organisation’s efficiency and data management. Implement or tailor HR tech (including scheduling, leave, shift-planning, attendance and self-service) to reduce admin, improve visibility and support consistency across shops, outlets and warehouses.
