I have worked with Gemma for a number of years and she has supported my business through tremendous change. Our service and growth is heavily dependent upon the team that we have so getting the right HR provision is imperative. Gemma has assisted with issues as they happen but also helped us to put in place systems to ensure that HR does not become a burden on my business. The latest advance has been the implementation of BreatheHR which has further reduced the amount of time I must invest in HR administration. It means that Gemma and myself have access to up to date information without having to rely on emails and sending documents to each other.
