ABOUT BOYD HR
About Boyd HR Human Resource Services Donegal
Our Founder
Our late founder Michael Boyd was a science graduate and spent the early years of his career working in Multinational Pharmaceutical, Electronic & Medical Device Industries, where he held a number of positions in Research & Development, Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Training & Development and Human Resources.
In 1999 Michael identified an opportunity in the marketplace to provide HR on an outsourced basis to SME’s that could not justify having dedicated HR Professionals. Today, 25 years later, Boyd HR employs five staff in the provision of this service to over forty Client Companies in the North West.
Michael was also a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD), an Associate Lecture with the National College of Ireland and was a past President of the Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce & Industry. He was also a member of IBEC and the Small Firms Association.
What To Expect When Working With Us
Our Uniqueness
We work with the Managing Director or the Manager of our client organisations in order to clearly define the results they want to achieve. We then put a step-by-step action plan in place in order to realise the desired results. We work with some of the largest employers in the North-West and across Ireland along with many small progressive businesses. We have learnt ‘Best Practice’ from Leading Multi-Nationals and successfully transferred this knowledge to our client organisations.
Guiding Beliefs or Values
“At least 90% of all problems in organisations are in the systems” – Dr W. Edwards Deming.
We are very much influenced by Deming. When there is an issue in an organisation we look for systemic failures in the first instance. If someone is not performing at the level they need to be performing at, or behaving in a way that they should behave, we first look to see:
- if the individual clearly knows and understands as to what exactly they are responsible and accountable for;
- if they know how they should behave;
- if they have the requisite knowledge, skills, attributes and attitude to carry out their role effectively;
- the level of leadership capability in an organisation;
- the performance management processes; and
- the recognition and reward systems in place.
Our Approach
We critically look at where the organisation is at in the market place, consider the environmental influences acting on it, pinpoint and get agreement with the Directors as to the key issues affecting the business and propose a work-plan detailing desired outcomes requiring resolution.
