HRNetwork under Stan Horwitz has worked for Parliament for many years on amongst others the following projects: 1. Development and implementation of the performance system for Parliament; 2. Skills audit and training & development; 3. Facilitating development of engagement strategy for management and unions in Parliament During this time I found him and his team to be exceptionally professional, they delivered on their contractual obligation exceptionally well. Parliament kept on going back to the team for help whenever they needed a knowledgeable team to render a speedy service!

HRNetwork were engaged to reconstruct our human resources function and assist with effecting change. They were involved in the appointment of management and the current managing director. They are involved and relate to the specific issues. A caring and human face

In my previous capacity as Strategic Transformation Consultant in the CEO's office at Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery I had the opportunity to work closely with Stan who was the external consultant during a SAP Implementation Project. Stan was responsible for the Change Management facets of the project and provided both great strategic focus to the executive team as well as empathetic support to the change agents and employees affected by the change. He is able to successfully integrate the technical and human elements in order to ensure effective project implementation. Amongst other interventions we conducted a comprehensive Attitude Survey that was used as a vehicle for driving change.

I have over many years worked with Stan Horwitz of HRNetwork and have always found him to be knoweldgeable and professional. Stan is higely committed to his clients and works with real care and passion. I would without hesitation recommend him/HRNetwork for any HR related project.

Stan assisted the City of Cape Town`s Traffic Department during 2011 with the development of a Strategy. His knowledge on the development of strategy is excellent. He is also an excellent facilitator and have definitely add value to the Traffic Department. The management team of the Traffic Department was very impressed by his professionalism.

HR Network have assisted the Parliamentary Service with a few projects, the 2 most notable are. 1. A Relationship by Objectives (RBO) exercise between Management and Organised Labour. Their understanding of the sources of conflict and facilitation skills greatly assisted these parties to move closer to one another. The facilitation undertaken greatly assisted the parties to develop the relationship we enjoy today. 2. A Team Building Exercise for HR Dept: This process allowed the HR team to become even more cohesive. Again. the knowledge of the facilitators around HR and the HR dynamics assisted in making this a success. Riga has used HRNetwork for various HR related matters over the past few years and has found them to be knowledgeable and provide a professional service. They have been a great ally in resolving some tricky employee matters. Services we used them for were the Employee Disciplinary Process, Policy and Procedures Manual, Employment Equity and other general advice

Stan and the team have been great over the years and have a very hands on approach to the job - they become part of your team! We launched a new product in a short space of time at the Land Bank and they came on board, got up to speed and did the training as if they had been involved for years. Stan remains involved even after the job has been completed and he guides you through challenges. It is great to have somebody so clued up on HR matters to call on.

We have recently had the pleasure of working with HR Net in developing our Human Capital Development Strategy. We found the company responsive to our needs and willing to accommodate the very tight timeframes set by our organisation for the completion thereof. The workshops held were very interactive and generated lots of participation. The final draft was approved with very little amendments to the content; which proved that even in such a short time period; HR Net understood our business and were able to produce a strategy that is practical and implementable. I would definitely recommend HR Net for any HR related projects. In the past they have also assisted our organisation with facilitation of various processes related to strategy; and have found them to be experts in their field and the services rendered to be professional and of a high quality and standard.

"HR Network was a equal part in a consortium called OD Net who were appointed to assist the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) and Supplier Park Development Company (SPDC) merge into one new entity with an expanded mandate. Both entities were diverse in its nature of business, are government owned and operate in the very demanding automotive environment so a challenging process was anticipated. OD Net's appointment was also done relatively late and they were brought onboard 3 months prior to merger effective date. Despite this they endeavoured to support the process by going well beyond their mandate and had to very often respond to changes in plans and additional reporting deadlines with extremely short notice. Their team always conducted themselves professionally and understood the challenges that our environment brought, in so doing we managed to focus on the key deliverables and successfully complete the project."
