Testimonials

"I have worked with Tracy at different times and in different companies over the last 13 years.

She is always professional, efficient and importantly, brings a 'personal' approach to Personnel and HR.

The 'team' approach at East Boro Housing Trust has always been good, but Tracy is helping our organisation move to another level through further developing its team spirit and its people. I would recommend Tracy without hesitation."

"We are a small registered charity and our staff are very important to us. We knew we wanted to improve our HR function but were apprehensive about inviting someone in that might bombard us with systems and forms!

Tracy was great, she worked with our culture and helped to build our strengths and improve our systems. I would not hesitate to recommend Tracy as she has helped us tremendously."

"Tracy Isbell undertook a restructuring exercise for Brockenhurst College from December 2008 to May 2009, to facilitate the development of our Human Resources, Organisational Development and Quality Improvement work.

She demonstrated utmost professionalism, consideration for the staff involved and excellent advice and guidance for the College. I have no hesitation in recommending the quality of her work and would certainly use her services again."

"I have known Tracy for over 10 years, as a personnel colleague and, more recently, providing a wide range of HR and Personnel services through her own company. Her customers are both businesses without in-house expertise and those where new projects and additional work need someone to deliver tailored, practical solutions.

I have always found Tracy to be adept at identifying the problem, offering a range of solutions, helping customers to make an informed decision and then delivering a quality result, on time.

As a fully qualified (FCIPD) professional her knowledge, skills and experience enable her to work on planned projects and also on those unexpected events which can happen wherever people are employed. When using People Mean Business you get down to earth, no-nonsense results."

"Tracy Isbell was the Company’s first dedicated HR specialist, who joined the business at a time when we were growing steadily and our headcount was increasing rapidly. When she left, we were operating out of seven locations nationwide.

Tracy set up from scratch all of our personnel systems, policies and procedures, which covered both of our businesses; Haskins Garden Centres and HobbyCraft. This included designing, building and implementing a personnel database, which we continued to use for a number of years after she left us.

She undertook training and development activities with staff and carried out a gap analysis, formulating an action plan to prepare the Company for accreditation as an Investor in People".

"We have worked with Tracy on two linked staff opinion surveys. Her knowledge of both the organisations culture and needs helped create a questionnaire that generated an excellent and meaningful response. This enabled defensible, targeted and significant business improvements the results of which were reflected in the follow up survey. Tracy can be proud of her involvement. We have seldom seen such a well thought through and fruitful initiative".

"I have worked with Tracy during the complex merger of two organisations into one, and found her to be down to earth, very practical and clearly focused on delivering real results. Her unique knowledge of both HR and the latest IT systems is a true asset that any organisation engaging Tracy will greatly value".
