Principle HR Solutions and Consulting, LLC
Principle HR Solutions LLC was founded on a belief that people are the key driver to a company’s success.
They believe that ensuring clients have the “Right People” in the “Right Jobs” doing the “Right Work” in the “Right Environment” is the recipe for that success. They call it R to the 4th Power. Get the principles out of balance, try to run a business’ HR on your own, and the result is paperwork and pain. Principle HR will power a client’s small to midsize business with the partnership-like relationships large firms enjoy.
Their process follows three steps:
Launch: The HR process begins with a thorough review of current processes and level of basic compliance. Formal recommendations are made for correction and alignment with sound practices.
Foundation: Addresses gaps and risk points in a sequential process.
Build-out: Principle HR begins the build-out of substantive client HR practices that are geared toward growth and client goals.
