I am so thankful for Catalina! We chose to outsource our HR due to the complexities the field now entails, and the inability of matching our in-house skillset to all the requirements that constantly arise in a 21st century business. Within one month of Catalina being on board we had to tap into a specific skillset of crisis counselling when a staff member had a serious anxiety attack. Following that we needed research skills to assist in market analysis, in-house training for staff development and nurturing, as well as the usual day to day HR assistance. The benefit of Catalina’s knowledge comes from their involvement across a variety of professions, this gives a unique knowledge base we are able to tap into constantly.
