Testimonials

"Around a year ago we decided to look into the company's HR process and management. We decided to act on a recommendation and recruited The People Group to facilitate with employees and management interviews. Their approach to the process was very professional yet relaxed and all employees involved felt very comfortable, being able to be honest and frank during group and one on one discussions.

A report summarizing feedback and recommendations after all of the interviews was received on time, and was presented to us in a constructive and well formatted manner. All points discussed during the meetings had been evaluated and condensed, providing us with an overview written in a way that made sense and gave us clear direction.

The approach taken with the employees was important and required them to buy in to the idea. This was achieved by The People Group having employees that are able to ask the right questions and using the time allotted in a positive and enriching way. The final outcome has given us an insight into the company's relationship with employees and a clear structure on which to focus in the future."

"Sky City has been working with The People Group in the area of psychological assessment. We utilise their services in key roles where a choice between candidates has to be made, or when all of the recruitment information suggests there may be behavioural areas that need to be investigated further. We have found The People Group psychologists to be well informed and accurate in their assessment of our candidates, and they have been able to provide key insights that have affected our recruitment decisions. They have made themselves available at times that are not strictly nine to five to suit my hectic schedule to ensure the recruitment process is not slowed down. We utilise them for both the NZ and Australian roles we are placing, to ensure that we make effective recruitment decisions for the business."

"Augen (NZ) Limited approached the The People Group to assist with the re-working of our internal Employees Performance Growth Measures Guidelines document and processes.

The professional and friendly manner with which The People Group engaged with us enabled the process to move along without any delays. The People Group were able to take our ideas and information and combine those with their many years of experience to deliver the required solution including suggested enhancements.

Augen (NZ) Limited started using the re-worked Employees Performance Growth Measures Guidelines last year in October 2005 and all indications point towards a successful uptake by Augen (NZ) Limited employees to date.

I would definitely recommend using the The People Group again."

Michael Mayer, Operations Manager, Augen (NZ) Limited

"ProVision approached The People Group at very short notice for help with a particular problem on which there was a tight time frame. The People Group responded immediately and guided us through that predicament. Once time was not so critical, they steered us in a professional and cost effect manner to put the correct systems in place.

ProVision is very satisfied with the outcome of the project. Our employees who worked with The People Group were very impressed with the professional and practical nature of the individuals who were helping us."
