They are knowledgable, their staff have been supportive, empathetic and go above and beyond in how they’ve provided the advice needed in the organisation. I highly recommend them.read more

I had the opportunity of working with Rose from DOHR. She was able to support us and advise us on how to handle an employee due to poor performance and how to carry out effectively a disciplinary hearing. Without Rose’s support we will not be in this great place where we are today. Thank you for helping us to protect our business. You did an amazing job. Highly recommended.read more

Like many companies as you grow you realise you are spending an increasing amount of time involved in HR. We’d used an external advisor over the years on an ad hoc basis.The impact of Covid has compounded on normal HR issues and we found that we’ve been increasingly embroiled in much more complex HR needs.Of course, it’s often only when you have a more time consuming and involved situations, that you stress test what you have in place. then you realise what and where you are lacking.It was time to get some dedicated support.We spoke to DOHR to discuss our needs. The result was a clear and comprehensive recommendation from them as to the steps needed firstly to bring us up to speed. Plus a plan, not just to deal with any current situation, but also a comprehensive roadmap for ongoing requirements.We’ve engaged DOHR services with the fabulous Rose taking the lead with us. You’ve heard the phrase, ‘we wish we’d done it years ago’ well it’s very much applicable here.DOHR really have made us feel like we have an in-house service despite being outsourced. Professional, knowledgeable, calm, patient, and helpful.From our perspective DOHR have also helped to remove a lot of the stress associated with managing staff HR issues whilst trying to run our business.DOHR’s service has freed up our time to concentrate on other things within our business. I would highly recommend DOHR as an excellent solution to other SME’s for all their HR needs.Thank you !read more

I have always found Donna extremely approachable and, importantly for me, someone who gives pragmatic advice. She takes time to get to know the company and the individual circumstances in order to give the right advice. A member of the same business group I am part of, Donna is always very generous in supporting other members where she can. I would certainly recommend talking to Donna if you have any HR issues no matter how small and simple, large or complex they are.read more

It’s always good to hear from somebody that has actually experienced a service that you may be considering and I can safely say that I have worked with Donna Obstfeld on numerous occasions for various different HR reasons. My requirements have always been met and Donna has provided sound advice and has demonstrated on many occasions her vast knowledge of the sector and her passion for what she does comes through in the dedication that she puts into keeping abreast with the ever-changing environment and therefore being in a position to provide me with up to the date advice. Donna is hard-working, proactive and meticulously organised. My top reason for using Donna though is her speed of response and actions, things are usually done the same day. I write this recommendation in good faith as I believe Donna deserves some recognition for the good work that she has done and hopefully this may be able to provide her with more valued business.
DOHR have been a lifesaver for me. They are my external HR department and they save me stress and more importantly my time. Their staff are extremely knowledgeable and always there to help.

Jacqui Frost, Chief Genie
The Office Genie

"One of the hardest elements of running a business is managing the people. One wants to be fair and generous but not be taken advantage of. One wants to comply with relevant legislation whilst remaining a fabulous employer providing opportunity for growth and benefit to one's team. Keeping on top of all of this requires a certain skill-set and expertise across Recruitment, Human Resources, Psychology and so much more. I could not ever hope to master all of this and so I turn to Donna & the DOHR team. Utter professionals in every way. Totally knowledgeable and on the ball. I could not run the people side of my business without DOHR. I thoroughly recommend them for all your people matters."
"I worked closely with Donna when she was advising us on our premises move. We would not have been able to achieve this move without her assistance. She was professional, detailed and available at any time to advise me on any problems. Her support during this time was invaluable."
Carol Walsh
Medical Devices Company
"I just want you to know that you offer a brilliant service with brilliant people and I am very grateful. I am happy and relieved that I have people like your firm around me offering support and guiding me because to be fair, I would be lost without it. Thank you"
".... She has made a point of getting to understand my business and my business aspirations. She has then challenged several of my assumptions and asked difficult, provocative and immensely valuable questions. She has offered useful feedback and guidance and her mentoring support is much appreciated."
Margaret Adams
Consultant
"DOHR has assisted on a number of occasions when we have had HR problems and has also provided us with new contracts. Donna's work has been extremely beneficial to my practice."
Simon Shaffer
Solicitor
"DOHR was a massive help in dealing with some litigation, their knowledge was exceptional, the professionalism and swiftness in delivery saved a great deal of pain and opened up a negotiated settlement the day before a court hearing, saving potentially thousands of pounds. The attention to detail enabled leverage to negotiate a favourable outcome."
Mark Coker
Businessman
"I have approached Donna on an ad hoc basis to advise on personnel challenged and found her and her team to be calm, methodical, knowledgeable and providers of sound advice. I would happily recommend DOHR to any business"
