Thank you HR Dept for all your support and advice!
The HR Dept has been extremely helpful ever since I took on my current role and started working with them. They have been supportive and encouraging while giving me, and our organisation, extremely relevant and valuable advice. I am grateful to have the chance to work with them on improving our processes, dealing with challenging people matters, and learning and growing as a People & Culture professional. I cannot thank them enough and would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking for HR support and advice!

We cannot thank Erica enough for all of the help and support she gave us recently by rewriting our old contracts and staff handbook, bringing them up to date with a fresh feel.
Erica, at HR Dept, Solihull, worked with us to understand the needs of our business and was extremely patient with me when, more than once, we asked for things to be worded slightly differently.
We had Zoom meetings to discuss all the changes and it she didn't sign it off until we were all happy with the final outcome
We are only a small business with under 50 employees, so if ever we need her support in the future, which I'm sure we will, we will not hesitate to get in touch.
We will definitely be recommending her service to others in need.
Extremely friendly professional and…

More time
We had always dealt with HR issues within our small company, which meant spending vasts amount of time researching issues and documents online. Since joining the HR Dept we don't need to worry, we simply pick up the phone and have an answer straight away. Throughout the pandemic they kept us up to date with any employment guidance or changes. This crucial support has enabled us time to develop and grow our business with confidence.

Emma has brought a new lease of life to our HR Department, she is very visible with the staff and spent time meeting with them all individually. She has been there for me at any day of the week, even the weekend when I have a question that cannot wait. I highly recommend her service.
