Testimonials

pivot hr services client, employ to employer

“Pivot HR has been such an incredible support to our organization. As a small charity, accessing high-quality HR expertise is often financially out of reach, so having their team offer free quarterly HR sessions has been invaluable. From succession planning to HR policies and more, each session has been practical, relevant, and thoughtfully delivered.

Robin created a genuinely collaborative environment  —  she held space for personalized questions, made everyone feel heard, and never made us feel rushed or alone. As a founder, that sense of support is rare and deeply appreciated. Everything was organized, timely, and professional, and Pivot consistently asked for our feedback to ensure the sessions were tailored to what charities actually need.

It’s rare to see a company step up for nonprofits in such a meaningful and generous way. We’re truly grateful for Pivot HR’s commitment to strengthening the sector. Highly recommend!”

“PavCo has been working with Robin Turnill and Pivot HR for a number of years specifically for respectful workplace and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training. From the outset, Robin’s professionalism and dedication was evident. She took the time to understand our unique needs by conducting focus groups across the organization and then creating tailored training to ensure maximum impact.

Robin led both team member and people leader training sessions that were engaging, insightful, and thought-provoking. Robin brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience.

I highly recommend Pivot HR to any organization looking to enhance their DEI efforts.
