Help, Advice and Support

I had the privilege of working with Maura at Maryfield Nursing Home. She played a pivotal role in establishing and managing the HR functions within our organization. Her expertise in HR processes and regulations was instrumental in ensuring our compliance, and fostering a positive work environment.
Maura was not only a seasoned professional in HR but also a pleasure to work with. She exhibited a remarkable ability to simplify complex HR matters, making it accessible and tailored for our specific needs. Her approachability and willingness to engage with staff at all levels made her an invaluable resource within our organisation.
Her leadership and guidance in HR matters instilled confidence among the leadership team, ensuring that HR-related concerns were addressed effectively and efficiently.

An analytical review
Through analytical review of your current organisation structure, the HR policies and processes, the aim of the analytical exercise is to understand where you are, what is already in place and working well, and to challenge and support the gaps - or risk exposures in your processes.
We will add value by developing and implementing HR solutions your organisation needs.
At the end of the review
You will walk away with a clear plan of action to implement people policies and structures which will future proof your organisation’s approach. This bespoke plan will be aligned to your business priorities at that time, and will be structured in phases so you can progress at your own pace.
Once you implement any phase, the cost of the analysis will be deducted from your pricing package.
Maura has been absolutely brilliant for my business. As an SME owner, her support has been invaluable, helping me move HR from a constant worry to an area where I now feel confident we are fully protected and compliant.

Maura has been such a great help to our business. She supported us with employee contracts and HR policies, and made everything so much easier to understand. She's really approachable, easy to talk to, and always quick to reply whenever we had a question. You can tell she knows her stuff, but she explains things in a really down-to-earth way. It’s been a pleasure working with her! I’d definitely recommend her to any business looking for HR support.

A new approach
When you can’t afford to get your next selection decision wrong, you need to become more scientific in your approach. This is why Maura doesn't make a recruitment decision without the use of a specific and widely agreed role description and psychometric role profile. These well-informed selection decisions are based on the psychometric profile of the candidate versus the role profile. The psychometric profiles will be based on the key competencies, behaviours and values needed to perform the role to a high standard. With this detailed system, your chances of getting the right person in place is greatly increased. Once you try this approach with Maura’s expert guidance, it’s difficult to go back to the unstructured interview.
Your partner in recruitment
As your partner in recruitment, you get the bonus of having access to your top candidates’ profile, so that you can build on their self-awareness and maximise their future performance.
Given that Ireland is one of Europe’s most highly regulated environments in the area of employment law, it is imperative to take legal advice from the outset to avoid the pitfalls in this area. Maura will guide you through, the principal areas of employment law from recruitment through to retirement, focusing on statute law and decisions of the courts and Workplace Relations Commission.
Some HR advisory companies will only tell you your legal obligations, but many times the full resolution of an issue does not lie solely on complying with legislation. People issues are multifaceted and can have a wide-ranging impact on your business. That is why a thorough and knowledgeable discussion of the situation, outlining legal risks, resulting in a comprehensive solution is part of this package.
