Testimonials
Both ourselves and our new employee feel confident and happy in our working agreement, which has all been handled very professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend Helen, she has been fantastic for us at a time of big change in the business which could very easily have caused us a lot of stress.
Over a period of three years working with Helen I required advice and guidance dealing with complex and often difficult situations ranging from restructures to performance management of staff. Her knowledge, expertise, advice and guidance ensured I was in a position to confidently make difficult informed decisions.
Helen’s advice and guidance in supporting my direct reports (middle managers) performance manger their staff has proved time and time again to be a real asset.
She gave excellent advice, support and service to both management and employee, even if it was not what they wanted to hear because she was forthright and fair when doing so. I had no hesitation recommending Helen to two organisations that are planning to merge and wanted an independent H/R professional to help then with the appointments process for the new senior leadership team. Helen knows her stuff.
