Advisory support Hiring & onboarding Manage Difficult Employees Custom contracts & letters Performance reviews Leave tracking It started with a simple idea from two Kiwi blokes back in 2010 – ‘Make HR easier for SME’s, freeing business owners up to do what they do best’ This was the “why” behind Jason Ennor and Sean O’Brien founding MyHR - each bringing complementary business skills to the table - both intent on enabling SME’s to thrive. It’s all about taking away the stress of navigating employment relationships for owners who aren’t necessarily good at that aspect of running a business, says MyHR New Zealand’s Chief Evangelist Sylvie Thrush Marsh. “People start companies because they’re good at their trade - whether that’s plumbing, accounting, or graphic design - and they often don’t have a strong understanding of employment law. We close that gap for small to medium size businesses, who typically want easy access to practical, understandable and solutions-focussed advice. They don’t want anything too corporate, but they do want to make sure they get the legal stuff right and manage their staff to get the best results,” Sylvie says. It would seem Jason and Sean hit the nail on the head by focussing on providing services to small and medium size businesses. Since starting, the company has expanded to Australia and Canada, proof positive that MyHR supports clients and delivers results. “We know just how crucial it is for employers to interact with their team in ways that are legally sound,” Sylvie says.“Very often, mistakes are made because the boss is trying to engage with staff in an informal way, but this often leaves them vulnerable to issues escalating into a problem well-beyond their ability to resolve. Our team of HR experts are here to help our customers navigate all kinds of problems – whether it’s a 90-day trial period termination, a complex disciplinary for bullying, or an -organization-wide restructure as they right-size for current economic conditions. This takes significant worry off their shoulders.” As well as getting professional advice, MyHR ‘s customers can easily manage their people processes in MyHR’s secure online platform - including onboarding, performance reviews, leave integration, secure file storage, and e-signing of important documents. “Think of us as your business’s HR department and our delivery model means we’re flexible on pricing. We charge a monthly subscription as we know for small operators the price point is critical. There to support every step of the employee lifecycle, from contract development, onboarding, performance review, disciplinary interactions, exiting steps, MyHR removes uncertainty and worry. “We enable business owners to be free to concentrate on what they do best, with peace of mind knowing that the HR side of things is in experienced hands.” MyHR New Zealand – Northern Advocate
