HR Advisory Services in Malaysia
Running a business without a strategic HR function is like navigating without a map. Employment law changes. Statutory obligations shift. IR disputes cost money and time. 6HRS HR Advisory gives you expert HR guidance, on demand, without the overhead of a full-time HR Director.
Since 2019, we've helped Malaysian SMEs and mid-market companies build the HR foundations they need to hire confidently, manage compliantly, and scale without people-risk.
What Is HR Advisory?
HR advisory is strategic consultancy on people management, distinct from day-to-day HR administration. Where payroll outsourcing manages the mechanics of employment, HR advisory helps you make smarter decisions about your workforce.
A 6HRS HR advisor works with your leadership team to design HR strategy, build compliant policies, and solve complex people problems, from restructuring a team to handling a wrongful dismissal claim.
What 6HRS HR Advisory Covers
Employment Law Compliance
Malaysian employment law is complex and changes regularly. We keep your business aligned with the Employment Act 1955, Industrial Relations Act 1967, and the latest updates from the Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR), before they become a problem.
HR Policy Design
We develop Employee Handbooks, HR policies, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are legally compliant, practically enforceable, and clearly written for your employees.
Industrial Relations (IR) Support
Facing a misconduct issue or a wrongful dismissal claim? We advise on proper disciplinary procedures, domestic inquiry processes, and Industrial Court submissions, protecting your business while treating employees fairly.
Workforce Planning & Org Design
We help you plan headcount, design reporting structures, and align your people strategy with your business growth plan, so you're not always hiring reactively.
HR Audit
We review your existing HR practices against current Malaysian compliance standards and identify gaps that expose your business to statutory penalties or labour disputes.
Change Management
Restructuring? Merging teams? Navigating a redundancy process? We guide you through the process compliantly, minimising legal exposure and employee relations risk.
Who Needs HR Advisory?
- SMEs with no internal HR function, getting the basics right before scaling
- Companies facing an IR or compliance issue, when you need expert guidance fast
- Growing businesses restructuring for scale, aligning your org structure with your strategy
- Finance or operations leaders managing HR by default, getting strategic support without hiring permanently
