  • "I worked with The People Factor during my time in the retail sector and was always impressed with their balanced, strategic and 'no nonsense' professional approach . It made absolute sense to engage with The People Factor and utilise their huge experience in helping us set up our people and business strategy, nationally and internationally. I know the value The People Factor can bring to a business in any sector.  The People Factor were well positioned as we launched our business support offer PESBusiness and is part of the team to help support other organisations. I would not hesitate to recommend The People Factor to any business owner or business investor "

  • "Gail has been outstanding with helping us understand employment law, whilst guiding us through difficult decisions. She has helped develop organisational culture and has also helped coach our operations and recruitment teams through both interventions and in how to retain key staff. I would highly recommend working with Gail and the team at The People Factor."

  • "Working with Gail at the People Factor has allowed us to get the HR part of the business into shape very quickly and allowed us to work on important proactive areas such as training and staff engagement. Gail assisted in helping us understand new legislation and how to communicate this to the team so it’s understood. Gail was able to drop other things in an emergency scenario which helps and we feel we can contact Gail 24/7 with a quick response."
