Human resources must be taken seriously and its contribution viewed as adding value, not cost. The challenge is for businessess to understand and accept this concept. HR is about working with the business to accurately budget and forecast hard and soft costs and demonstrate the true value of staff investment.

As it is with the IT industry so it is with the human resource environment. Change is inevitable and as technology improves so does the quality of personnel and only those companies/organisations that apply the best practice principles will be in it for the long haul. People provide the knowledge, skills, enthusiasm and energy in your business. They are your most valuable asset. Invest wisely.

Endorsements

“Coping with the unexpected resignation of a Chief Executive of an organisation with a busy programme and a largely volunteer governance structure can throw a huge burden on those volunteers. When this happened to us we were fortunate to be able to call on David to take over the appointment process and to deliver a high quality short-list of suitable candidates that allowed the Board to conclude the appointment quickly and with minimum additional load.”
Steve Jenkins – President, Association of Consulting Engineers of New Zealand (ACENZ)

“As a new immigrant from South Africa, David was of great assistance in ensuring that I was easily able to integrate into my new role, as well as help my wife and I settle into the local community. The concern and assistance provided by David at that time went way beyond the normal call of duty.” Chris Stone - Wastewater Operations Engineer

“Our family have been residents of New Zealand for more than 6 years now. Our journey to New Zealand started when we responded to one of Dave’s advertisements in a local South African newspaper. Dave in my opinion is a true professional. He has honesty and integrity, which is hard to come by, and is an ambassador to his profession and his country.”
John Hickman – Stormwater Engineer

“My switch from the UK to New Zealand was predominantly a lifestyle choice and was greatly assisted by David who from employment through to arrival ensured that my migration to New Zealand went smoothly and without difficulty. His genuine concern and professional manner conveyed confidence in me and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to come to New Zealand.”
Jonathan Hall

“David has brought a down to earth, good humoured but always intelligent and professional approach. His work in putting together conferences, participating in regional HR forums, his belief in collaboration across the region and his willingness to share his knowledge and experience have all been appreciated by a great deal of people over the years.”
