Getting the People Side of Business Right

Whether you're employing your first few people, managing an established team or the business is going through a period of change, getting the people side right matters.

There are everyday responsibilities and compliance to stay on top of, difficult situations to handle and decisions to make that affect both the business and the people working in it.

At People Pillar, we help you work through those challenges with practical advice, experienced support and a clear understanding of what needs to happen next.

We know that great HR is about more than just knowing the rules. It's about taking the time to listen, understanding different perspectives and building genuine relationships based on trust.

We take what we do seriously, but we're approachable and human at the same time.

We approached People Pillar initially to assist us with our HR requirements and they have exceeded my expectations. Not only do they manage our HR process, People Pillar have also assisted in updating our existing policies and undertook a GAP analysis to ensure we have everything we required going forward. The knowledge and experience from Julia and her team is excellent and they are always there to assist and provide us with the relevant support to our growing business.

I've worked with Julia as Canterbury's Chief Executive since 2006. Having been a HR head of service earlier in my career I know a good HR expert when I see one, and Julia fits the bill. She combines knowledge and experience of really tricky issues with a pragmatic approach that positively helps managers get through their HR problems. She has a reassuring manner that instills confidence. I'm very happy to recommend her.

In an ever changing world. Being an expert in everything is impossible. So outsource to experts who ensure all current legislation is observed and best practice followed. I have found Julia and her team to be just that. Experts in HR that you can build a relationship with and trust their advice.

Julia was on hand to support me in a situation that arose out of normal hours and did not hesitate to give me all the advice and tools I needed to manage the situation appropriately. I was so pleased with her handling of this situation I have decided that I need Julia and her support on a more regular basis and I look forward to working with her in the future.
