Testimonials Page
Leading Essex based accountants Carlton Baker Clarke are
a great believer in taking all necessary professional advice
when dealing with HR issues and are clients of The HR Dept.
Senior partner Gary White said, "As an employer with
over 40 staff it is essential that we are up to the minute
in terms of all areas of HR with regard to employment legislation
and practice. Our staff in a service industry such as ours
are our only real asset and it is therefore one which we must
handle with all necessary care and caution. We are delighted
to be able to use The HR Dept to manage this asset to ensure
we get best value for money and to ensure we meet all our
obligations as an employer in a market where competition for
quality staff is intense. So much of our work is based on
utilising time in the most cost effective way for our clients.
We know we can rest assure that all HR areas are being dealt
with so we can get on with managing our business and assisting
clients in developing theirs. We also look to recommend to
our clients that they use the services of the HR Dept also.
“It's a false economy not to".

Linda from the HR Department was recommended to us over a
year ago through a mutual acquaintance, to ensure that we
were dealing with Health & Safety correctly. She then
organised us on the HR side by up-dating all our contracts
of employment. Since then she has kept us up to date with
any new policy issues – all for a minimal cost per month.
She has really been worth her weight in gold over the past
few months as sadly, being an independent estate agents, we
have had to make some redundancies, which has been a really
difficult time for us but Linda has helped us throughout each
process ensuring that we follow the correct procedure whilst
being aware that we need to continue to run a successful business.
We would not think twice about recommending Linda to any
small/medium size business who wants to deal with staff and
health & safety issues correctly. In a time where employees
and clients alike are more likely than ever to go legal over
any matter, having someone to deal with things quickly and
efficiently is a real comfort.

Basildon Women’s Aid has used the competent services
of Linda Percival and HR Dept for two years now and I have
been very impressed with the instant advice, reassurance and
answers to our endless questions with good humour.
The service we have received from the initial overview of
our contracts, procedures and staff handbook to a recent restructuring
of the organisation with adoption of a competency based job
description has been first class.
As a registered charity our Trustees rely on the excellent
advice of Linda to ensure adherence to current legislation
and that we operate in a fair and correct manner. With the
HR Dept and Linda I have never felt that we are alone with
any problems or queries concerning our workforce.

'I have worked with Linda for the past two years and she has
always been extremely helpful and supportive. I have found
her to be a reliable source of information which is essential
for a small business when trying to keep up to date with current

you sign up straight away.
