House with No Steps
We found the Pinnacle People Solutions team, and particularly Bronwyn, approachable, likeable and non-judgemental. That last is very important. As an organisation we have benefited from three quite different services, and it’s all been very smooth. The approach that the Pinnacle People Solutions team takes is very thorough and well thought out.
Area Manager
The Situation
House with No Steps provides people-centred disability services across Australia. Pinnacle People Solutions was initially engaged to assist the Hunter Division of House with No Steps with staff recruitment as they were finding the process very time-consuming. Subsequently, House with No Steps engaged Pinnacle People Solutions to conduct team building exercises with their New England North West management team and over the last few years they have provided their Area Manager, Denise Aldridge with executive coaching.
The Pinnacle People Solutions Approach
‘We had found the recruitment process from placing advertisements and culling applicants and pre-interviews over the phone extremely time-consuming, so to be able to outsource that was a huge relief for the people in operations,’ said Denise Aldridge.
‘The team building service was a very successful session that Bronwyn ran with the House with No Steps management team, providing each of the participants information about their own management style and the way that they operate, and also providing them with some strategies to take back to their workplace. Bronwyn is very insightful and relatable. My managers and I found her technique of sharing case studies and scenarios from similar workplaces with us meant we could connect with her very easily,’ said Denise.
‘My role with House with No Steps has expanded over the last couple of years and the organisation itself has grown in the region. Through that time, I have utilised Pinnacle People Solutions’ professional coaching services. In a strictly confidential environment, I am able to obtain an independent, professional perspective of a scenario I need to address. Bronwyn’s insightful approach has proven very useful,’ said Denise.
The Outcome
We found the Pinnacle People Solutions team, and particularly Bronwyn, approachable, likeable and non-judgmental. That last point is very important. As an organisation, we have benefited from three quite different services, and it’s all been very smooth. The approach that the Pinnacle People Solutions team takes is very thorough and well thought out,’ said Denise.
‘Overall, it’s been very positive and personally I’ve found the coaching service provided by Bronwyn very thought-provoking and relatable. She’s very professional in the way that she operates but also gentle in her approach; she’s very good at listening, summarising your thoughts, and then planting the seed with suggestions towards the future direction or path you need to be going down. This approach really helps me clarify my thoughts when talking to her,’ said Denise.
‘Bronwyn and her team come very well prepared and deliver a very good, thoughtful service. I would recommend Pinnacle People Solutions to any business looking for a professional organisation to assist them with HR and personnel development,’ Denise concluded.
