Bespoke HR Solutions

     

 Just had my first meeting with Claire and am very impressed. Claire is knowledgeable, friendly and puts you at ease. All the information provided is relevant and current. I have no doubt Woodcote HR will be an asset in assisting our new business grow.

 Claire is an extremely competent and professional HR Consultant and business lady. Occasionally we all meet situations that we are not confident in handling. If it is a staffing issue then I would recommend Claire very highly. I had a member of staff who consistently under performed and seemed impervious to any advice to help him raise his performance to a satisfactory level, indeed he was costing the business money. I had to make sure the matter was dealt with properly, legally and with humanity. Claire's advice and even presence to chair a meeting was timely and extremely professional. The matter was sorted out as swiftly as possible and the business moved on successfully as a result. Thank you Claire.

 Claire helped me to create a contract for a new apprentice starting with us which enabled me to make sure I am up to date with all my legal requirements. Claire is a world of knowledge and highlighted other areas she could help with and that I probably will need help with to ensure we are doing everything we should be! Cannot recommend Claire enough and will be recommending her services to fellow business owners.

 Claire is a great HR Consultant and has added so much to my company; from helping out with my new starters to any issues with my own career. She’s extremely knowledgeable and approachable; using non jargon language and adapts to every situation. I had an issue with a member of staff (which could have resulted in instant dismissal) but Claire advised me to set up a meeting and an action plan of what was both fair for both employer and employee. No matter how big or small your business is, we all need to know our rights and ensure we are staying within the correct laws and regulations. I would recommend Claire to everyone.

 We were in need of a contract of employment and HR policies for our staff and saw that WoodcoteHR were offering an HR Fundamentals pack which was perfect for what we need at this stage of our business. Claire scheduled a Teams call with us and on the call she ran through the contract of employment and HR policies so we could understand our responsibilities as an employer. Claire made sure our documents suited what we need and ensured they were compliant. Claire answered all our questions along the way and provided us with our bespoke documents very quickly. I cannot recommend WoodcoteHR enough and would definitely use them again for any people issues.

 Absolutely amazing! I came to Woodcote after a small message I received and I can't believe how brilliant she's been. I'm due to take over a new business within a week and was unsure on the staff etc. She's talked me through every stage, and has helped me with things I didn't even know. I highly recommend you use Woodcote HR, there are no better around. Thanks for all of your help!

 We brought Claire McIntosh on board as an independent consultant to support us with completing the implementation phase for our new HR System. Claire was recommended to us by the software provider as she had worked with them previously for another client. Claire’s knowledge of the system was at the level of ‘expert’ and she was able to competently develop the modules we needed, discussing the brief with us and then taking our requirements away and applying them to the system. She supported us with the talent management, case management, onboarding and notifications modules. Claire confidently undertook the development work, adding value by advising us on best use of the system and then also testing the modules to ensure they worked as we expected and were fit for purpose. With Claire’s support we were able to meet our project completion deadline, amend our approach to ensure best use and alleviate some of the pressure on our HR team who were managing the project implementation alongside their busy HR roles. As well as being very lovely to deal with, Claire was extremely knowledgeable, solution focussed, proactive and professional throughout. She has a modern approach to working life and works flexibly and remotely, whilst always keeping in touch and ensuring the project keeps moving forward. Without Claire’s involvement, we may not have achieved all that we have with this implementation, and she certainly made the process less stressful for us all.
