Testimonials

Approached Helen for advice relating to HR documents, turnaround on feedback and advice was immediate and we will be using her services again. Very personable and helpful.

Owen Smith

I would recommend Helen O’Byrne as she has proved her knowledge and expertise in the field of HR to be a vital resource, which I found to be invaluable when managing an establishment of over fifty staff in my last organisation.

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.

John Devine

I worked with Helen for a number of years in the Further Education sector. During that time I found her to be a highly competent H/R professional and also an approachable one.

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.
