This is a client snapshot and testimonial of a unique Situation, Challenge and Solution as written by a client.
"We were in the process of combining two separate corporate entities with operations in five different states. To that end, we needed to bring all existing office policies into a common program, issue a handbook, and implement the new package. Jeannette consulted on the project and in a very competent and professional way, brought us through the ordeal within both budget and timetable. This involved complete writing of the handbook, as well as research of the various state and federal laws applicable to each location. That handbook is still in use today, and those minor amendments made were to address changes in corporate philosophy or situations not contemplated in the original version. We found Jeannette to be knowledgeable, responsive, and professional in her approach. It was a pleasure dealing with her, and we would not hesitate to work with her again should the situation arise.” (Corporate Vice President, Import)
