Our idea
Strategic HR leadership + legal & compliance execution — tailored for startups and scaling businesses.
Your On-Demand CHRO,Backed by Experts.
Strategic HR. Real Compliance. One Expert Team.
At HROnward, we don’t just give you templates — we give you a part-time Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) who brings a full bench of specialists with them. It’s like building your own HR department — but leaner, smarter, and more affordable.
CHRO-as-a-Service
We help you design compliant HR policies, set up clear organization structures, define roles and workflows, and build performance and engagement frameworks. Founders also receive one-on-one coaching to navigate sensitive HR issues, audits, and people decisions with confidence and clarity.
Specialist Advisory
Our expert network supports your CHRO with payroll and statutory compliance, labor law and IR consulting, legal contract drafting, and senior-level recruitment strategy. From PF and ESIC to trade unions and ESOPs, we cover all critical HR and legal functions with deep, specialized expertise.
Documentation & Execution Support
We deliver ready-to-use documents including offer letters, contracts, and appointment letters. Our team sets up POSH policies and committees, creates SOPs for leave, attendance, exit, and grievances, maintains legal registers, and supports audit readiness — even helping implement employee handbooks and HRMS platforms when needed.
Ongoing Retainer
Our monthly retainer includes regular check-ins with your CHRO, proactive compliance reviews, and expert advice on people issues like terminations or expansions. You also get access to updated templates and toolkits, customized to your company’s evolving HR, legal, and operational requirements.
