We have been partnering with the HR Suite for a number of years and have been extremely satisfied with this relationship. When we have needed advice it has been given in a timely and efficient manner and always reflects best HR practice. The team are very knowledgeable and also have very high standards in report writing and documentation. While we have wonderful colleagues at work there is an immense comfort knowing that we have an extra pair of hands at the end of the phone when we need it.
