The
human
layer.
Your people systems, operating structure, and organizational health are not separate problems — they compound. Required Human Un Ltd. is the parent company behind human-first consulting ventures, including happyish HR, our HR and people ops consulting practice for growing teams.
In a world increasingly run by automation, the human layer isn't optional. It's the infrastructure everything else runs on.
What does "Required Human" actually mean?
In software, a required field cannot be skipped — the system will not proceed without it. Required Human Un Ltd. operates from the same premise: no matter how sophisticated your tools, stack, or automation, the human layer cannot be omitted. Our work is organized through focused ventures, including happyish HR, our HR and people ops consulting practice, because businesses do better when support is specialized without becoming fragmented.
The premise
Required.
Human.
Un Ltd.
Every organization runs on the same things: the people inside it, the systems that support them, the financial discipline behind the business, and the structures that keep it compliant. Most firms treat those as separate categories. We build around how they actually show up in real companies — together.

07 scenarios
"We've outgrown winging it on HR but can't justify a full-time hire."
You need policy, compliance, manager support, and people infrastructure — without the cost of building a full internal function too early. That is exactly where happyish HR fits.
People Ops"The founder has been doing the books. It's not sustainable anymore."
Disorganized financials slow down hiring, planning, and decision-making. Clean books aren't just about compliance — they're a competitive advantage.
Bookkeeping"I work hard, eat well-ish, and still feel like I'm running on fumes."
High-performing professionals often keep the business moving while neglecting the systems that keep them functioning. Personalized wellness support helps close that gap in a realistic, non-performative way.
Individual Wellness"Our best people are burning out and we don't have a real answer for it."
Burnout is rarely solved by a perk alone. Better outcomes come from aligning workload, management expectations, and real support for the humans doing the work.
Team Wellness"We hired globally and now compliance is keeping me up at night."
International hiring creates operational and legal exposure most early teams are not equipped to manage alone. Getting it right early is dramatically cheaper than fixing it later.
Global Compliance"We're starting a business and have no idea how to structure it legally."
Entity selection — LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp — is not just paperwork. The structure you choose affects taxes, liability, and how cleanly the business can grow.
Entity Formation"We need to wind down an entity and have no idea where to start."
Dissolution is more involved than most founders expect — from settling obligations and closing registrations to final filings and stakeholder communication. Doing it cleanly protects you from lingering liability.
