What our customers say
We engaged Charlotte at People Wise when our business was growing rapidly and we realised we needed stronger HR systems and processes to support that growth. Charlotte started by carrying out an HR audit, which gave us a clear understanding of where we were and what we needed to prioritise. From there, she partnered with us over the next couple of years to develop and implement HR processes across the entire employee lifecycle. This included creating our People Strategy, improving position descriptions, implementing a performance review process, strengthening our recruitment process, and developing our induction, employee engagement and exit processes. The work Charlotte has done has given us robust HR frameworks and documentation that have been invaluable as we've continued to grow. She takes the time to understand our business, provides practical, sound advice and is professional and approachable. We continue to value her support and would highly recommend People Wise to any business looking for an experienced and trusted HR partner.
