reviews, salary reviews and training and development .

Vivienne Patterson - Director
As a founding Director of EQ I have had extensive operational HR experience in both the public and private sectors. The time working in the health sector exposed me to complex multi occupational and unionised environments. As Industrial Relations
Advisor to the Ministry of Health, I had a unique opportunity to understand the pressures experienced by both employers and unions during major national multi employer negotiations and industrial action.
Further industry experience in IT, education and more recently consulting to a wide range of small and medium enterprises has provided me with the basis to initiate and develop the EQ HR Toolkit. Consulting has been provided in all aspects of HR including; recruitment,
performance management, team development, dispute resolution, change management and strategic planning. Mentoring and coaching is an important aspect of supporting our clients who are growing in confidence in managing their own internal HR issues.
I am passionate about providing practical business focused HR solutions and this is reflected in the user friendly approach to the product .
