Helping businesses who want to improve performance through people

According to the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) now known as BERR, most small to medium sized businesses (SME's) favour a tailored, personal approach to their needs, using a local HR service provider. They also report that some SME's considered that having a low level of confidence in their own ability in dealing with employment issues was a barrier to business growth.
