With our people services team
Mathew Atkinson
- CEO, The Priestley Academy Trust
“SAMpeople was our first venture into removing some heavy paper admin work as well as improving visibility to SLT, Line Managers and individuals. It is already making time savings, improved reporting processes and absence management. I look forward to adding more modules to cover all our HR tasks.”
Hazel Goodwin
- Business Manager, Ruskin Community High School
“The pull of information from SAMpeople Recruit to SAMpeople enables us to have everything in one place and the SCR module will mean an audit can be done instantly. The impact has been amazing, we are seeing change and we are seeing each school engaging with the systems. It’s helping build an inclusive culture.”
Sally Boaden
- Chief Finance & Operating Officer at Raleigh Education Trust
“The wide range of support, from attendance management, recruitment to more complex staffing needs is handled with sensitivity and speed. The consistent and knowledgeable relationship manager enables us to develop and share an understanding of the school’s needs, whilst knowing we are compliant with statutory and legal duties… This has supported the wellbeing of our leaders. WE have no hesitation in recommending FusionHR.”
Jayne Kennedy
- Executive Headteacher, National Leader of Education, LINK Learning Trust
“Having conducted our own financial cost and risk benefit analysis, Fusion is real value for money! I have never come across another provider with such a great product. It’s nice to work with someone who has been in the business for so long, and who gives such sensible, practical, advice. I would recommend FEPS without hesitation. Working with Fusion is like night and day compared to our previous supplier, who felt like an albatross dragging us backwards.”
Adrian Whiteley
- Headteacher, The Mosslands School, Wirral
“As a headteacher, I have had the privilege of working with FusionHR services on a regular basis, each time they have surpassed my expectations. The consultants are able to navigate complex issues with professionalism and efficiency. They are always on hand to share their expert knowledge and advice, the support that Fusion provide is invaluable.”
