We are amazed at the results and how it has improved our retention and reduced our turnover. After ten months, we have documented savings of $92,400. The project investment was $9,375. That's an ROI of over 800%. We plan to expand the program further. Thank you HR Group."

"Since leaving Kay Chemical Company five years ago, I have had the pleasure of using the services of David and the HR Group to help with several start-up businesses I am involved with, ranging from a new bank to a retail chain to an education company. We used the HR Group to help with employee handbooks, compensation issues, and a variety of human resource matters that a larger company would ask of its human resource department. I have always been delighted with the quality of work, the wisdom of advice, and the attentiveness of the HR Group."

"AIG United Guaranty began its diversity initiative in 2005. Realizing that outside expertise was needed, we contacted you to help us find a consultant who had the needed diversity expertise, but also, and just as importantly, the ability to work effectively with our senior management team. You introduced us to Lenora Billings-Harris.

Throughout the process, I found Lenora to have the expertise and professionalism needed for this assignment, reflected by the fact that, when presented to the senior management team, the initiative was unanimously adopted. I was very pleased with the quality of Lenora's consultation."

"I just wanted to share my thoughts after just attending the Diversity Competency Training offered by Mecklenburg County this week. Our trainer was Mel Asbury. The class was not only informative but engaging. He kept everyone involved which is one of the largest hurdles to training a class of diverse adults. He facilitated making training by making it conducive to learning. He created a safe environment for participants to explore and question ideas and beliefs. It was a positive experience from beginning to end."

"Cost effective HR advice often requires a team - professionals who understand the HR practitioner's world and attorneys to advise the client on the law. Particularly in areas such as training, assistance in drafting/ reviewing policies, and internal audits, The HR Group helps us hold down the client's total cost. Their knowledge and experience is broad, practical and up-to-date. I enjoy working with them and do not hesitate to recommend them."
