The canopy hr difference

Our Approach

Our team is here to help you get things DONE, and to deal with the things that are getting in the way of achieving your organisations objectives.It’s easy to assume that HR services should only be engaged when things are broken, or at risk. Whilst it’s certainly true that we can be extremely helpful in that space, we also look at it from a proactive perspective–we’re here to build and future proof your people power, by reducing risk, white noise and distractions, and investing in efficiency, excellence and strategic best practice.

The canopy HR approach focusses on;

Engaging

With you and your organisation positively and without judgment (there is literally NOTHING we haven’t seen before, and nothing you can’t tell us). We take trust very seriously, and you can rest assured we have your back.

Getting To Grips

With your issues quickly and effectively, presenting you with options and strategies to meet your needs, and engaging with you on YOUR terms to implement them. No problems is too big, or too small for us to get stuck in.

Partnering

With you and your team in a meaningful way that makes an impactful and lasting difference. We don’t believe in leaving clients or communities high and dry, so a core value to our entire approach is sticking together, through the good and the not-so-good.

Freeing You

From day to day obstacles or concerns (ie interpersonal, structural, strategic or process based) which might be getting in the way of doing the things that only YOU can do. Take a breath, knowing you have a team of experts on your side.

Understanding

Your HR priorities in the context of the wider business (And not, as so many of our competitors see it, the other way around). This also means understanding that you’re unique. True success comes from understanding your business, your perspective and your priorities.

Being Real

When you engage with Canopy HR, we will be honest, open and give our very best. We will support you through tough times, protect your interests and celebrate your successes. We will be straightforward, practical, responsive; and try not to use annoying jargon whenever we can help it.
