Employing apple hr has brought a new lease of life to our business. Having put off the decision to outsource for too long, I now wish we had actioned years ago. Kate's high quality people skills and discretion have created a calmness and confidence amongst staff that they have somewhere to turn when they need someone independent to listen and advise.
I have worked with apple hr for over a year now and my main contact is Janet Schofield. I have found apple to be responsive and reliable at all times and they have given me a lot of support in dealing with a variety of challenges. Janet in particular has been a great support to me, her approach is supportive and caring, and this is why I chose apple over other providers.
