What Clients Say
Your organisation is unique.
Our clients get great results because we take care to understand them – no other organisation employs your people, to do what you do, the way that you do it. This is what they’ve told us about our HR Services and Employee Surveys:
“Michelle’s knowledge is exceptional. She has a grasp of detail and a deep level of understanding in all that she does, that translates in the quality of her work, how she handles clients and in facilitating groups of people and for example, responding to questions. Michelle is always able to find a way to help others understand, and find pragmatic solutions that really work and make a difference. Michelle’s energy makes her a joy to work with. She is fun, creative, challenging yet supportive and holds others to account. She doesn’t shy away from challenges, and encourages those around her to think beyond the obvious and strive for better results or outcomes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle to others, and relish the opportunity to work with her.
Sian Perham
“Michelle has looked after Castle Windows HR for a number of years and we have benefited immensely from her experience and guidance. I strongly recommend Michelle and People Essentials to any other employer who needs HR help and support.
JK, Director
“I can honestly say that working with People Essentials has been a pivotal point in our journey… We were quite nervous about receiving the survey results but the way Michelle and David presented them was refreshing. They facilitated a discussion that addressed difficult issues, highlighted our strengths and the progress we had made and provided insight and ideas for moving forward. It was a really positive and energising meeting.
Chief Executive, Roadways
“It is wonderful as an HR consultant working with small businesses to be able to offer such an easy to use, value for money like this to my clients. It has enhanced my business offering and is a good way to introduce HR practices into new companies without any existing HR support.
Independent HR Consultant
“Michelle has a very practical and pragmatic view on problem solving. Always very approachable and available to advise on a range of issues she has made our decision making easier and smoothed out any concerns and uncertainty. We really appreciate her professional support.
NE, Owner
“I would like to thank you for all your help, advice and guidance. You did a thoroughly professional job and were absolutely spot on with your appraisal of the legal position and the advice you gave us. Once again many thanks.
KB, General Manager
“We use People Essentials to identify our strengths and find ways to improve. They have worked with us to create a bespoke survey and rolled it out in 6 different languages across our 29 different global locations. People Essentials expert advice and support enabled us to achieve a fantastic 90% response. We have been delighted with the personal service they have given – professional and very responsive – we have enjoyed working with them and look forward to working with them again.
Lorraine Matthews
“No employer should be without effective HR support. From my own personal experience if I had not had Michelle’s help I would have found myself in a financially difficult situation. I recommend contacting Michelle and People Essentials for all HR matters. Thanks Michelle and all the team!
CB, Owner
“What made the course so unique and valuable for me was Michelle sharing her experience of what works in selling, designing and delivering surveys, plus interpreting and feeding back the results. Using Michelle’s survey tool will help me attract new clients and used with existing clients to plan workload and avoid the peaks and troughs of Consultancy work. Thank you, Michelle!
Heather Mills, Duck Soup HR
“We asked People Essentials to support us with running an employee engagement survey and found the level of service at all stages of the project outstanding. Michelle really listened to our brief and worked with us to ensure we developed questions that would drive real insight into employee engagement levels across the business. The amount of time and effort Michelle invested ahead of the survey launch meant that we had total confidence the survey would be well received and this was reflected in our response levels. Michelle delivered the survey results in an easy to understand format and gave suggestions about key areas to focus on as well as insights into how to benchmark the results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend People Essentials as a specialist engagement survey provider.”
Helen Hall
“Using People Essentials Survey helped my client understand the importance of the Manager Employee relationship to their business and develop an action plan that focuses on this as a priority. I recommend this product to all my clients so they can get an honest and more picture of what it’s like to work in their organisation rather than just relying on what they think.
Independent Consultant
“Thank you so much for your help. As always you are approachable, knowledgeable and provide a very professional service. Really appreciate your support!
JO, Owner
“We approached Michelle for HR support some years ago and continue to seek her advice which is consistently timely, efficient and invariably helpful, across a wide range of HR matters.
Chief Executive
“Michelle worked very collaboratively to ensure our survey met our needs. She provided a high-quality feedback report and then facilitated a really constructive session for our leadership team, delivering the key messages with a focus on what we could do differently to improve. Michelle then designed and delivered a great session for all staff, enabling the team to be the driving force to improve organisational culture.
