"HRBS has provided HR assistance to our firm for over five years.  Most recently, they steered our management team through a comprehensive leadership coaching program.  HRBS invested time in gaining a thorough understanding of our needs from the outset, and designed a program that met these specific needs, including leadership assessment, group workshops and individual coaching sessions.  We saw immediate benefits from the program and feel it has made a major contribution toward building our leadership capital."

Michael McVeigh, Managing Director, McVeigh Consultants

 

 

"I have just completed my coaching journey with HRBS. My coach Kelly has heaps of energy and excellent insight into people.   I ended up with some great material to work with from our sessions, which is already working well for me. I have also received positive feedback from my peers as a result, and I look forward to further coaching sessions with HRBS in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend HRBS to any manager looking for assistance with professional development."

Mark Piorkowski, Manager Environment & Planning, Local Government Association of Queensland 

 

 

 

“THANK YOU for your timely and confident advice.  I am absolutely sure that I wouldn’t have executed the task as smoothly as I did without your expert guidance. Tina you really are a wonderful voice on the other end of the phone”

Kelly Baker, Managing Director, Edible Blooms

 

 

"Kelly was fantastic. As a speaker myself I am often let down by others who are boring and not prepared or relevant.  Kelly was none of these things.  She represented your company well, was knowledgeable and entertaining. We all felt her presentation was one of our highlights of the conference.  Can't give you enough good feedback. "

Fleur Madden-Topley, Managing Director, Red PR

 

 

 

"I would just like to thank you for the wonderful workshop that you delivered yesterday.  The style, pace, content and expert advice was exactly what the team needed as a lead into our strategy preparation.  Thank you again for your efforts in bringing the team together to reflect and put a few things into context. As always it was great working with you both, and I am looking forward to the next opportunity. "

Angela Egan, Human Resources Manager, Mondial Assistance

 

 

 

 

"We have had the pleasure of working with HRBS for some time now. The thing that sets them apart from other HR consultancies is their flexible and practical approach. We have been impressed that each of the HRBS consultants that we work with has taken the time to understand and get to know our business first hand. This, we believe, has enabled them to deliver high quality practical solutions that work for our business and consider HRBS to be an extension of our in-house HR Team. We at Cement Australia carefully consider who we partner with and we have not been disappointed with our choice in HRBS."

Sonia Pitt, Group Operations HR Manager People and Performance, Cement Australia

 

 

 

 

 

"Tina Radford has a unique ability to communicate, especially in difficult or sensitive areas, in a way that is motivational and confidence building. Her knowledge is all embracing across a number of disciplines which gives her the flexibility to work in a variety of industries, professions and businesses at any level she deems appropriate. Her commitment to a successful outcome is astounding."

Rhonda White, Executive Director, White Retail Group

 

 

 

 

“After meeting Tina based on a recommendation I was very impressed with her energetic and professional approach to delivering business solutions. Initially assisting Bretts Wharf with the successful implementation of a new EBA we have since engaged HR Business Solutions to author and document a new integrated bonus scheme and more recently to undertake strategic implementation planning in our sales and marketing department. I would strongly recommend HR Business Solutions to any company looking to achieve simple, clear and measurable outcomes for their business.”

Genny Nielson , Co-owner, Bretts Wharf Restaurant + Functions + Catering

 

 

 

 

"HR Business Solutions have been an integral part of helping grow our business and plan for the future. The tools, processes and thinking they apply are effective and enlightening. We feel that HRBS are an important part of our team ensuring we reach our potential and manage the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead"

Simon Lockyer, CEO, Youngcare

 

 

 

 

 

 

"The true benefit of HR Business Solutions' company style and advice is that they not only understand employment law and government legislation but they understand and respect the pressures of business. As a result their advice is always balanced in respecting the positions of both employers and employees."

Matthew Lawson, Chief Financial Officer/Director, Cutting Edge

 

 

 

 

 

"The HR Business Solutions workshop I attended was presented in a relaxed and professional environment. It not only gave me the opportunity to learn new skills and acquire new knowledge, but it allowed me the opportunity to interact and discuss ideas with a wide range of professionals from a variety of diverse sectors and organisations. The training provided me with practical and informative tools that were easy to implement. Tina and the team at HRBS are so knowledgeable, professional and friendly, always making them a pleasure to deal with."

Alana Armstrong, Human Resources, Open Minds

 

 

 

 

"I met Tina Radford at just the right time! I had been thinking for some time that I needed to update my employment contracts and HR policies, so when I met Tina, I knew she could help me. While HRBS was in the process of updating all of my employment contracts, developing a KPI bonus scheme which I had been trying to get my head around for almost two years, and developing an employee handbook (which was long overdue), I was relieved to have access to their “HR Hotline” when a relationship with a new staff member deteriorated almost overnight.

I was interstate with several major events happening simultaneously, and I just did not have the time or the headspace to adequately deal with this. I was able to hand all correspondence and background info over to Tina and her team for them to handle – meaning that what could have turned into an ugly situation was managed in a professional, caring, and efficient way, with minimal fuss.

HRBS is an invaluable service for businesses like mine which are too small to have an HR professional on staff. With so many other things to think about in business, and with constantly changing legislation with regard to employee entitlements and industrial relations, it is comforting to know that I can make sure that I’m doing the right thing by my staff, but also be sure of what my rights are with regard to employment."

Jodie Parker, Managing Director, Iceberg Events

 

 

 

 

 

“The funny thing about testimonials is that you never can truly tell how credible and honest they really are. Have they been written by friends? Were only ‘nice’ people asked to write them? Well probably yes and yes. With that said, I can sincerely tell you that what I am about to write is authentically truthful. If you’d like to challenge or ask questions about any of this testimonial then call me directly on 0413 616 186. Ok, the reality of the situation is that I was cynical and never deeply thought that human resources could play an integral role in my business. After all, as the CEO no one knows my people better than me, right? Wrong. HRBS managed to uncover and identify some deep-seeded issues, challenges and opportunities by asking the right questions. My staff appreciated the chance to impartially engage human resources, and have their voices heard. I appreciated HRBS’ constructive approach to the whole process. They took the time to understand my business which meant they acted more like a partner than a supplier. They offered practical and beneficial outcomes that helped me on my journey of elevating my business to a new level of performance."

Cos Luccitti, CEO, De pasquale

 

 

 

 

HR Business Solutions truly took the time to get to know our business. We feel this is a critical step in any business arrangement to ensure our expectations are delivered upon. This is definitely true of HR Business Solutions. The HRBS time management training sessions have been a hit with our staff who are now working more efficiently and using these new techniques on a daily basis.

Judy Graham, HR Manager, DKM Group

 

 

 

HR Business Solutions worked with us to conduct a HR Audit that included a gap analysis between what practices, policies and procedures we currently have in place and how these compare to best practice standards. The audit itself was a great tool in identifying potential improvements that could be made and in many instances was an opportunity to have a fresh perspective, as more often than not when you are working with things day in and day out, you don't always have the insight that an external consultant can provide. Furthermore, in addition to receiving a report with the audit findings, the general information and tips that were provided by the consultant who undertook the audit, were invaluable. Overall, the process was extremely positive and provided an opportunity for development and improvement from both a personal and organisational perspective.

Mikki Richardson, HR Officer, Railways Credit Union
