PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS
With so many consultants on the market promising to protect you and your business, it is VITAL to ensure you get one that not only has the experience BUT has the qualifications to support. Paulette goes out of her way to not only be a highly experienced but also highly qualified expert in her field and a true academic to back this up.

Paulette strongly believes that the way to a company’s success is through its most valued asset, its people. This has been proven by Richard Branson time and time again. She considers the ‘nuts and bolts’ of each company and the staff required to keep them spinning. If you do not keep them well oiled through Recognition, making sure there is Purpose and self-direction towards Mastery – Treat people like people and move away from the “carrot and stick” mentality.

Our Values + Mission
Our Brand Values and Mission Statement help us form the approach and delivery of our service. That’s why we’ve established clear values at the heart of our brand guiding us all at Fresh HR Insights.
We STRONGLY hold these values – if you don’t feel you align with us and we don’t align with you then we will never create MAGIC in workplace success.
Let’s be honest – we only work with people we align with and feel a connection. Nobody listens to someone they don’t like and why pay us if we can’t deliver what you need because of a difference.
Research has shown us that clients understand that Human Resource Management is essential in business today and that they need to manage their employees with respect. But this isn’t strong enough to overcome the emotional and rational barriers preventing them from taking the next step.
Our mission is to remove the barriers that prevent people from making the most of their employees and protecting what’s important to them – their business.
By removing these barriers, we turn our client’s business journeys from one that’s difficult to one that’s effortless.
Our Brand Values are at the core of what we do and how we treat people in all our daily dealings. Our reputation means the world to us, and we strive daily to preserve and enhance how people see the value in what we do.
Do our 5 values below align with yours?
FUN: Have fun and enjoy what we do every day.
RESPECT: Treat our clients, business partners and colleagues as we would like to be treated.
EXCELLENCE: Pursue the ideal of being the best in what we do each and every day.
STEADFAST: Remain determined and firm in our mission to deliver great outcomes.
HUMBLE: Be humble, it helps keep an open mind, a caring attitude, and respect for others
