Vital Learning Leadership

Your managers must be strong leaders in order to thrive in any environment. That’s why you need leadership training courses in the three critical areas of management: essential leadership skills, talent management and team development.

HR Consultants, Inc. has been a critical component of our agency for over 20 years. As a small agency, with only one HR coordinator, we rely heavily on HR consultants for their expertise in HR best practices, lending to their high quality services. Our success has been driven by their passion for establishing a strategic direction lending to greater employee engagement and productivity, increased revenue prospects, and enhanced HR functionality. Thank you for being a partner in our mission.”

During your engagement here in Monmouth, you audited a wide variety of functions and business processes in our HR division, in an effort to upgrade, modernize and improve operations within our county workforce of 3,000 employees. The resulting work product was done in conformance with the highest professional standards. We can now state categorically that the county’s HR division has become an example of best practices, and its business processes are strategically and technologically up to date.

Pine Instrument Company wanted to find a consultant to assist in developing its first Affirmative Action Plan. I researched consultants via the web and interviewed 3, including Judi Mickey from HR Consultants, Inc. Without hesitation, I selected HR Consultants to work with and have been more than impressed and pleased with every facet of the project. The HR Consultants’ Team made what I thought would be a burdensome and overwhelming project enjoyable. The Team is beyond professional, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, experienced, and customer friendly. I have learned a lot and enjoyed working with HR Consultants and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. Thank you for all your support.
