Client Testimonials
The Venue Management Association has been utilising the services of Des Kerr over the past year and he has delivered a significant improvement in our HR management during that short time. As an independent and professional consultant he has brought to the Association the skills and experience we were lacking as a SME and delivered amazing results across all the projects.
Des’s ability to engage with staff at all levels, manage projects in an efficient and comprehensive manner and deliver value added outcomes has resulted in both an improved framework we needed in this important area and the confidence we are meeting and exceeding both our IR obligations and support for our staff members.
Through his extensive skills and considerable experience Des has been able to professionalise our HR management structure, implement the process and policy documents we needed and improved both our retention and recruitment outcomes.
I would thoroughly endorse any SME looking for specialist HR outcomes and support to talk to Des and explore how he can also assist your business.
