Clients

Clearwater Brookes have been providing our HR Services for several years and we are extremely satisfied with the level of service that they provide.

As a smaller organisation, we are grateful for the high levels of flexibility which Clearwater Brookes offer and the ability to tailor their services to meet our needs is invaluable to us.

Their extensive knowledge, skills and experience ensure that we deal with personnel issues such as staff development, training and recruitment, in the most professional manner. We are very happy with our partnership and would have no problems in recommending them to other organisations.

We have worked with Clearwater Brookes for the last two years - their professional approach and values are extremely important to us and means that they are able to work with us on operational HR issues as well as designing and delivering bespoke learning and development programmes - which contributes to our Corporate Plan aims and, more importantly our staff really enjoy and see the value of.

We work so closely together, that they feel like part of my HR team! I would not hesitate in recommending CWB to any other organisation.

Clearwater Brookes has been employed as a consultant/course provider by the Scottish Borders Council since 2003. Clearwater Brookes has run a wide range of courses from Managing Underperformance to Inspirational Leadership.

These courses have been designed to meet our needs both in terms of content and delivery and have underpinned much of our leadership development programme. Their style of consultancy is professional, supportive and responsive, ensuring that all professional development solutions have helped us to develop our capacity and increase confidence and competency.

Feedback from every course organised by Clearwater Brookes has consistently been outstanding and clearly demonstrated that each course has been carefully adapted to meet not only the needs of the group but also the needs of the individual. Clearwater Brookes are a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Over 20 of our staff have participated in the 2 day 'Human Dynamics' training delivered by Clearwater Brookes Ltd over the last 12 months and they are unanimous in their praise for both the content and the trainer. These are just some of the comments given as feedback immediately afterwards:

'Fantastic trainer. Really useful tools to use in project. Fun exercises and great icebreakers. Thank you.'

'Excellent training, clear, concise, good examples given.'

'Changed my views on how to perceive people. Never looked at behaviour of people in this way. Very good learning tool.'

Working with Clearwater Brookes has benefits to both the HR team, the management team, and the employee base. Advanced consultancy skills provide clarity of thought on the HR requirements, challenge the business to address key issues, and encourage managers and employees to change behaviours. The level of service provided is an extension of the internal HR team and is considered confidential by all involved.

Clearwater Brookes has helped SEGA Europe Limited's HR and management teams to grow and address key management and business issues in a rapid growth period.

Clearwater Brookes have worked with us to provide training on managerial development, selling skills, team building, presentation skills and assessed the team ethos through psychometric testing to facilitate further team development. The training was spread over a month but several months preparatory work and follow up was allowed for. This had the benefit of analysing potential issues and areas to be focused on during the course itself. The subsequent work helped to drive the work that came out of the training days. This support was unobtrusive and dealt with sensitively to allow us to perform our day jobs and adopt the output from the course.

Our face to face Clearwater Brookes trainer's obvious experience and people skills shone through. Their ability to put people at ease helped the less experienced and those nervous of group situations and gave encouragement to those to speak out and air their views.

On reviewing the content and quality of the training we would recommend Clearwater Brookes without hesitation.

Clearwater Brookes came highly recommended and have proved to be a valuable asset to us. They have engaged with colleagues at all levels of our organisation and have enabled us to meet our objectives through the development of processes and employees.

CEO
Inverclyde Community Development Trust

We have enjoyed a strong partnership with Clearwater Brookes since the company's inception. During this time they have provided a variety of services from design to developing and delivering innovative programmes relating to employability and career services; more recently working with us to develop 'Pack to the Future'.

This publication, which directly addresses one of the 'Determined to Succeed' recommendations, provides business case studies and templates which allows pupils to gain a better insight into the world of work and realise through active participation the steps necessary to move into a chosen career path.

We hope to have the opportunity to work with Clearwater Brookes again in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations.
