Gerry and the team at HR Now continue to support our business as we grow. The HR Now team take the time to really get to know, not only their candidates, but our business and colleagues too, which allows them to place suitable and successful candidates with us time and time again.
Managing a small and dynamic team can be surprisingly complicated. Having regular input and specialist advice from Becky makes all the difference in ensuring we follow best practice, comply fully with the law and enhance team morale whilst allowing me to focus on the core business of fulfilling our contracts. She is professional, honest, friendly and supportive.
We have a young management team at Enhance, so coaching is important for all our Line Managers to become well informed on HR legislation and best practices so that they can get the best out of our people whilst creating a modern, compliant and ultimately happy company culture. Over two sessions Becky and Alicia provided the team with foundational HR information and useful management frameworks in a clear and comprehensible way that is already having a positive impact on our business.
Our new documentation has provided peace of mind that our policies and procedures are up-to-date and legally compliant
