Testimonials
I am delighted to provide this recommendation for Suzy Simons, who served as the Senior Manager and Executive of Human Resources at my BPO company for nearly 30 years with an ever increasing remit and responsibilities. Suzy’s tenure with us was nothing short of exceptional, and she played a pivotal role in shaping the organisation into a global operation of over 1,000 employees before its acquisition in 2016. She continued in this role until the end of 2024.
Suzy was the backbone of our HR organisation, consistently delivering expert guidance and support to the board on all HR and people-related matters. Her professionalism and deep understanding of HR practices ensured that our company always operated at the highest standards of compliance and care. Beyond her technical expertise, Suzy’s warm and caring personality made her a trusted figure among employees. She had an incredible ability to connect with people, and staff felt confident turning to her for support with both professional and personal challenges.
Her unique combination of competence, compassion, and professionalism created a workplace culture that thrived under her leadership. Suzy’s dedication and contributions went far beyond her role—she helped build an environment where people felt valued and motivated, which was key to our company’s success and growth.
I wholeheartedly recommend Suzy Simons for any position that values leadership, dedication, and people-centric management. Any organisation would be fortunate to have her on their team.

I have worked with Suzy for some 27 years, for the majority of this time I was her line manager. In Suzy’s role at transcomsos of Global Head of Human Resources she was ultimately responsible for all matters relating to HR in our locations in the UK, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Philippines and USA. The HR departments in these countries reported directly into Suzy. I would describe Suzy as having the safest pair of hands from an HR point of view that any company could wish for. Over her 27 years with transcosmos she kept us on the straight and narrow as we expanded ensuring we managed our employees in a professional and fair manner keeping us aligned with employment regulations and best practices in all our locations. Suzy is always willing to offer her advice and assistance to other departments and has an excellent rapport with all those she comes into contact with including the company’s Board members, the management team, customers, employers, suppliers and other professional organisations.

I spent 5 years and 10 months working with Suzy. She is one of the main reasons why I and the rest of HR Philippine team stayed onboard our company, validated by a very low turnover rate for the team.
She guided me from a senior HR officer role to a lead and HR manager role. Helping me navigate through a dynamic work environment while allowing me to display my and my team's potential. She was also instrumental in the growth of other organic HR team members who now are leaders themselves.
Above all, the courtesy, consideration, respect and her confidence were key factors in the HR's team dynamics. Despite being the head of the department and a thousand miles away, she was always ready to roll up her sleeves to support the team, always aware of what was going on and at the same time allowing the local team to plan/strategize and execute, only to jump in when necessary - this was a major factor in the successful development of the team. Her support and objectivity when providing guidance and assistance clearly showcased her wealth of experience of managing multiple teams from multiple countries in Asia and Europe. The culture she embodied paved the way for me and my team to develop in a manner that was centred on human relations and dynamics, considering each team member's individual characteristics and situation, applying maximum tolerance in testing situations while maintaining firmness, empathy and flexibility at the same time, how a true leader should be.
