5* for Laura and team

At WCS Agency, it's absolutely essential for us to have a seamless HR system in place. From the outset, Laura at HR Partner proved to be a godsend. Her 'HR-in-a-box' solution was elegantly tailored to our specific needs, removing the complexities of human resources and allowing us to concentrate on our core services.

Laura's expertise is clear in every interaction. From onboarding to performance management, every process has been streamlined, efficient, and intuitive. Her professionalism, dedication, and prompt responses have not only saved us countless hours but have also heightened our team's overall morale and productivity.

Moreover, in an industry that thrives on creativity and collaboration, Laura's approach ensures that our team feels valued, heard, and supported. This, in turn, has led to an improved work culture and increased staff retention.

We wholeheartedly recommend Laura at HR Partner for any organisation seeking a comprehensive HR solution. Her dedication to excellence is unparalleled, and her services have become an invaluable asset to our growth and success. Thank you, Laura, for elevating our HR operations!

Great service and support

The team at The HR Dept truly deliver service with a smile and most importantly professionalism. We have been working with them for three years now, and they are always available to support us over the phone or provide guidance on matters to ensure our business is able to do what we do, and our people are looked after.
I would happily recommend them to any business that needs competent, professional HR support.

Redundancy employee assistance

After being made redundant after 13 years with the same company I was a little rusty and niave when it came to job hunting. My co enlisted Katie from the HR Dept to assist first with the redundancy process and then an outsourcing workshop for finding new employment. As you can imagine, this was quite a stressful time however Katie's reassurance, market knowledge, experience and guidance helped me secure 2 job offers within a month on a much higher salary than expected! I genuinely believe I could not have done this so quickly without her help and am so grateful to Katie @ Newbury for her help and assistance. Would definitely recommend her services.

An extension of our team

In a word: Charlie. I honestly don't quite know how I managed to perform my role in Operations - supporting our SME through rapid growth - without Charlie and team at HR Dept. Their positive attitude and aptitude for calm, reliable and expert guidance has proved invaluable. They deliver. We would not be where we are without them!

Very Informative & Helpful, Definitely Recommend

I really enjoyed this workshop- HR is completely new to me and I am learning how to be an HR Advisor 'on the job'. The HR Essentials Workshop was so helpful in introducing me to the key issues in HR and Employment Law, and I found the topics really interesting. Lee and Laura were also excellent and answered any questions I had. I'd definitely recommend it!
