The Personnel Dept has been a huge help to us. They have eliminated a layer of paperwork that we were wasting time and effort on. They have also steered us through the maze of employment regulation. It's not wothwhile for a small business to try to do this themselves.

We regularly use The Personnel Dept for queries on employment law and other HR projects. We have found them to be extremely helpful and cost effective: it is a great advantage that they are based locally in Lincoln and are independent. We have established a strong working relationship, built on trust. They understand how we operate and tailor all our requirements to our 'house style'. I have no hesitation in referring our clients to The Personnel Dept.

We wanted to ensure we were doing the right things regarding our employment practices etc and the sound advice and support we receive from The Personnel Dept has been very useful. We prefer the personal touch and it's ideal having someone to bounce things off: it gives us confidence and helps us consider approaching certain issues in a different way. Falling foul of employment law is too risky nowadays - it's a massive grey area and constantly changing so I'm pleased we have this external support on tap when we need it to assist us with our people/employment issues.

So far we have used The Personnel Dept on an outsourcing basis to review and update our staff handbook. It was a benefit having an independent third party undertake this exercise on our behalf since, as well as updating the content to ensure things were legally compliant it was very useful to get a fresh perspective on our rules, policies and practices - that proved to add real value to the process. the speed with which we have brought this particular project to completion has been very impressive. The approach taken was professional and always flexible to our requirements. We have been very pleased with this outsourcing exercise and will certainly look to use The Personnel Dept again in the future.

It is such a relief to find somewhere that I can get swift, comprehensive advice about personnel issues within my company. I do not always want to use my solicitor for all matters, but it is obviously vital to comply with the latest legislation and to get an expert opinion. The Personnel Dept has helped us with various staff issues, providing a quick reaction to our questions and giving us clear guidance to help us with our processes. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other business owners. I am delighted to be working with The Personnel Dept.

The Personnel Dept has worked with us while we have grown our business for several years now, assisting us in contractual matters, disciplinary issues and helping us get the best out of our people. I must say that to have this level of expertise at our disposal for a such a relatively low ongoing cost is one of the best start up decisions we made, and has made a notable contribution to the continuing success of our business. Neil and his team should be an indispensible part of any business that opts to not have its own internal HR facility, and perhaps even those that do!

We have worked with the Personnel Dept for over three years and during that time they have supported our business as though they were part of our business. The Personnel Dept handle all of our personnel matters, from developing contracts to advising on staff problems, they have recently worked through a re-location redundancy situation with us and have been amazing - always there to answer questions and resolve issues, nothing, however simple, is too much trouble. Our company ethos is one of working with our Clients and not for them and I am so glad to say that the Personnel Dept have exactly the same ethos, hence I am proud to say that they are” Our Personnel Dept”. Thank you Neil for you constant support and wise advise.
