How much of your HR workload became yours simply because nobody else claimed it?

The office move. The staff event. The work permits. The “can you just…” requests that somehow become permanent responsibilities.

The Black Hole in HR is a free, practical guide from Julie Turney, founder of HR@Heart Consulting, to help you recognise the work your HR team has inherited and start a clearer conversation about ownership, resources and support.

Inside this eight-page guide, you’ll find:

• 32 functions that can drift into HR, with suggested roles and teams to involve.

• Four patterns behind the overload, helping you understand why work keeps landing on your desk.

• 18 specialist roles, with practical options for organisations that cannot hire a person for every function.

• A three-question Ownership Audit exploring expertise, budget and authority.

• Four practical moves to turn your findings into a constructive leadership conversation.

Created for HR professionals, HR teams and business leaders who want clearer responsibilities and a more sustainable way of working.
