โ€œWorkNest supports our 280 staff members with Employment Law and Health & Safety and has provided quality management training too.โ€
Lisa BestHead of Service Delivery, Catalyst Choice
โ€œOur relationship with WorkNest is more like a supportive partnership. They treat us like peers, and yet provide extraordinary support whenever we need it. Whether it is about the challenges of working through a pandemic or building a new HR strategy, the people at WorkNest have been kind, holding our hand when that was needed (and it was!) and skilled experts, providing guidance as we required it. We would not have managed through this last period without them, and I look forward to more of this cooperation ahead.โ€
Gus HoseinExecutive Director, Privacy International
โ€œIโ€™ve taken WorkNest into every organisation that Iโ€™ve worked with. Iโ€™ve introduced them to many teams and many colleagues and referred them with absolute pleasure because I genuinely trust in the service that we get.โ€
Debbie JamiesonPeople Director, The Works
โ€œPineapple have worked with the team at WorkNest (formerly Law at Work) since 2003, and we have built a trusted partnership together. We particularly like WorkNestโ€™s concise and practical advice concerning employment law/HR issues and also appreciate their totally supportive approach in all areas of health and safety.โ€
General ManagerPineapple Dance Studios
โ€œAs the company started to get larger, we knew we had to protect our employees and our contractors both onsite and in the offices. WorkNest is exactly what we needed to move the company forward.โ€
Joanne BeaverOperations Director, Beaverfit
โ€œWorkNest (formerly HRSP) provided fantastic support with our recent staffing review. Christian sought to really understand our organisation, and offered clear advice throughout. He was consistently responsive and flexible, and provided a valuable sounding board in respect of some of the more challenging parts of the process. I look forward to continuing to work with WorkNest in the future.โ€
Celia McKeonChief Executive, The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT)
โ€œWhat we recognised in WorkNest is the background that they have. They are able to supply knowledge and experience in a number of disciplines, which enables us to develop our business in a way thatโ€™s safe, to do it on time and with a quality to it.โ€
Debbie RainbowDirector of Human Resources and Health & Safety, Bluestone National Park Resort
โ€œWe moved our legal support to WorkNest (formerly Law at Work) having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully weโ€™ve been delighted with the service weโ€™ve received from WorkNest.โ€
Chief ExecutiveWaverley Care
โ€œWe get a great deal of comfort and satisfaction knowing that we have support as and when we need it, in a decisive and responsive way.โ€
