We know HR.

About Us.

As the leader of your company, you know that your employees are a critical component of your success. You also know that as you grow your company, there are a multitude of issues competing for your attention. Whether it is operational, financial, marketing, vendor or customer challenges, some days it seems there is just not enough of you to go around. Who has the time to deal with your human resources challenges in a way that fits with your approach and with your corporate culture? We do.

As your company grows and changes over time, so will your HR needs. REAL HR provides customised HR service that supports your business strategy. We make the effort and take the time to understand your market, your business, your culture, your people, your policies and your practices. We then provide you with expert HR support and advice that is customised to you and to your employees. In addition, as a REAL HR client, you gain access to a wide network of relationships we maintain with other premier providers of services complementary to ours.

REAL HR has the flexibility to change with you; providing the support and services that make sense for you. We offer expert human resources expertise at a fraction of the cost required to employ a comparable full-time human resources employee. You pay a monthly fee that is a fraction of the cost you would pay for an in-house HR generalist, and, in return, you and your staff get expert comprehensive HR guidance and advice.

We are a company with a difference. Over 20 years’ human resources experience means we understand the purpose of Human Resources – to help make the business operations run smoothly. Human resources is not about being the “company cops”, its about creating policies, procedures and providing guidance and support to ensure your business is wildly successful.
