Testimonials
We know the best proof comes directly from the people we serve. Below are candid accounts from businesses of all sizes showing how Oculus HR has become their trusted HR partner, and delivered tangible, measurable value.
We engaged with Oculus HR mid 2023, we were looking for support across the business from the HR function and Oculus HR were able to come in and seamlessly work with our managers and teams. We worked with them for 7 months and they had a positive impact in a very short space of time.
They were able to offer support with the day to day HR function and as well as from a strategic view. We had a positive experience working with the Oculus team.
SAFC
We initially chose Oculus HR because they offered a good value package, with knowledgeable and experienced practitioners, and are also based locally.
We’ve built an excellent working relationship over a number of years, with prompt, reliable and always helpful, up to date, information and guidance on all HR matters – this has proved to be an invaluable service for the Council.
Great Aycliffe Council
Since we started working with Oculus HR we can now get on with our day jobs knowing that the team will help us manage our HR and will keep us updated with any significant changes that we need to be aware of.
Oculus HR have helped us update all our policies and procedures inline with current legislation and also manage some difficult personnel issues with the minimum of fuss.
Carney Consultancy
We first worked with Oculus about 3 years ago. That experience was so positive that when we needed more support 18 months ago, we knew where to go. We knew we’d get sound, commercial advice and could trust them.
The Oculus team hit the ground running so we felt the benefit from day 1. They made it easy. They understood our business and what was needed. They were always available, quick to respond, and feedback from the Line Managers was great. Deborah and Toni were considered as part of the People team, not something separate.
Whatever scenario we had, they’d dealt with it before! As well as the reactive cases, we benefitted from their broad experience and objective perspective with policy development and longer-term initiatives. They know we couldn’t have managed without them for the last 18 months – we can’t recommend them highly enough.
We liked the fact that Oculus HR were local to ourselves, providing face to face support to feel part of our team. From the outset they felt like a great cultural fit with our business and had a very flexible approach.
The team helped us identify gaps in our processes and kept us abreast of changing legislation, giving us confidence that we have everything in place for our HR needs.
Oculus HR provided us with a solid platform to manage our day-to-day HR requirements in-house. They are also there for us whenever we need more specialist support or advice, providing an extremely professional and responsive service.
Nuby UK
We chose to work with Oculus HR because of their honest and clear approach. They have given us the confidence to know we are taking the right steps at the right time, and are treating our people fairly and in line with the law.
Oculus HR ensured that we have the proper systems in place, saving us time and money by getting it right the first time!
Richard Reed
Having Oculus HR on board has had a fantastic impact on our business. To know that knowledge, support, and advice is just at the other end of the phone/email gives us great peace of mind.
We have Oculus HR on-site at both our offices once a month, which is incredibly reassuring for staff to know that should they need HR advice they have that regular opportunity. It also allows management to discuss any issues on a regular basis and ensure they are dealt with correctly and swiftly.
Sweeney Miller
We wanted a local company that could help us navigate the minefield of staff issues, ensuring we were following the right protocols at the right time.
Having the Oculus HR team there to refer to has made a real difference to Lee and I. We both feel we can speak to anyone at Oculus at any time, about any staff-related issue, and we never feel judged or unsupported.
We initially worked with a remote independent HR company, but everything was online, and at times, we felt like we were left to make decisions on our own without the necessary expertise. This created a sense of uncertainty, as we worried about making the wrong decisions or jeopardising the business. Managing staff is never easy, so having the Oculus HR team always available to listen and offer advice has made a huge difference. Just knowing we can pick up the phone, talk to someone, and receive expert guidance and support has greatly improved our working lives.
