Accommodation of the needs of others forms part of our service offering
Burns-Hoffman Consulting has a flexible approach to the manner in which assessments of individuals are carried out, and accommodate such wherever it makes the most sense for the client. This may be in the Burns-Hoffman consulting rooms in Wynberg, Cape Town; at the work place of the individual, which inevitably includes a worksite evaluation; at the individual’s home or at some another suitable venue of choice. The choice of venue and timing of any assessment, as well as the turn-around-time with regard to the delivery of the completed report and or opinion, are important factors that are taken into account when matters are referred and taken on, so as to ensure as optimal and timeous process as possible for all concerned.
Elise often works remotely, and has consulted extensively on Skype, Zoom and MST for many years from destinations all over South Africa and across the globe when traveling nationally and internationally, according to the needs of clients.
