The Edwards HR approach
People + Process = Profit
At Edwards HR, our approach to Human Resources is simple. We are driven by the philosophy that we keep at the core of everything we do: the right people + the right processes = profit.
People are at the heart of HR. And the right processes make everything fall into place easily, with, and for those people.
Get these two areas right, and your bottom line will benefit.
It means our solutions are a value-add for your business, working out the people and the processes so you can watch your profits rise and your bottom line improve.
Here's how our HR approach works in practice:
The right people
- The right people in the right roles with the required skills and training.
- Find the right candidates in qualification, experience and cultural fit.

- Purpose-driven leadership.

- Reliable teams who are happy working for you – and who want to stay.
- Appropriate organisational structure.

Our approach: what we are not...
If your experience has been similar to that of many of our clients, you may have had some not-so-great experiences with some providers. However, you can rest assured that we focus on a client-friendly approach that is as much about what we are not as what we are.
We don't believe in 'one size fits all' solutions
We're not a call centre
We deliver a personal service. When you get in touch with us at Edwards HR, you’ll be talking to a real person with extensive HR experience in heavy industry. No matter how you choose to work with us, we will take the time to get to know you, your business, needs, goals, and challenges.
We don't push you to lock in to 3 - 5 year contracts
We won't hassle you with sales calls every week
We often hear from our new clients that they were being overwhelmed with frequent sales calls from previous providers. We give genuine, real advice from the standpoint of experienced HR experts, and never hassle our clients with frequent hard sales calls. At Edwards HR, we’re never about the hard sell. We work with you to find the best fit for your business, resources and needs.
