HR Connect works with businesses to support all or some of their human resource needs. We specialise in small to medium size businesses and also work with a number of not for profit community organisations. Some of our clients have made the following testimonials about our work with them.
Sally Bary, Managing Director, ForumPoint2 ForumPoint2 has now worked with HR Connect Ltd for two years. Prior to this we managed our human resource internally. However the need for successful staff recruitment, sound HR practices and policies necessitated an HR audit. We asked Sandra Diekerhof of HR Connect to undertake this for us. As a result of this audit, ForumPoint2 now have a performance management system specifically designed for our needs, with robust policies and position descriptions.
HR Connect have also assisted with staff recruitment in this time. We appreciate many aspects of HR Connects expertise and professionalism. Sandra's understanding of issues and sensitivities around staff recruitment is exemplary. Her ability to listen with care to all parties and then provide appropriate and fair advice is invaluable. Prior meeting preparation, management of time restraints, and follow up is extremely detailed and accurate. Sandra's written report presentations are immaculate and concise.
Whilst ForumPoint2 is a small team, we have realised that reliable HR practices are not only essential but add significantly to the positive dynamics of our business. Working closely with HR Connect gives us not only peace of mind, but a distinct leading edge in our industry.
Nick Smith, GM -Operations, Proform Plastics Ltd
Proform Plastics is a medium sized manufacturer with just over 100 staff. Over our10 years of operation, we grew very quickly in size and hadn't kept up to date with human resource practices or procedures. We had high staff turnover, poor internal relationships and unsupported Supervisors and Managers. We didn't need a full time HR resource, so brought in Sandra from HR Connect for 10 hours a week to start addressing these issues. Sandra did a thorough review of our current practices and developed an HR Plan which we implemented over the following 12 months.
Some of the areas which HR Connect worked through included the development of a remuneration strategy which pays for performance; developing policies and procedures to streamline our HR practices; working with us on our change management procedures to ensure that they were compliant with legislation and fair to our staff; and development of our performance review process to include KPIs and 360º feedback for senior managers. Sandra's strong recruitment knowledge has seen us improve the suitability, skill level and abilities of new recruits and helped us recognise and demonstrate candidate care to all applicants.
HR Connect has shown us that by investing in and valuing our staff, Proform has created a workplace that can meet its future challenges and grow. I thoroughly recommend HR Connect's services to any small or medium sized business.
