bright solutions.
profitable results.
Our approach to consulting is always a non-judgmental two-way conversation. Some clients want a sounding board to bounce some ideas around while others strategize steps to handle delicate workplace challenges or employee issues. We’re content to offer new ideas, propose alternatives or roll up our sleeves to help clients implement plans on-site. Our experience allows us to remain flexible and effective when serving your business with our human resource support.
Our clients are business owners, executives and HR Managers who want a dependable Human Resource contact familiar with their people, personalities, and worksite policies. We serve our clients by email, phone or in person and can accommodate any industry or employer size.
business trial
The only risk for a potential client is an hour of time. We promise; no sales tactics, no strings, no credit card. You’ll receive up to sixty (60) minutes of the same human resource support as any of our current clients. Put us to the test and reach out with your workplace compliance and HR related questions. We’ll listen and ask a few follow up questions so we can provide a reliable answer and some alternatives to consider. We don’t provide legal advice; so consult an attorney on any legal matters.
Once your 60 minute business trial account is activated, you can use all your time at once or over a few calls. It’s that easy. We’re confident the experience you take away from the trial will be enough to consider us for a future business relationship.
