As the CEO of HR Concise with 20 years of direct experience, I know that a proactive and strategic Human Resources system is the most effective way to manage the essential people related requirements of your business. HR Concise is founded on the principle that being proactive in employee related actions is less expensive both financially and from a time perspective than dealing with potential problems after they occur. As your business grows it is critical to have competent employees that are engaged in their work and that represent your business as you intend it to be represented.  Establishing a strong human resources infrastructure early on will allow you to meet your legal obligations, hire and retain the employees that are right for your business as well as provide a framework to add programs and policies, as they are needed. My philosophy is that the less bureaucratic and complex a human resources system is the simpler it is to manage it and thus stay focussed on growing your business while maintaining positive employee relations.  HR Concise services are available in the following formats:   (1) Defined projects to design human resources projects, develop clear and concise policies or employee retention and development programs. (2) As needed consultations, via phone, Skype, email or in-person as appropriate (3) Core proactive packages: workbook format which can be purchased for self-directed use or in conjunction with a defined hours consultation.   I have also built a network of experienced human resources and training consultants for reliable referrals when your business requires additional resources.
