HRKS in the media
Ardie’s recent appearances
“For small companies like New Creation Labels, being in compliance and staying in compliance with human resource requirements can be a challenge. Thankfully, we discovered HR Knowledge Source. They helped us update our employee handbook, audited our employee files and conducted a safety review. All of these things were done promptly and efficiently by people who know their business. The folks at HRKS were so pleasant to work with and helped us every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to other small businesses.”
Robin Houston
Owner, New Creation Labels & Packaging
"HRKS was engaged to assist our church in implementing our HR infrastructure. This included the creation of an HR and Employee handbook, associated policies, and procedures; the revision of job descriptions, and conduct a talent and organizational assessment. They were also instrumental in rolling out a new HR infrastructure to the employees of the church by conducting workshops designed to both educate and secure buy-in from the church's staff. The workshops were well received, and the employees were extremely receptive to information that was presented. While I was somewhat skeptical about the impact this project would have on both the operations and culture of the church, HRKS understanding of the faith-based world convinced me early on that they were absolutely the right solution to our problem."
