Natasha Hawker – Employee Matters

Natasha started Employee Matters, with her partner Mark because they see many small to medium businesses (SMEs) that desperately need help with their people issues. We believe that you need HR support at particular times in your business but not necessarily in a full-time capacity.

We know that to have a successful business you need to be surrounded by a great team to help you deliver your service or product and free up your time to focus on your business critical issues.

So they integrated Natasha’s extensive HR and business experience with Mark’s finance background, to provide the HR support and business understanding that you need.
