GFHR is an independent HR consultancy based in Tunbridge Wells. We work with a whole range of small and medium sized organisations from a variety of industries based in Southeast England.
GFHR was started by Gemma Farina in 2010. Gemma has been MCIPD chartered since 2006 and completed her CIPD Professional Qualification Scheme in 2003. She also has a degree in Sociology from the University of Leicester and has worked in recruitment, management consultancy, retail and property sectors. She is now supported in the business by a growing team and between us we offer the full range of HR support services.
Putting people first
We put the ‘human’ in Human Resources. After all, HR is about people. And they are the most valuable asset your business has. If you invest in your people, keep them motivated, give them a purpose, that’s when you’ll get the best results. A happy and motivated workforce is a productive and loyal one.
HR is also about balance. When you find that balance, you’ll be able to get results that are both right for you and right for your employees. Establishing and managing good working practices and resolving situations quickly and fairly sets you up to succeed.
That’s where we can help. Our business is built on strong relationships, trust and integrity. We know that honest, open communication will always help you get ahead of a problem and let you be proactive, rather than reactive. Outsourcing your HR function or any part of it lets you focus on your business growth as well as saving you time and money.
You should think of us as you would an in house HR function. We’re flexible, commercially-minded and able to respond quickly, as and when you need us. Depending on your needs, we can support you on a retained, pay-as-you-go or project basis, and can work with you remotely or on-site in your office.
The full HR package
From establishing policies for start-up companies, setting up initial contracts of employment and writing employee handbooks to managing performance and settling grievances, we can help you all the way. We’re not afraid of dealing with the difficult subjects either. Business requires tough decisions to be made and we pride ourselves on helping companies deal with tough issues in a sensitive and fair way.
We love what we do. We value people throughout a business, always striving for equity and fairness. We know that investing in your people will put foundations in place for your company’s success.
If you think we can help your business, we’d love to hear from you. Every new relationship starts with a conversation, so please get in touch.
