The company
Salford-based Elev8edHR is building Evii, an AI assistant that walks UK SME leaders through thorny employment matters — disciplinaries, grievances, absence, recruitment and restructures — with step-by-step guidance, the right documentation and ACAS-aligned best practice.
Small businesses carry the same UK employment law obligations as large firms but rarely have in-house HR, and one mishandled procedure can turn into a costly tribunal claim. An AI tool that codifies ACAS best practice lands exactly where that gap bites hardest.
The company says Evii was built by MCIPD-accredited HR professionals with senior-level SME experience, pairing hands-on people management with deliberately cautious AI design that supports rather than replaces human judgment.
Founder Joanna Griffin leads a team rooted in accredited HR practice rather than generic AI wrappers — the stated design principle is to guide managers, not auto-decide for them, which matters in a domain where bad advice has legal consequences.
