“I have been a company director/company chairman for 20 years. During the past 4 years I have had the opportunity to use Karen's skills and approach in a range of company situations....small through to medium size, public and private, some co-operative and some skeptical. She is the consummate professional. She works quickly, imaginatively, effectively and importantly ‘tells it as it is’. I can recommend her with confidence.” Donald Dyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Karen was a guest speaker at our HR executive offsite. In response to our brief she challenged our thinking as HR professionals. She provided practical tools to assist us in evaluating our effectiveness and developing our competence to a best practice level.” Vanessa Stoddart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Karen has provided outstanding consulting services to Harcourt Assessment over the past 3 years. She has provided Harcourt Assessment strategic advice in the areas of business planning and development and Human Resource Management, and on a personal note she has been a tough but compassionate coach. Of particular note is the team strategy planning meeting she helped me design and implement a few years ago, where we spent time off site, set our strategic goals for the following year, and met with clients to receive feedback on our strengths and areas for development. Karen facilitated the meeting and the outcomes remain crucial to our business direction today.” Dianne Lissner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Karen van Druten was engaged at a time when our company had outgrown its processes and structure. Karen provided an insightful review of our HR processes and her advice on our structural issues has been invaluable and has had a high degree of influence over our restructure and future planning. For a small company engaging consultants can be an expensive task. Karen told us upfront what she would do and how much it would cost and kept to that. She delivered a prompt professional service of real value." Tony Bailey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharyn Schultz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Karen van Druten is an innovative human resource practitioner whose skills have guided us in our ongoing search for ‘the edge’ in achieving best practice as an employer. Her insights into the employment relationship have been invaluable in helping us towards our objective of ensuring that our people are achieving at their maximum potential and getting a buzz whilst doing so. She has a knack of making you view your major resource through a different lens.” Carole Molyneux ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We were keen to start work on our organisation’s values. I sought out Karen to assist. With her guidance and facilitation we have moved quickly to a statement of core values that we are all very excited about. We are now developing those and using them to develop policy and practice. Karen is incisive, practical, effective and inspiring in her ability to help us move on and develop. I would strongly recommend her." Anthea Green
