What our clients say!

Amdac Carmichael

Amdac Carmichael Ltd is the largest and only UK Company producing a full range of fire-fighting vehicles. Carmichael has customers in more than 80 countries around the world. Admac Carmichael is based in Worcester.

Carmichael has around 75 employees, including office-based administration and factory-floor manufacturing staff.

Rachel Perks, a CIPD qualified head of HR, says:

“H2R online has helped us to bring the human resources function together. We now have one centralised place where all the HR documents are kept. The staff appreciate using the holiday manager and this in itself has saved time.

It’s great being able to see the reports whenever I need them, and it’s really handy having all the personnel records online, in one secure place.”

GB Eye Limited

GB Eye are the country’s leading distributor of posters and related paper products. They have over 50 employees based in Sheffield. Karen Hemingway was tasked with setting H2R up:
 
“Setting up the system didn’t take long at all once I had read and understood the help manual. After the data had been entered we were up and running in an hour. I was pleased it was so easy to use.
 
Having an online system like this saves a lot of time. There is practically no admin time spent on for instance holidays now, and I can relax knowing that every employee has access to the right documents: contract of employment, induction packs, health and safety and so on.
 
New employees can even log in before they start work which is great.
 
The staff have had no problems using the system and I think they like the idea they can log in and out as they want.”

Hart Owens

Tina Winterburn is the Managing Director of Hart Owens Group, a specialist insurance broker and risk manager.

“We have about 26 employees. Not so many that we could afford our own HR specialist, but enough to mean that the HR / personnel issues are significant and need to be managed professionally. H2R has done that for us really quite easily. The system looks and feels very professional and the staff like using it. It gives all of us the information we need.”

Porterbrook Dental Centre

Craig Smith is a dentist and runs the Porterbrook Dental Centre.

“As a small employer of just over 10 dental staff, I face regular HR challenges! I don’t often have the time or the resources to deal with them as I would like to. Having a system like H2R means that I have a solid framework ready-made and I can spend more time on other things. It would have taken me ages to set up systems as good as H2R and it is good to know that the whole thing is kept up-to-date without me having to do anything.

I love the idea that a lot of our HR admin has become virtually “self-service.” The system works well and there is a telephone helpline when I want to discuss how to do something. Actually the whole thing is pretty intuitive and I can see how it works pretty easily”

SEL Imperial

Michel Bourne is Head of IT at SEL Imperial a manufacturer and distributor or car parts based in Doncaster. He says:

“We have over 110 employees across the UK and use some fairly sophisticated software to manage our business. H2R has been a fantastic addition for us on the HR side. We use H2R as a tool to communicate with staff based in our depots around the country. The Intranet allows the employees access to their own personnel file while the managers have management information at their fingertips. It’s a good feeling to know that we are compliant with employment law. It’s a great system.”

St Thomas Church

St Thomas' Church at Philadelphia is one of the country's largest Churches. It employs over 60 staff in three locations. Those staff work varied hours on different days and locations across the city of
Sheffield.

Helen Cockram, the HR manager says:

"H2R has helped us streamline all our personnel procedures and enabled our staff to access information immediately, whether working from the office or elsewhere.

We now have most of our HR documents, including contracts, on the system and we are using the holiday manager which has seamlessly taken over from the various old charts and systems we used to have. We have developed a new Induction procedure using the H2R online manual and all staff now have easy access to our Employee Guide, recruitment and appraisal procedures, and many other useful guides.

The system has certainly helped us to be more organised and efficient in what we do.”
