I have heard numerous positive remarks about Donna and her team at DOHR, and I recommended her services to a business friend who was encountering significant challenges with some difficult employees.It’s widely known that the employer’s perspective often goes unheard, but Donna and her team at DOHR took the time to understand the circumstances thoroughly. They gathered the necessary evidence, engaged in discussions with the opposing party’s solicitor, and successfully resolved the issue without any financial settlement for the employer.Donna’s expertise and dedication to her work are truly commendable. I highly recommend DOHR and Donna for all HR-related needs.

I have worked with the team at DOHR for several years. As a small charity having trusted external HR support has been vital. 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.

Donna and her team (especially the amazing Kim) have helped us out when were in a tight spot. We were down on resource and had lots of recruitment coming up – DOHR stepped in and provided a proactive and passionate service resulting in us placing a record amount of candidates in such a short time. Donna has also supported on other employee issues, always very professional.
Rose and Laura incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our recent disciplinary action. Both provided clear guidance and support ensuring that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently with the least amount of disruption necessary. I was most impressed with their professionalism and communication and should we require DOHR’s services in the future it will be without trepidation. Thank you.

Where we’ve come from

DOHR was established in 2007 by managing director Donna Obstfeld. Donna has over 25 years of experience in HR and management and has worked with a variety of small and medium businesses as well as large companies like TK Maxx, Hewitt Associates and Securicor.

After a career in the corporate world, Donna realised that although there were plenty of ‘HR consultancies’ out there; precious few of them actually listened to what their clients’ businesses needed and built bespoke solutions to meet those needs. So she decided to do just that.

Where we’re going

We’re on a mission. A mission to make the lives of our clients more stress free and enjoyable. It’s a weighty task, but we’re fully committed to it.

From the moment you pick up the phone to us, to the minute we finish completing a task for you, our mantra will always be the same – we’ll be trying to make your workplace a better place to be.

How we do what we do

Your business is our priority, so we allocate an HR advisor who gets to know your business and your managers. In most cases you will speak to your HR advisor for all your day to day queries. If they are not available, one of the team will be able to help.

In addition, we are able to resource projects or assignments based on the best person for the task. If you need an HR administrator – you’ve got it! If you need a heavy hitter – you’ve got it! You want some training – we give you a trainer! You want some recruitment – we give you a recruiter.

Who we do it for

We support employers; people who care about their people.

Employers who want to do the right thing, but need some help doing it. Employment legislation is the same regardless of your sector or company size, but it is what you do from there which makes you different. It is your culture, your ethos, your values and your leadership which makes your business different and special and enables you to attract, recruit and retain the talent your business needs.

We help you to become and remain compliant, but we also help you to become an employer of choice.

The short answer to this is if you employ staff, you need some sort of HR. How you get that support will vary based on your experience,capacity and budget.
