Our mission is simple:

To Make Better Workplaces.

Our work makes your life easier, keeps you in compliance and saves you time and money. We believe that your employees matter. We also believe that happy, well-treated employees perform better, stay longer and contribute to organizational success. When HR is done right (and we know a thing or two about that!), it adds value to the entire organization.

How Can We Help You?

We are conveniently located outside of Frederick, MD. We work with clients in for-profit businesses, nonprofit organizations and government entities primarily located in Maryland and northern Virginia.

More On Our Mission

We work with business owners and managers who value their employees and understand that investing in human capital is the best way to engage, retain and motivate employees. Our business relationships focus on getting results. We advise you on how to solve your employee problems with honest and clear communication. We pride ourselves on being exceptionally responsive to clients and providing quality work every time.

We never treat you like a number. All of our clients are extremely important to us and we are interested in helping you succeed. Some firms don’t like to work with small businesses, but we embrace that fact.

People Focused. Purpose Driven. Creative Problem Solvers.
