Lee and her team at No8HR have provided us with support, advice and resources that have equipped our managers to run better businesses. Their advice is always practical, business focused and clear. Lee also has an engaging and interactive facilitation style which means our managers always engage in her training sessions and her workshops have become a regular feature of our training calendar.

Jo Sheridan - Contract Deliver
"Thanks for the great night earlier this month. I got lots of positive feedback from those who attended. You covered the brief well by allowing some participants to expand on last years topic and also provided real practical stuff for those new to the dinner.
You rated very highly on all aspects of your presentation (and interaction) and personally I found it a real pleasure dealing with you again. Thanks for all your help"

Gavin Shepherd - Chief Executive Officer
VETFOCUS (TAVA) provides veterinary services and animal health products to rural and small animal clients in the Waikato, where we have operated for nearly 70 years. There are 7 directors and we employ a team of 25 veterinarians and 35 other support staff. With such a large number of employees it is reassuring to have full confidence in the team at No8HR.
The range of services provided meets all of our HR needs. These include services such as recruitment, overview of our employment processes, regular surveys of staff and directors to determine development needs, formal training in areas such as customer service and governance, dispute resolution / mediation and payroll management. It is fair to say that for a small local business, No8HR out performs many of the larger companies in the big cities. As VETFOCUS continues to grow, we will continue to use the services of Lee Astridge and her team. With each assignment, Lee and her team have more than met our expectations.

Warren Morritt
Managing Director
Intelact (Intelact is a Te Awamutu based business operating internationally in the dairy consulting, animal feed and animal exporting businesses)
Our company has worked with Lee Astridge and her team for over seven years. During this time they have provided all our HR requirements including assistance with staff recruitment, staffing and reporting structures, job descriptions, employment contracts, salary reviews in relation to the job market etc.
As an employer I have found being able to discuss with Lee and her team HR issues that require an in-depth knowledge of employment law to be extremely valuable and a huge time saver. I have found their advice on HR issues to be both refreshingly practical and logical, ensuring that both our staff and ourselves have an outcome that is a workable fit for the future of the business and the employee. Along with this the services and advice we have received is always delivered in a timely, professional and prompt manner.
In addition we have used Lee Astridge to run seminars and workshops for our clients on employment related issues. Lee is never one to disappoint and ensures that the audience both participate, enjoy and learn from the experience.

Kym Davey,
Farm Owner
Matamata
"The team at No8HR recently helped me re-organise and restructure my business after I'd been told I needed help to make sure I got it right. Once I had spoken to them and received some information I was a lot more confident with what I had to do and they made sure I had the right information to give to the staff. "
