My name is Paulette Kolarz, Im the Founder and Director of BespokeHR. For the last 20 years, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses grow and thrive while solving their biggest HR headaches, challenges and restraints.
Over this time, I’ve witnessed poorly managed (or executed) people issues destroy businesses, friendships, marriages and families. It’s our mission to avoid businesses having to go through this. We want to help you sleep better at night and get you back to running your businesses by helping create great places to work, high performing teams, leaders and managers that people want to work for, and compliant, productive and profitable workplaces. We believe, better workplaces lead to better lives lead to better communities.
Whether you are facing an urgent issue today or want the processes and skills in place to place to protect your tomorrow, BespokeHR are here to help you upgrade your people power.
