Our National Involvement Providing Support

We pride ourselves on working with some of Ireland’s best businesses.

In April 2020, Enterprise Ireland published, in partnership with The HR Suite, a comprehensive Covid- 19 Employer Guide to provide direction on how EI & LEO SME clients should manage the Covid-19 situation from an employer/employee perspective. The guide includes up-to-date legislative amendments which impact on the way in which companies manage the health and well-being of staff in addition to key HR policy templates that may be adapted by companies for their own use. This proves The HR Suite track record on such projects in producing relevant, timely and useful guides for Enterprise Ireland and LEO clients. Following the Covid-19 Employer Guide a live webinar was facilitated by Enterprise Ireland led by The HR Suite which was proven successful with good feedback on the same. View PDF

Skillnet Ireland’s enterprise-led ReBound Mentoring initiative was designed to guide SME Owners and Managers in implementing the ‘Return to Work Safely’ Protocol and to help navigate a secure recovery. The HR Suite have worked with Rebound in 2020 facilitating webinar training with members of the Hair and Beauty industry by way of Image Skillnet. Furthermore, one-to-one remote mentoring has been conducted with members of Image Skillnet on HR Management and employment law queries.

The HR Suite has worked closely over a number of years with Local Enterprise Offices in delivering both training and mentoring services to their members. Most recently The HR Suite has been heavily involved with LEO’s as part of the ‘Business Continuity Voucher’. This scheme was rolled out in May 2020 in response to the COVID19 pandemic. The aim of the BCV was to provide funding for consultative measures in order to set up a strategic plan to help business come up with short term and long term actions in order to protect employees and sales. The HR Suite assisted many organisations by way of the BCV, as their chosen HR partner.

The HR Suite worked with HABIC in running Free HR Guidance Webinars in 2020 in appreciation for member of the hair and beauty industry in Ireland. The HR Suite created a briefing Factsheet on behalf of HABIC with advice, relevant and crucial information that outlined all the important information/ advice for the industry that was uploaded to the members area.
