“I sought out HR Central as outsourced HR to save me time and augment our current HR practices. They started by conducting an audit of our existing HR processes and took the time to understand the culture of our organization. Every person I have worked with is quick to respond when I have a question and is knowledgeable about the direction I should take. I am especially happy with the quality service they provide to our franchisees. It has been great to have them as an HR partner as I focus on the other aspects of my position.”
