Are you ready to book an extra seat at your year end function?

95% of our clients invite us to attend their year-end functions. That’s how deeply ingrained we become in your team. And with a Net Promoter Score of 79, it's easy to see why our year-end calendars are so full. 

But what makes Ferva’s HR approach different to any run-of-the-mill option out there? 

Seeing your company without the sugar coating

We’re not complacent. We tell you the truth about your company. And it won’t always be easy to hear. Because even with all the compassion in the world, hearing your shortcomings is always hard. 

It can be a hard pill to swallow. But it’s those difficult truths we like to shine a light on and help change. 

Because you need radical candour if you want to realise radical change. 

HR masters or masters of the mind - you decide

Our team all hold Master’s Degrees in Organisational Psychology, giving us a deeper understanding of how people interact with companies and their professional ecosystem. 

Ferva is registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and is certified to give HR support and insights that are supported by research-backed people tech. 

This marriage between individualised psychology insights and large-scale business processes is what defines the Ferva way. It’s the best way (actually, the only way) to create a company culture and operational ecosystem that makes people want to stick around and see what the journey has in store next.

Who doesn’t like options?

When you work with Ferva, you get options. There’s more than one way to solve your problems. There’s more than one strategy that can work. And the final choice of which solution you’re most comfortable with will always be yours. 

You get to be a part of deciding what’s going to work … with a strong nudge from our side of course. (We are the experts, you know.)

We’re not afraid of goodbyes

We have long-standing relationships with many of our clients, some for them for the full 7 years we’ve been operational. But when you’ve outgrown Ferva, we’ll tell you. 

Maybe you’ve grown to a scale where in-house HR is the best option for you. Or your retention problem was solved with minimal input. No matter what the reason is, we always knew the day would come when our job would be done and you’d be able to grow without us. 

And that’s exactly what we hope for you. 

If it should happen that our values diverge in the future and we’re no longer the perfect fit for your people strategy, we’ll be honest and part ways on good footing allowing each party to stay true to their journey without compromise. 

HR isn’t something that should happen TO your employees. It’s something that should happen WITH them.

We don’t just work for you. We work with you. And that’s why we include employees on every operational level in the journey, whether that be an intern or a valued cerebral talent. 

Building HR strategies around the sole input of business leaders and managers gets you a one-sided strategy that doesn’t actually address the engagement and retention challenges you face. 

We’ve worked with tons of companies, seen tons of procedures that work. Each one unique and different. There’s no playbook for this. There’s only what works for you. Let’s help you find it.
