Human Resources

Human resources are one of the most valuable assets for any organization. This department is the wheels to guide the organization to move forward with its goals and missions. The role of the VP of human resource plays a vital role in the successful administration on an organization.

In addition to federal laws there are also state employment laws that have to be adhered to and the responsibility of the HR department to ensure they are enforced. These laws (record retentions, criminal record check, etc.) must be kept in the forefront when making any important decisions with an employee.
