Frequently Asked Questions

I have talked to many consultants - they act like they know the answers before they even understand my business - and their solutions are always grandiose and expensive - especially for a small business owner. What can I do to get a realistic and cost effective solution?
Few Human Resources consultants have had significant experience as a manager and even less as a business executive. Because I have run a significant business unit for a fortune 50 company, and sat at the boardroom table, I know how easy it is to spend huge sums on HR ‘initiatives’ only to discover after the fact that they have not produced a reasonable return on investment. My measures of success are simple- did we make a positive contribution to your bottom line? Our approach proves the value of your investment.

I’m a small business - I can’t afford a consultant.
In those case where you need a senior person with significant experience to supplement your in house expertise (or lack thereof), a consultant is likely the most cost effective solution. We will work with you to determine the problem (or opportunity) then execute a plan, review the results with you, then leave you until you need us again.

Theories and textbooks are great - but I want results now!

We will determine your needs carefully, advertise in the right places, screen applicants and present you with a short list.

I have a significant process reengineering and company restructuring to do. Can you help?

I need to lay some employees off - I feel bad about it and don’t know where to turn to soften the blow - these people deserve a positive and respectful transition. What do I do?

From ensuring that important legal requirements and labour standards are upheld, to managing the notifications, and helping your employees to find alternative work- we can help you every step of the way.
