The team did a nice job of summarizing the issues/opportunities with the project. One area that we were looking to compete was a market research study around pricing. The group was unable to get that information, but the balance of the work was well laid out with recommendations.

Initial introduction and all communications with Pauline Bessada was professional, clear and timely. Our only disappointment was with the project team. They fell far short of even the minimal expectations we had for working with them to provide input on our business expansion plans.

Our intern was absolutely amazing. Took on more than I thought she could handle and delivered the project ahead of time and asked for more! The supervisor provided good structure and milestones. Everything went smoothly.

Everyone in our company works remotely. We needed a way to build a shared vision of our company and its culture, promote equity, diversity and inclusion, and give our team members the tools and information they need to enjoy their work and feel productive and engaged on a daily basis, and over time.
As part of their practicum, the Durham students worked closely with us to design and document processes, procedures, and tools, to help us improve the hiring and recruitment process, daily work experience of new and current team members, and improve our internal communication and organization. They helped us understand how to define and communicate remote working standards and habits, how to use and get help with the various tools and processes we follow for time-tracking, project management, reporting, what kind of meeting standards were needed, how to track holidays and leave requests, and so much more. At the same time they firmly grounded their recommendations in Ontario and Canadian employment law.
The Durham students demonstrated enthusiasm, research skills, creativity and insight throughout the practicum. The work they produced has already been put to use and will be of continued great value to us as we build our team. They were a real asset to our company, always professional and pleasant to work with, reliable, trustworthy, and fit in very well with our team. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure to work with your students and with you. The students were diligent and accepted feedback well. They accommodated requests and truly tried to do the best for their client. Inform Your Community is well-equipped for our gala and auction because of the project management work of this wonderful team. We now have lots of tools to work with not only for this upcoming event but also for all future gala and auction events thereafter.

We had the incredible opportunity to work with Mamta Sharma on the foundation's stand handbook. I felt like we didn't have enough time to finalize all of the details, but overall she did a good job.
