What our clients say…
In small business we know that word of mouth is one of the most powerful tools we have. We pride ourselves in our work and above all, the relationships we have with our clients. But don’t just take our word for it, please have a read, and hear what our clients have to say about us.
Rise HR has become an extension of our team. Their understanding of our organisation, culture and recruitment needs means the process is always seamless, efficient and professionally managed. Alice represents our organisation exceptionally well and consistently helps us identify candidates who are the right fit for both the role and our team. Alice’s support makes a real difference – when it comes to recruitment, it feels like we have a trusted partner sharing the challenge, rather than handling it alone.
Rise HR have been an invaluable HR resource to Lister Communications for around 10 years now, they have always felt like part of our management team as they understand our business and staff. Rise take care of every single detail and simple to understand advice, which allows us to concentrate on running the business.
I have found Georgina Read to be personable, kind and understanding in helping us through some challenging times within our family business with a relatively small workforce. I know that within Agriculture using an HR company is not the norm but I have learnt an enormous amount and put procedures in place that will ultimately protect us and our employees for the future.
Being a company director can be a lonely place in tough times so being able to make important decisions after an informed conversation can really make all the difference to a positive or negative outcome. I have to say I could not of got to where we are today without being able to pick up the phone and receive the HR support and advice of the team.
Rise HR have a great understanding of our business model, our staff and the sector and they provide commercially focused advice that both protects our business and staff but also doesn’t hinder how we operate. I would certainly recommend them to any business looking for HR advice.
Rise HR are discrete, professional and always available at short notice to provide pragmatic and actionable advice to both individual employees and the management team. What we really like about Rise is their appreciation of our company culture and how they tailor their approach to meet our particular needs.
We experienced a scenario where two highly valued, passionate employees were in conflict. Rise HR’s work with us to identify the root cause through a one day mediation process has seen remarkable results, resolving a complex conflict which in turn has vastly improved the working relationships and prevented significant loss of human capital.
Sarah has been completely instrumental to the growth, stability, success and happiness of our small Swindon-based team for many years. Sarah has all the HR knowledge you would expect and is unfailingly professional, expert and unflappable in all situations; she is also able to call on colleagues and specialists in the Rise group where needed.
It is a fantastic service, very responsive and better than I had hoped for from an HR consultancy. We definitely made the right decision!
We brought in Rise HR to deliver a series of remote training sessions to help address bullying and harassment in the workplace. This is a difficult issue, particularly after the transition to predominantly WFH environment. Rise HR’s handling and delivery of these sessions was fantastic and they engaged well with staff, leading to lots of suggestions for change and improvement. This has led to a noticeable improvement in relevant scores on the annual staff satisfaction survey – we look forward to working with Rise HR again in the future.
When we had a specific query regarding a new type of employment contract, we reached out to Rise HR who were quick to respond and help us. We received support from Kirsty who speedily reviewed and updated our contracts, giving us confidence that what we had was fit for purpose (and legal!). The cost was extremely reasonable and we will definitely reach out to Rise again.
