“Debbie Bortolussi of PHR Resources Ltd. came into our company at a time when we were transitioning HR direction and going through other major restructuring. Not only did she work with senior management to implement policies and procedures that met our needs, but she worked wonders within our social culture to rebuild employee confidence, energy and retention. She put her heart and soul into everything she nurtured and the results were impressive. Well done and thanks from our whole “team”!

Sherry Tryssenaar,
Chief Financial Officer,
QuestAir Technologies Inc.

"PHR Resources helped us go through a very turbulent period of change and restructuring. Employees were resentful, conflicts frequent; everyone felt insecure and turn-around was very high.

Debbie’s actions on all levels and spheres had an amazing positive effect within only a couple of months. She made us understand our feelings, brought us back together, and led us safely through the period of transition. Sparks, anxiety, blaming and defiance diminished. Employees became focused on the plans for the future. We started looking forward to coming to work again.

I had a great pleasure working closely with Debbie. I’ve never learnt so much in such a short period."

"We called on Debbie Bortolussi and to aid us as our Director of Human Resources had transitioned out of Hcareers and we were about to begin the year without any human resource plans or direction in play. Debbie came in and met with our team and established a plan of action within a week of her starting the project. This HR plan encompassed recruitment, human resources and training and development and had each responsible team member on track and working to a tight timeline. We met that timeline and still use the items and processes she helped to develop. If you want it done right and in record time, call Debbie and her team at PHR Resources!"
