Clear and reliable HR advice

I had a really good experience with Peninsula. The advice was clear and practical, and it helped me work through a tricky rostering situation without overcomplicating things. Peter Makhlouf was especially helpful. He explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and made sure the advice was aligned with the SCHADS Award. Overall, very responsive and supportive. Definitely appreciate the guidance provided.

The professionalism shown by Peninsula Group since our company have engaged them to look after all of our HR requirements has been excellent. All people that we have dealt with over the past 12 months are very clear with their instructions and made any issue clean to deal with.

Special shout out to Kethmi who has helped our company through a difficult period. Her expertise and guidance have been second to none. Her friendly and engaging demeanour have made the issues we have worked through a comfortable experience. Could not recommend her highly enough.

Peninsula is certainly a great support for managing employee relations!!

The great thing about Peninsula is having the 24/7 access to their advice line, and importantly, getting the right advice for the situation at hand. Additionally, the best part in dealing with Peninsula is their courteous, friendly and professional staff on the phone. Today, I spoke with Peter Makhlouf and Fasya Latif, both of whom were very prompt and responsive, friendly and easy to talk to, and most importantly, knowledgeable about the matter being queried. They were also patient in listening and understanding my queries properly before responding. I would recommend Peninsula to businesses looking to get good and reliable support for managing their employee relations. Thanks Peter and Fasya, and Peninsula for your on-going support, and great customer service!!

Celila was diligent to contacting me after our call dropped out, going so far as to to ring me back the following morning when prior attempts failed.

Additionally she was patient with my questions, context and frustrations.

She also provided a solution that was simple and explained why it worked and when it didn't so we could solve for the minor variations as opposed to the greater process and cultural shift of applying the solution all the time. This was the procedural breakthrough I was looking for. Thank you again Cecilia

I was asked to reach out to Bright HR…

I was asked to reach out to Bright HR and Peninsula after the company I worked for felt like they were paying money for a service that they were not utilising. Initially I did face some difficulties - ideally all I wanted was a starter conversation to run through the platform and how best to use it. Bright HR were able to oblige and we had a productive 1hr conversation on Teams where we shared screens and went through all the features. I found it somewhat tricker to get this sort of help from Peninsula. We were advised at all ends to just call however, I didn't know how long this call would take and there was no way of booking this is. Frustration was starting to rise until we spoke with Isla who was fab. She was patient with us while my boss and I asked questions or had uncertainties around certain areas - she was able to answer questions quickly and also provide us with all options we needed. Isla was able to help us draft several contracts, chase up old paperwork and make steps in auditing our HR paperwork. Left feeling much happier and will be requesting to speak to Isla again
