We've been working with BeyondHR in Mediation Northern Ireland for the past six months. I highly recommend their services in regards to HR issues around staff Handbooks, policies and procedures, health and safety and general HR guidance.

MAC Recruit Group were referred to Natalie and Beyond HR, to help with our initial set up and growth of the business. We received a fanstastic level or service where no questions was too small and all queries were answered in a very timely manner.
I have no hesitation to referring Natalie to other business owners and we will continue to use the service for many years to come.

As a start up business, we required help and support to ensure both our business and staff were protected when it came to policies and procedures. We decided to speak with Natalie to find out what we required as a business. From initial telephone conversation, to face to face meeting – Natalie has been amazing. Value for money is brilliant and always knowing Natalie is at the end of the phone for any urgent questions is great for peace of mind. This allows us to free up the time to concentrate on our business. Since engaging Natalie over a year ago, we have recommended Natalie to a number of Clients, friends and family – all have businesses that employ various numbers of staff. She is an asset to any business small or large and her knowledge is second to none.

Fabrication Specialists Limited required a company who could keep us up to date with employment law and compliant with the requirements of employee contracts etc.
We are delighted with the help and professionalism of Beyond HR, in particular Natalie who is always on the end of the phone when we need her.
In these uncertain times dealing with Covid19 issues, BeyondHR have guided us through the requirements of furlough step by step making the whole process much easier to deal with.
I would not hesitate to recommend BeyondHR to any company seeking this type of service.
