HR-In-A-Box

Every business needs information on how to properly handle Human Resources issues.  Family-owned businesses are no exception.  Employees cannot be expected to follow the rules, if they do not know the rules.  Having the proper Human Resources information at hand can go a long way in protecting the company against fines, keeping you in compliance; avoid employee disputes and even costly lawsuits.  One disgruntled employee, a poorly-worded want ad or employee review can lead to legal trouble.

Now there is a way for you to stay on top of the ever-changing Human Resources landscape even if your needs do not require a full-time Human Resources employee or a dedicated HR staff.  HR-In-A-Box was designed for the small business.  It is the ultimate Human Resources tool which includes elements needed to allow you to operate without the worry of an HR misstep.

HR-In-A-Box will include the items your company needs today, and is flexible enough to grow as your company changes.  All packages include a hard copy of the documents and instructions, as well as a disk containing all of the products which can be customized with your company name or logo.   The basic package fits almost any small company, and can help get you up-to-speed and compliant with little effort.

As your company and needs grow and change, our enhanced package solutions are right for you.  You can purchase the individual packages as your needs dictate.  And, once you purchase information from the HR-In-A-Box series, you will automatically be notified of any changes to compliance rules and regulations, and will be eligible for discounts on HR web-based training offered through CausaAssociates, LLC, for up to six months from date of purchase.
