Some Words from our Clients
Anyone can claim to do good work. We think the real test is not what we say - it's what our clients say about us. Here are a few samples:

AGM Surveying & Engineering |
|

"With the assistance of Main Street Management, we at AGM have been able to develop a very professional and well organized employee handbook with practical policies for health and safety. In addition, about a year ago, Main Street Management's Marg Duffy took control of a rather complex discipline issue that suddenly erupted. She effectively brought the issue to a successful and efficient conclusion. The team at Main Street Management is currently helping us to produce solid policies for effective performance evaluations."

"Our company has had an extremely successful relationship with Main Street Management. We have experienced rapid growth and having Main Street Management as a resource allowed us the flexibility we needed to meet our evolving Human Resource requirements. Throughout our association, we have used Main Street to assist us with recruiting and screening, help with termination processes, develop HR Policies, as well as provide guidance and support in labour issues. We have consistently received only the most professional and practical assistance from all of the associates at Main Street Management, and most sincerely recommend them as an outstanding business to deal with."

"Main Street Management has provided HR services to our firm for a number of years. They have proven invaluable in providing not only employment law knowledge and expertise, but specifically with: developing pay scales along with job requirements, results driven management systems, ISO policies, and hiring and recruitment. In addition, Main Street Management has assisted us in dealing successfully with health and safety issues, including a severe accident which involved the WSIB, the Department of Labour, and LTD.
They have provided mediation between hourly employees and management as necessary, to assist in the ongoing operation of the plant. And, during plant shutdown, they developed a fair and equitable severance package, and assisted a number of the laid off employees in seeking alternative employment.
We have just recently completed a mediation between two management employees with Marg Duffy as mediator. Her expertise and ability to look at both sides of the issue brought an early and satisfactory resolve to the problem. I would not hesitate to recommend Marg Duffy and her team at Main Street Management to assist with your HR needs. Help was always timely, efficiently provided, and accepted by both Management and hourly employees. Plant operations are much smoother based on policies and procedures developed under their guidance."

"Our five year relationship with the team at Main Street Management has been very positive. The well-prepared staff has provided our small business 'hands-on' assistance with situations that maintain our day-to-day operations successfully.
Sometimes issues such as performance reviews can be challenging within a small company. However, Patti Stacey helped us handle reviews very professionally. By coaching us through the procedure of creating job-descriptions, and preparing staff and management for their roles in performance reviews, Patti enabled us to make this often sensitive practice a constructive opportunity for discussion and staff input.
As a small business owner, I really appreciate Main Street Management's practical approach, and look forward to many more years of partnership."

Strathroy Foods |

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased senior management at Strathroy Foods was in having Harold from Main Street Management represent us on an application before the OLRB. Harold definitely 'knows' the system and helped direct us through the application response as well as the settlement process, effecting a very favourable full and final settlement. I am planning on sharing the excellent consulting services Strathroy Foods received with our fellow HR practitioners at our next Strathroy HR group meeting."

"Main Street Management has assisted our business in several areas over the past five years.
We enlisted the services of Main Street Management when we were increasing our employee forces. They helped us develop an interview process that gave us relevant questions and equal comparison of the candidates we were looking at, along with reference checking that allowed us to confirm the truths of what we heard from the candidates.
Main Street Management helped us to develop a constructive Performance Review Program to help define the expectations the company has of its employees and a plan to effectively reach those expectations. Main Street Management took our Bonus program and helped us to set it up as an Award Program giving the employees as sense of ownership in the process and decreasing the sense of automatic assumption of a Bonus. The Award Program rewards employees for effort, contribution and years with the company. Main Street Management assisted us with discipline problems and helped us deal with difficult employees to create effective and positive change not just in work habits but also in attitudes.
Main Street Management remains for us a valuable resource to whom we can turn to for advice whether in regards to safety issues, employment policies or human rights issues and we are glad to have them as part of our company team striving to make sure the day to day operations go smoothly so that we can do what we were meant to do --- manufacture and sell goods as a team."

"In partnership with the staff at Main Street Management, we have been able to expand and implement solid policies for our Safety Program. This knowledgeable and resourceful group has developed: Health & Safety policy manuals, Human Resource manuals, and provided expert guidance through complex legal issues, including WSIB Claims and termination of employment cases. Their work has allowed our team at Tripp-Vogt-Trottier to feel confident that we are operating within the Employment Standards Act.
With their facilitation through these processes over the last two years, we have saved thousands of dollars in reduced accidents, and have created an early return to work program. They have been great, and I look forward to many more years of service together."
