People & Talent
HR processes without an HR department.
HR process setup puts simple, repeatable routines in place for onboarding, performance, absence and offboarding. Brenvard helps startups and smaller businesses build HR processes that a small team can run without a dedicated HR department.
In short
What are HR processes?
HR processes are the routines that support people through their time with your company: how they start, how their work and development is followed up, how absence and holidays are handled, and how they leave.
Without them, every situation is handled from scratch. With simple processes, managers know what to do and employees know what to expect.
For official guidance, see the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. At Brenvard, HR process setup is part of our wider People & Talent services.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we often get.
When does a small business need HR processes?
Usually when the team grows beyond what founders can handle informally, often somewhere around the first ten employees.
Do we need HR software?
Not always. Simple tools and templates are often enough at first. We help you decide when a dedicated tool makes sense.
Can you train our managers?
Yes. We walk managers through the processes and templates so they can use them with confidence.
How does this connect to recruitment?
Recruitment and onboarding are closely linked. We often set up both together so new hires get a consistent start.
