About Us – ajconsulting

ajconsulting is a budding and hungry HR consulting firm founded by a hard core HR professional with hands-on experience of managing the HR function for various organisations in different verticals over a career spanning more than 33 years. Navigating enough and more real-life issues during this time, we have come to understand what organisations undergo in real-time situations. Every organisation is different, every issue is unique, and the solutions have to be thought through and co-created, with a clear implementation strategy before launch.

Nothing comes easy, there are no pre-determined answers; together with the client organisation, we strive to maximise the returns on the effort and finances put in to take the client organisation forward. The results are not solely for the sake of enriching the HR agenda, while this helps, but to make a positive impact on business outcomes.

We present objective solutions to real issues, or help in an organisation’s efforts to enable them to be better tomorrow than they are today – all with grounded support and co-creation of solutions.
