About Us
Simply HR was established in response to the growing need for straightforward and meaningful human resource advice. Navigating the ever-changing complexities of workplace legislation whilst maintaining pace with competitors adds to what can be an already challenging task of managing people. Managers and business leaders need fast and easy access to advice that they can understand and trust. Our clients are typically small to medium sized businesses that do not have the capacity or scale to employ a human resource professional in-house. We find that most of the time that isn’t necessary anyway – once we help you to establish sound systems and processes, a little bit of common sense goes a long way. We are senior human resource professionals with extensive experience across a range of industries including telecommunications, public sector, FMCG, manufacturing and sales. Simply HR can assist your business in maximising the return on your human resources whilst also helping you deal with the challenges that inevitably come when employing people. Having managed businesses ourselves, Simply HR engages with our clients using language that they understand. After all, it is our job to make the complex simple.
