“We employ 120 staff in the Rochdale and Bury area and we had used a telephone based service for the previous 5 years. We had become dissatisfied with the ‘remoteness’ of the service, often finding that the last person we spoke to was not available. When we started to work with HR Assist it was immediately noticeable that we could deal with any issues much more quickly. As our relationship developed, HR Assist became more strategically involved in our business and provided workshops to develop the HR skills of our managers. This process also involved HR Assist re-writing a number of our processes.
The end result is a team of managers who are far more capable and empowered and a reduction in the amount of hassle for senior management. Another important benefit to us has been being able ask HR Assist to attend key meetings. This has allowed us to provide solutions to problems in a much shorter timescale and to conduct the meeting in the knowledge that we have professional advice present, rather than having to seek it afterwards. We are very pleased with the relationship we have with HR Assist and have no hesitation recommending their services to other organisations”
