Case Studies

HR Initiatives Limited has an extensive client base across all industries and market sectors, including manufacturing, constructions, charities, education, graphic design, telecoms, business centres to name but a few.

Quanta

Quanta have worked with Emma Williams and her team at HRI since 2001. At that time, though Quanta were a much smaller company, they needed to be aware and compliant with all relevant employment laws and regulations. They did not have the resource to have an HR professional on our payroll and so HRI became their external partners for all matters relating to HR.

“Over the past 20 years Quanta have grown significantly and throughout that period HRI have, and still do, support us with our HR issues. Their service has always been professional with advice provided in an uncomplicated and friendly manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of HRI to any company considering the use of outsourced HR advice.”
Stephen Trigg, Founder and Owner, Quanta

Robinson Low Francis LLP

HR Initiatives has been supporting Robinson Low Francis LLP in all forms of HR, including process, procedures, documentation and policies, since 2010 working on a retainer basis.

HR Initiatives were originally given the task to review all paperwork and create professional documentation, to support and strengthen existing procedures. Now consultants visit all the RLF offices on a regular basis, where time is taken to review, update and refresh all policies and documentation where necessary.

We have worked with RLF to help manage their TUPE arrangements. We also lend support with various ad-hoc issues, including the implementation of maternity leave documentation through to the recent implementing of a new appraisal system.

HR initiatives offer ongoing support and ad hoc requests as and when required. Mark Newberry from Robinson Low Francis says: “With HR Initiatives in place we can have as much or as little support as and when we need it. We are pleased with the efficient, professional level of service; they are always quick to respond.”

YMCA North London

HR Initiatives Ltd planned and implemented a successful recruitment campaign for YMCA North London in 2015, recruiting 10 posts for around £17,000.00 (Average cost to recruit £1,700 per job).

HR Initiatives drafted all the adverts, planned the advertising campaign, prepared the candidate application packs, shortlisted applicants, arranged the interviews and handled all the responses through to successful appointment across a range of jobs.

In another example, HR Initiatives Limited were able to save £££’s on successfully recruiting a Project Administrator for a Telecoms company in Cambridge, compared to Agency fees and were able to provide an response handling service on behalf of the client that reflected their business ethos.

SEC Limited, Gee Lawson & Mind Network

HR Initiatives Limited have run successful Employee Satisfaction Surveys for a number of clients in recent years including SEC Limited of Stevenage, Gee Lawson Limited based in Finchley, and Herts Mind Network based in Watford.

HR Initiatives Limited regularly provide Thomas International Profiling to help support recruitment for key posts within client businesses such as Gee Lawson Limited based in Finchley, Falko Limited based in Hatfield and SEC Limited based in Stevenage.

HR Initiatives Limited are delighted to offer the internet based BreatheHR system to their Client base. Several clients have taken up the system and enjoy the benefits of having instant access to staff details whether they are at home or in the office and in particular the flexibility to approve holiday and monitor sickness via the on-line portal.

Really good workshop in a relaxed setting, making everyone approachable and at ease to ask any questions needed. A good pace to the topics and so much experience shown from Emma and Fran, would definitely recommend others wanting to understand HR responsibilities and processes better.

I've been working with HR Initiatives Ltd for nearly 8 years now and have always had a fabulous service. The team have been supportive with helping us to use effective records management software for employees, provide a comprehensive staff handbook that they always happy to tailor to my organisation's needs, and help review policies. Above all, their response times to ad hoc queries and support is excellent. They're always on hand to help me with my HR challenges and support me through tricky processes. Highly recommend.

We first worked with HR Initiatives a few years ago, when our small non-profit was new and we needed help to develop the way we supported our employees through one:ones and annual reviews. HRi’s training and documentation was brilliant and we have implemented a system that works really well for us as a result.We subscribed to HR Initiatives’ service earlier this year too. Our team is growing along with the business, and we could see we needed more proactive support for the line managers in our team in looking after and getting the best out of our employees. We have worked closely with the HRi Team recently on a project that was quite difficult at times and they provided incredible support and excellent advice throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Emma Williams, from HR Initiatives, gave outstanding and useful advice at a business workshop I was facilitating. Her advice helped each of the businesses in different ways - from one which was recruiting, one with IR35 questions and another to furlough & redundancy cost/compliance. All were answered professionally, with absolute surety and in a way which was understandable and immediately applicable. Thank you for your help on behalf of all of the businesses involved.

In recent times we forget to compliment people that we put our trust and faith into with our business so I would like to thank Emma Williams from HR Initiatives for being very helpful with our company with recent HR issues to sort with TUPE. Emma has been so helpful, professional, quick to respond and always on the end of the phone to help with her knowledge to which we are very grateful and having HR Initiatives with Emma working with us is very reassuring i can highly recommend.Tony

We have built a fantastic relationship with the team at HRI over the many years of working together.They respond to queries in an efficient and timely manner. No query is too big or too small and they have a friendly and relaxed approach yet maintaining professional standards at all times.Penny is fantastic at responding as quickly as possible, especially if she is aware there is a time constraint around any given situation and always try’s to make herself available.

I was introduced to HR Initiatives 8 years ago and they revolutionised my business by being able to have a fully functioning HR department for a fraction of the costs of solicitors or employing someone full time.Emma and all her team are knowledgeable, pragmatic and professional. They have guided us through a few uncomfortable issues and I cant praise them enough.
