OUR
STORY

IHR CONSULTING was founded in 2003 with the sole purpose of becoming the leading ONE-STOP HUMAN RESOURCE CENTRE for Malaysian SME businesses.

Our years of experience in dealing with the Malaysian SMEs made us realize that the HR is the most neglected function within any small and medium sized businesses.

The creation of IHR CONSULTING was to fill this gap of enabling the Malaysian SMEs to learn, adopt and practice good human resource management so they could attract, develop and retain the most valued asset – their employees. If not managed right, as we all know the employees could end up being a big financial liability.

Based on our experience and understanding of their needs as we are also an SME, we designed a range of human resource services from payroll outsourcing, HR advisory, consultancy and training. In some cases we also customized and tailored made our service to suit our clients needs as we truly care about Malaysian SMEs.

Over the past 15 years, we have established ourselves our brand as a reputable HR service provider to more than 500 SMEs in Malaysia undertaking various HR related tasks i.e. payroll and statutory requirement, advising them on complex labor and industrial relations issues, professionalising their human resource related documentation and many others.

OUR
VISION

We aim to become the PREFERRED human resource partner of the small and medium size companies in Malaysia providing a one-stop human resource SOLUTION to enable them to professionalize their human resource practices through our service and support.
