HR Consulting
Website Design/Social Media Management and Marketing
Leveraging my paralegal education and background, I fell into HR by accident, as many of the best have. I have a strong focus on doing what's right - either in regulatory compliance, honesty and integrity or simply applying The Golden Rule. I have specializations in:
-
cutting edge recruiting and branding with which I've identified and hired the Rock Stars and unicorns for decades;
-
compulsive focus on accuracy in regulatory and legal compliance to government and accrediting standards having passed dozens of audits and surveys with zero findings;
-
applying high efficiency practices into making HR a cost-effective element to a finely tuned business by reducing risk, increasing satisfaction and making the business resource of people the strongest possible investment in a company. ​

Policies and processes are vital to protect you and your company. In most states, unemployment is charged back to employers through tax or state unemployment funds. One former employee on unemployment can cost your company a couple of thousand dollars up to $15,000 - $20,000, each! Workers comp claims can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars even with insurance. By having proper policies and processes in place that are followed, you create your own best defense against these types of cases.

HIRING AND ONBOARDING FORMS AND PROCESS: There are many laws that apply to hiring an employee and many regulations that must be followed. Hiring is one of the biggest challenges any company can have. It is easy to appear discriminatory at several points. Several laws including Americans with Disabilities, Equal Employment Opportunity, Homeland Security, Internal Revenue Service and State Laws plus others may apply to your hiring activities. There are questions during the hiring process that are simply illegal to ask. To assure impartiality in hiring, it is important to document every step of the process to have defense of discrimination claims, as well as assure what is promised to a new employee is correct.
