I've used Essential HR numerous times over the year and can't recommend Laura and her team enough! They're great to work with, responsive and turn things around quickly. So nice to be able to have HR services available for those that don't need a full-time HR in house.

Working with Laura and her team at Essential HR was a wonderful experience. They were professional and efficient at assisting us in finding a new team member. From posting the ad, to interivewing, to onboarding our new team member they did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them for all of your HR needs 🙂

We have been so happy with our experience working together with Laura and Essential HR. As our company grew, we realized the need for someone who could answer all our questions, walk through issues with us and also inform us of policies and practices that we were unaware of, and that we could initiate and share with our team. We have appreciated Laura's expertise and her professionalism. There is so much new information for businesses when it comes to Human Resources and having Essential HR just a call or email away has proven invaluable for our company.

Laura has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As a leader of a small non-profit organization, HR is one of the many hats I wear. With little time and no HR education, I was so thankful that Laura was recommended to me! Her friendly and fun presence is refreshing as she takes the stress out of HR for me. Laura has helped me update our HR policies, health and safety practices and employment contracts. Laura was an essential part of our hiring team as she screened applicants and assisted with the interview process. Laura has always been helpful when I call her with questions or when seeking guidance on things such as termination. Utilizing her expertise was the right move for us. I highly recommend Laura and Essential HR for any business or non-profit leader that needs HR help or expertise!

A fantastic resource that we’re glad to have found! Over the past year, Essential HR has helped us navigate several situations with ease, while keeping the perfect balance between protecting employees and their rights, while keeping employers guarded against regulatory misuse and abuse.

In each instance they provided fast and knowledgable insights, making every step of the process flow efficiently and without surprises. In an environment where regulations and expectations change quickly, the up to date expertise provided by Essential HR is a valuable asset to any business.

Laura offers some great resources. Her newsletters are always informative and I never fail to learn something new. A good person to have on speed dial to ensure that HR practices are well established even without your own HR department.

Essential HR was an incredible resource for my organization - they supported the development of job descriptions, hosting multi-stage interviews, and consulting with our staff to refine their roles and responsibilities. They were unbelievably helpful, speedy, and generous with their thoughtful advice and recommendations - I could not have asked for better support!
