The HR Dept Reviews 

Found working with Debbie easy and a pleasure. Professional and a good listener, providing excellent HR advice.

Would definitely recommend.

I can highly recommend The HR Dept, and in particular Alison and Helen, having worked together for a year. Their expertise and support, navigating through any HR queries has been invaluable as a business owner with a team. Their professional support and guidance reassured me I was approaching and managing HR queries correctly at all times. The team are experts in their field and a joy to work with. Alison always provided immediate support for any urgent queries and has helped me with a wide range of HR queries for my business.

Nick, Fern and the team in Dorset are superb. They are always at the end of the phone and make sure we stay compliant with the constantly changing world of HR. Any advice that we need is always given quickly and clearly. We receive regular emails updating us on the various changes that are happening in HR which are vital when running a business. An all round excellent service.

Helen and the team at the HR Dept have been fantastic for my small business. Always there to provide up to date, practical and sensible advice on any HR matters. They listen to your business needs and are very responsive. This means I can focus on growing my business knowing I have the HR Dept to rely on. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for HR support, HR Dept Newbury is the company to use. HR situations can be incredibly sensitive and uncomfortable. But the team made the whole experience so easy. No question was silly to them. I also needed urgent help before a meeting and they were available straight away. I would highly recommend!

We have been with HR Dept Dorset for a number of years and have always found Nick to be not just extremely knowledgeable but very supportive. He and his team have always responded very quickly to any issues we've had. Nick inevitably rings back in response to my emails to talk through various scenario's. Knowing that such expert back up is on call, is very comforting. I would not hesitate in recommending HR Dept Dorset to any employer.

The HR Dept in Dorset are a fabulous company. Nick and his team are always on hand when you need professional advice and support. Thoroughly recommend them.

I have been with HR Dept Exeter for 12 months and found the team to be excellent. They are very supportive, helpful and clear with their advice, with every team member giving consistent advice. The contract is annual (not 5-yearly like many others) and their response time is always within 24 hours.

We have returned to working with HR Dept Solent following a period with another HR provider. We prefer the 'hands on' approach rather than virtual assistance. The team are always very supportive, responsive and professional. It has been a pleasure to re-engage with them. As an SME their dedicated guidance and support is invaluable.

In mid 2023 I sign a contract for the PMA Media group for a head of operations role.

The HR Dept was the HR department for the company.

I started my 3 months notice and 3 days before I suppose to join this company. I chased them as I wonder why my laptop was never sent to me.

I got a reply that due to unforeseen circumstances they had to withdraw the offer even though it was signed months ago. It turns out the company they was supporting was under investigation by the FCA and the CEO was arrested.

This part is not the HR Dept fault. But they didn't even bother to call me just an email. Hence the one star.

Also the email I got was a weeks pay "as a gesture of goodwill" however it was an actual legal requirement.

It is disgusting they should of given me 1 months pay as I lost my job through this and I am still suffering financial from this ordeal to this day.

Not calling me was also a cowardly act - I am still suffering so bad from this - I think its fair to write a review.

1 MONTH Compensation should of been given - not the minimum so heartless and I trusted the interview process.

AVOID as it could ruin your life too.

All the team fro HR have been brilliant. they have been very patient and understanding throughout the contract set upset.

Working with the HR Dept Newbury has been great! They are always very supportive, responsive and professional, and have been key in the creation and development of our HR activities. It has been a pleasure working with them, and throughout the years, as we grow, we have confirmed the need, and value, to have their dedicated guidance and support.

I was awarded a contract for plumbing maintenance but was required to have a construction phase plan/rams and coshh assement in place.I contacted the HS Dept and I spoke to someone who got all this sorted out for me with no problems and within the time limit that i needed it for. great service

great advice
Easy to get hold of
Understand our business

I have used HR dept for over a year, as we grow the company. They have been invaluable in offering greta advice. It has always been easy to get hold of them. Great value for money. I have recommended them to other start ups.

A brilliant company my wife worked for the HR Dept and suddenly passed away, the people within the company both directors and colleagues were so kind to my family and it will never be forgotten by us. I’d highly recommend them to use as a HR company and to work for.

Katie and her team provided us with the guidance, advice and support we needed to deal with a delicate employment matter. They are very knowledgeable and approachable.

We are delighted that we chose to work with Sanhya Iyer from the HR Dept. She has supported us in conducting a full review of our employment contracts and employee handbook and conducting our contract consultation which has given us peace of mind that we are on the right side of employment law.

Sandhya is always professional and on hand to provide ad hoc advice in a timely manner which has been invaluable for our business as we have grown and taken on new staff.

We would not hesitate to recommend Sandhya to any business that does not have its own HR Department. Thank you for your ongoing help and support!

Thoroughly recommend working with Belinda and team. Great depth of knowledge and quick response times - we now feel confident with our HR obligations and managing any issues that arise. A perfect resource for any size businesses that doesn't require internal HR or need an external support system. The friendly and welcoming team make running a business fun!

Absolutely Brilliant!
The HR Depart are very helpful and understanding. I have received support and guidance about a number of HR issues which has been incredibly helpful to get impartial and professional advice, in such a quick and efficient manner. Keep up the good work!
