"We were restructuring a 300-person team under pressure. Idongesit brought the rigour of a Big 4 engagement and the hands-on presence we needed. The new structure has held for over a year."
"We brought Idongesit in as our fractional HR lead during a period of rapid headcount growth. She anticipated problems before they became crises and gave our leadership team real confidence on people decisions."
"Our previous performance review process was ignored by managers and resented by staff. Six months after working with UR People Partner, completion rates are above 90% and the feedback is qualitatively better."
