“After my role was made redundant, I worked with Pauline Drissell from ema. Pauline gave me the confidence not to panic, but to take time to think about what I really wanted from my next role. ema’s Signature Career Transition Manual provided a practical, common sense guide to help me set my next career goal. Pauline provided the emotional and practical support I needed to achieve that goal. I would highly recommend ema to anyone needing career support.”

“EMA are Housing Plus’s chosen HR Partner and over the last four years have provided a wide range of HR related services, including:

• Complex employee relations

Our experience of EMA is that they a trusted partner who adds value to our business. Anne Elliott, Rita Coe and Ann Ive are always actively engaged in all their commissions, providing professional, reliable and confident solutions. EMA has a very detailed knowledge and experience of the social housing sector as well as an in-depth understanding of our business objectives which is why we are pleased to work in partnership with EMA.

In summary, I have no hesitation in recommending EMA to any similar organisations for independent support on recruitment and complex HR or organisational change and development activities.”

“What I like about EMA’s approach is that it is truly tailored for the client’s needs. Each time I have commissioned EMA they have helped me work out what I need, not always what I thought I wanted. They then put together an approach that fits the budget and delights by being considered and professionally delivered to attract great candidates. I would recommend EMA to any provider, large or small, looking for a value-adding and cost-effective service.”

“PA Housing have worked with ema on several projects the last one provided advice and support on a restructure of the senior leadership team. They have always worked to our timeline and within agreed budgets, we remain extremely satisfied with the work and the constructive relationship, I am happy to recommend their services to other organisations.”
