Students

If you are still studying or a new graduate just starting out

Starting out is overwhelming. How do you find your first job when you have no experience?

Sometimes all it takes is some no-nonsense advice from a personal advisor who’s been there, done that. HRguru is your online mentor. Our HR advisory service help you connect the dots and break frontiers in your career at a rate that is sensitive to a student’s budget limitations.

People Managers

If you manage people and need to build positive relationships

For some managers, dealing with people is a skill that doesn’t always come naturally. As a manager your job is to watch the bottom line, but sometimes that means making decisions that affect the well-being of your employees. How do you deal with difficult workers? What do you do when an employee doesn’t do his job to expectations? Are you stuck with a tough workplace conflict? How can you maintain a smooth relationship with your boss? Do you know how to retain your best talent? How do you engage management to put in place a sales incentive programme?

Whether you have urgent problems that require immediate attention, or just need an insightful second opinion or a trusted sounding board for your ideas, HRguru offers professional guidance drawn from years of HR experience across sectors to help you tackle your toughest problems and make those difficult decisions.

Entrepreneurs and Family Businesses

If you are running an SME

How do you know if you’re making the right HR choices when you have limited experience, little time and even fewer resources? Yet every HR decision that you make has the potential to impact the course of your business. The right choice can open countless opportunities, while the wrong one can land you in hot water.

C-level Executives and Board Stakeholders

If you are at the top levels of your organization

Some situations require intensive, in-depth focus to examine the issues from multiple viewpoints and within complex corporate and regulatory environments – specific matters related to strategy, practice, structure, efficiency and organisational alignment, or topics in critical areas that include executive compensation, collective bargaining, leadership team development, managing transitions or  succession planning.

Our innovative O₃ (One-On-One) Advisory Service is designed for your convenience, giving you access to expert advice and practical solutions where and when you need it from seasoned high-level HR professionals who have deep knowledge across sectors.
