The online training session delivered by HRSP covering equality, diversity and inclusion was delivered brilliantly. The approach to tailoring content to the needs of the organisation and in this case, an audience of board members, was well handled. The offer of online training from HRSP is something we will be taking more advantage of from now on.

Using Insights with HR Services Partnership for our senior team gave us a clearer picture of the team dynamics and how we can get the best out of each other. Having the opportunity to work with Annabelle through an online team session also ensured we were able to deliver this during the COVID period. It will be a valuable tool in creating a high-performing team with a clearer understanding of our individual and collective profile.

The HR Services Partnership team supported us during a challenging situation. Their advice and guidance ensured that we could confidently reach a fair and transparent resolution. Their team was professional, approachable and extremely flexible when responding to the rapidly changing needs of our organisation. Thank you Rachel for all your help, insight and expertise.

HRSP provided fantastic support with our recent staffing review. Christian sought to really understand our organisation, and offered clear advice throughout. He was consistently responsive and flexible, and provided a valuable sounding board in respect of some of the more challenging parts of the process. I look forward to continuing to work with HRSP in the future.

Through working closely with HRSP for many years, we approached them to deliver some training for our team. The benefit of this was that the training was tailor-made for our organisational needs and this bespoke course would have been hard to find elsewhere. The training was virtual and covered data protection, GDPR, confidentiality and how to carry out investigations. We wondered how effective the training would be as due to the current pandemic situation it would need to be delivered virtually, but it remained as effective as the previous face-to-face training that we have had with HRSP. We have already seen the benefit of attending this practical course and would have no hesitation in attending another course delivered virtually by HRSP.

We spent time exploring our culture and values and developed a new strategic plan with clear links to these. Using HRSP’s Insights Discovery programme, Annabelle designed a highly successful team away day for our senior management team. We are continuing to work with Annabelle to develop our ongoing leadership programme. I recommend this approach to any organisation which is seeking to develop both individual and team awareness of staff and managers and I feel is excellent value for money.

Rob and his team supported us through an extremely complex restructure affecting 45 staff. They helped us plan and implement the changes with professionalism and care, and were personally supportive through a stressful change period as well as professionally competent. It was a hugely cost-effective solution and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

One of the challenges that face charities with limited resources is that it’s difficult to afford your own in-house, up-to-date expertise on how to manage tricky personnel issues. HRSP challenge and advise us very well and leave us with exceptional confidence about the way forward in every situation. I’ve recommended HRSP to other chief executives, who’ve thanked me for the referral.

Maria and her team have been extremely professional, helpful and supportive and have provided an excellent and personalised service. They quickly understood what we wanted to achieve with regards to performing a general HR audit, introducing HR policies and reviewing existing contracts and ensured that advice was given efficiently and within agreed timeframes. This has been a genuine partnership; Maria’s ability not only to listen well but to challenge when necessary has helped ensure an HR programme that is embraced by all staff, at all levels.

Sara at HR Services provided invaluable advice and support to Changing Faces while we designed and implemented a new staffing structure in line with our new Strategic Plan. Sara does all of this with a wonderfully positive and helpful attitude – which makes her a real pleasure to work with.

I write on behalf of Horley Town Council to thank HR Services Partnership for their very professional advice, support and help at a particularly difficult time in our recent history. I would like to say a big thank you for the ongoing help in restructuring our HR documentation and procedures that are of fundamental importance.

I have worked closely with Maria since 2012 to transform the FMB into a profitable and modern forward-thinking trade association. The strategic and change management advice that Maria provided during our substantial restructure was outstanding and instrumental in creating the FMB that we have today. This was recognised last year when we were awarded Investors in People. Maria and her team consistently and willingly provide innovative and business-focused solutions to meet our changing business needs.

HRSP have provided vital support to both senior management and the trustee board at a time of significant organisational change. We have been fortunate to have Annabelle supporting us who, along with her colleagues, has provided a friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and highly responsive service. They have been an excellent partner and I highly recommend them to any charity seeking quality HR support.

The HR Services Partnership has been a superb partner for us to ensure that our most valuable asset, our people, are managed in the best possible way. The expertise of Rob, Christian and Annabelle has been invaluable.

We been using HRSP since 2007 and have made use of a variety of the services they offer from basic advice to relocation/redundancy consultation, recruitment and training, grievance and disciplinary. The response to all queries is fast, helpful and friendly; their advice is clear and comprehensive; their support invaluable. For organisations too small to field their own HR department, you cannot do better than enlist the services of HRSP for a competitively priced, highly competent, flexible and friendly service.

HR Services Partnership have provided us with fantastic support across a wide range of issues from collating our staff handbook through to advice on managing sickness absence and communicating effectively. Not only do they provide a professional and responsive service, but they took the time to understand our unique and complicated set-up, helping us to operate more effectively in line with our ethos and values.

HR Services Partnership provides excellent advice and strategic support when handling complex staff negotiations. The process is eased as the consultant ensures correct procedure and provides clear and detailed content from the business case to specific communications. They take away the pain from what can be a difficult situation. I will definitely call upon HRSP again as and when required.

HR Services Partnership have been instrumental in supporting the BDA over the past few years in improving our business performance and effectiveness. They have offered a variety of HR, training and strategic advisory services which have enabled us to be more flexible and forward-thinking in challenging times. I have found them to be extremely responsive and helpful, providing innovative ideas and solutions.

The HR Services Partnership very quickly understood the ethos and culture of our organisation and tailored their service and advice accordingly. In my experience of a range of HR service providers, their help in bringing our HR policies and procedures in line with good practice and regulatory requirements has been second to none. In addition and equally important, working with their team has been a pleasure.

HRSP have always provided us with first-rate support. I soon realised how invaluable and what a great investment it is to be able to pick up the phone to discuss tricky issues with an expert in the potential minefield of HR. We are always reassured by the clear solutions that we receive and relieved that, thanks to their excellent guidance, we have updated all our staff contracts and produced our own comprehensive staff handbook.

We have had various times we have needed to call HR Services for help. They have always been incredibly fair and transparent in providing a solution for all parties involved. As an organisation, we have now grown considerably and our next year will see further employees recruited so we will still be looking to HR Services for their valued help. We couldn't be without them!

Unfortunately due to COVID19, Flexible Machining Systems Ltd (FMS) had no choice but to restructure the business in 2020. Many thanks to HRSP for your support during our restructuring process. The planning and execution of the project would have not been conducted as effectively if Sharon from HRSP had not been involved. Sharon’s support and performance were certainly worth every penny. FMS is now continuing to work closely with HRSP on a revised business strategy and team dynamics.
