At Guildford HR, we have been implementing this system, with great success, into our clients’ companies for the past 2 years. There are various services we can offer you, but the most popular with our clients is for Guildford HR to key in all of your employee data, such as personal data, working patterns, holiday records, sickness details, training certificates with expiry dates where applicable (you can set the system to alert you when these are due to be renewed too), emergency contacts, populating the employees files with contracts and offer letters as well as the company policies and procedures.

We can do this on your company site or virtually, depending on what cloud access you have for the employee files and company documents.

If you are interested in finding out more about what this system can do for you and how Guildford HR can implement it, then please do contact us now.

Guildford HR arranged for Premier Risk Services to review our current H&S compliance. This involved a site visit to our premises to advise us on current practice and produce a plan of recommendation for further improvement as required. A detailed report was produced, explaining key findings in more detail, along with suggested solutions. Having an expert in the field discuss this with you in person and answer your questions, really helps you identify the areas you may need to look a little further into. We would highly recommend Premier Risk Services.

Guildford HR is a Breathe Silver Partner and I have had the pleasure of working with Tracey, Angie and Kath for just over 2 years. By offering Breathe as part of their services, they have been able to support their clients remotely and provide them with pro-active support. They provide such valuable support to SME’s across Surrey, North Hampshire and West Sussex and truly believe in giving SME’s the time back to focus on their people, not paper.

Guildford HR provide us with an ongoing HR consultancy service – they are our “HR Department”. Their knowledge and flexibility allows us to draw on their services when we have anything HR related to deal with. This has helped us shape our company, ensuring staff are treated both fairly and professionally. As a small business such as ours, I would have no hesitation in recommending Guildford HR for all matters regarding HR.

We asked Guildford HR to help update our HR processes and procedures as our company has been growing and we wanted to ensure we had everything in place for our employees. Guildford HR installed BreatheHR which is a cloud-based human resource information system. We are now able to store all of our employee data in this system, including contracts, offer letters, right to work and all training certificates and important information such as emergency contacts too. Employees can book annual leave which automatically links to their line manager for approval and is a great self-serve aspect of the system. Managers are able to make use of the calendar when approving holidays and can ensure that there are still employees around for key dates. We manage our performance reviews through Breathe too. Having all the employee data in one place has been greatly beneficial to our company, replacing the spreadsheet and hard copy filing that we had before. With the system comes document storage enabling us to place all of our company policies and procedures for employees to view. We can even select who or what department can get access to the files. The team at Guildford HR is efficient and very professional. I would definitely recommend them to other businesses looking to place their HR data in one place.

Guildford HR have worked for Eseye since December 2018. At the time we brought them in we were in need of HR help across a very broad set of HR related issues as this had not been a focus of the company previously, due to us being a start-up. Their performance was excellent and extremely influential in our culture change within the company. Specifically, they helped us implement a new overall HR system (BreatheHR), a new outsourced payroll, a new recruitment process and implement our first all employee evaluation process and company-wide pay review. These changes have been fundamental to our business strategy and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any prospective client.

Angie is an exceptional VA! She is highly focused and organised and approaches all aspects of her work with efficiency and professionalism. Excellent communication means that Angie’s work is always exactly what we need and asked for, often exceeding expectations. Angie is a great asset and valued member of our team.

I have worked with Tracey Barney for many years. We have worked on several different commercial projects together. Tracey has a broad sales and marketing experience, and has specific knowledge of HR, supply chain and project management. Tracey has always had a keen interest in "people solutions" and has significant experience in applying this skill to a broad range of business challenges and achieve positive outcomes.

I had the pleasure of working with Tracey for more than 10 years on business restructures, and projects related to new product development.

Her drive, determination and commercial acumen were an asset to the business and we enjoyed many successful collaborations. I'm looking forward to our next project together! "

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work with Tracey on an SAP system implementation, where the implications touched all colleagues and the fundamental ways of working and structure of the Business. Tracey takes a very pragmatic but active role with both Change and Talent Management, and is comfortable to operate at all levels of the Business to support and introduce required changes.

Guildford HR supported me this year with a complex Grievance and Disciplinary matter. The process was well managed and support was delivered when I needed it. Apart from understanding the legal implications to the business concerned, Guildford HR were able to suggest a pragmatic solution on the best way forward for both parties.

Guildford HR has commercial experience as well as being able to concisely tell you what you need to know to protect your business; I found them to be both efficient and affordable.
