Testimonials
"We turned to Ashfield HR and Faye when we needed some additional HR support as Sneak continued to grow at a rapid pace. Faye carried out a very comprehensive audit of our existing policies and procedures and identified areas for improvement - and what we were already doing well! As a result, we have now decided to work with Faye to continue the evolution of our HR function along with support for some management training."
David Woodmansey, Operations Director, Sneak Energy Ltd.
“Faye has done an outstanding job in helping us develop our performance management process. She quickly understood our challenges and aspirations and was efficient and creative in developing ideas to help us move forward. She continues to be a great sounding board and source of expertise as we rapidly scale our business” Andy Ross, Managing Partner, Gravity9 Solutions Ltd.
"Recently, due to the collapse of the economy, we found ourselves in a position we hadn’t anticipated. The circumstances required us to act quickly and our only option for survival was to propose redundancies. Our employees are very important to us and our first concern was their welfare and to ensure the least stressful redundancy consultation process was undertaken. We were also aware that taking this action could potentially cause other negative social knock-on effects within the business. With the mitigation of these two items foremost on our mind, we were very pleased to be introduced to Faye. It was evident from the onsite that her approach was based on a lot of past experience as Faye was able to quickly create a solid, fair and well organised plan of action. However, the overriding tone of Faye’s approach was respect, compassion and empathy for those affected. The tone was reinforced in all of Faye’s face-to-face consultations with the redundancy candidates as Faye’s personal touch clearly put these people at ease. Faye also advised us on how to effectively communicate with the wider team to ensure that they were aware of the care and consideration that was being taken with respect to their colleagues eliminating any potential internal social friction. Faye is not your average HR professional and we highly recommend her." Matthew Trubow, CEO, Hidden Ltd.
“We worked with Ashfield HR earlier this year to produce employee handbooks and staff contracts. Following an initial meeting to discuss our requirements, Faye created bespoke employee handbooks, new staff contracts, and updated our policy documents and provided additional policies where necessary. The process was really straightforward and Faye was lovely to work with. We would highly recommend Ashfield HR.” - Heather Davis, Office Manager, OMI Architects
"Ashfield HR proved invaluable in helping us to bring in our new CTO. With Faye's help and experience, we were able to define an attractive job role and put it in front of the right people. She then helped us to shortlist, interview, hire and onboard our CTO on time and within budget. I will have no hesitation in seeking their help for our next key hire and cannot recommend them highly enough." Anthony Holmes, Managing Director, Rinicare Ltd
"I recently employed the services of Faye Briffa of Ashfield HR. We had a very serious employee grievance which needed handling sensitively by an external person. From the moment I first spoke with Faye she was calm and objective; just what we needed to handle our tricky situation. Ashfield HR held our hand through the stressful hearing and subsequent appeal and was a sage and sound advisor in what was a chaotic and worrying few months for us. Faye kept calm, objective and supportive, even when things were very challenging, and that was a godsend. We could not have conducted this investigation ourselves. We are so pleased we brought Ashfield HR in to do it for us. We can be confident that the grievance was heard properly, dealt with effectively and legally and that we handled the issue with integrity. I was so impressed I have set up an HR support package with them, should I have any requirements going forward." Debbie Shaw, Managing Director, Broadgate Chiropractic Clinic
